By far one of the best Pokemon games for the Switch!!!

Great game that changes up the style of the old Pokémon I’m used to. It is fun!

This game extends the players' play reach with more active actions such just actually throwing a pokeball that we weren't able to do in Pokemon games until now, and implementing craftsmanship to actually create the pokeballs on the go. It's not really an open world game but players can wonder off in more open spaces compared to previous Pokemon games. Even after the main game there are several missions and requests to play. It's the perfect Pokemon game. Hopefully they relase more Pokemon games like this in the future.

First time playing pokemon and love the game so far.

A new spin on the Pokémon franchise, this game has a more openworld and freeroam setup then even the wild area of Sword and Shield. The only thing that prevents total exploration at the start of the game is the environment itself, and has a similar setup to the riding Pokémon in Sun and Moon. My only criticism is the world is very grey and boring, each of the first 4 areas look exactly the same. The last area looks different because it is covered in snow, but the mountains look like the rest of the areas.

This game take everything you know about pokemon and flips it on its head in a very good way. Alotnis different in this fame to keep you engaged and wanting to grind and just experience the depth and the different approaches that they chose and they all work within the pokemon universe and paint an amazing picture. This will 100% be a game that fans will talk about for years to come.

Gameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I found Sword/Shield disappointing, and had no interest in the Diamond/Pearl remakes. I was cautious and skeptical of Legends Arceus, and I'm so happy to be loving this game. It's not quite open world like many thought though. It's more akin to Monster Hunter, with large sections interconnected to a central hub zone. But running around tossing Pokeballs and fighting wild mons is so much fun. I can't say much else that watching reviews or Let's Plays won't. If you love Pokemon, you need to buy this game.

Ordered for the husband, he and the kids love it! If i had the time, I'd sit down and play as well

I absolutely loved this game, it's been so great to play!

Fun game to play! Great way to break from school or work.

The catching action is the best and is very smooth on the switch

Surprisingly great! Did not have high expectations for the game but personally, it's better than Scarlet and Violet

Rating a game badly because it shipped slowly to you is in poor taste. Looking beyond that, this game is absolutely incredible. The new catching and battle mechanics make everything seem like one grand adventure instead of a bunch of tedious cutscenes. The freedom this game gives is great and I can't wait to finish it in its entirety.

Such an amazing game! So happy to finally have an open world Pokémon game. The mechanics are incredible and it’s so much fun

Very fun, love the graphics and story in the Pokemon world

Another great entry in the Pokémon series. Great graphics and great story, very open ended

I bought this as a birthday gift for my 24 year old son. He is a Pokemon fan and looked forward to receiving this game. He hasn't stopped playing it since he got it, other than to eat or sleep! That is high praise from him. He has not complained about any game play that has problems or is glitchy or could have been done better. He says the game is similar to Breath of the Wild, but with Pokemon. The artwork in the game is beautiful. I have peered over his shoulder while he plays a few times.

Arceus is one of the most engaging Pokemon games out there. It combines aspects of Monster Hunter and Pokemon Snap into a compelling experience. A lot of the action takes place against wild Pokemon. You have to use your own team to weaken them without knocking them out. Pokemon move based on their speed and the attacks they use. I recommend this game.

I have the Switch for 2 reasons, games involving Mario and Pokemon games. This game follows the open world concept of Sword/Shield but with much more depth. Would highly recommend this game to any Pokemon fans as well as those who have no idea what Pokemon are. Buy this and don’t waste your money on Scarlet & Violet.
