Customers are saying

Customers praise Pokémon Scarlet as a fun and enjoyable game with a great open world and story. Many players highlight the positive aspects of the game's design and narrative. However, some customers report experiencing performance issues, including lag and glitches that detract from the overall experience. These technical problems, while noted, don't entirely overshadow the positive feedback on the game's core features.

    The game play of Scarlet/Violet is fantastic. If you are able to look past or laugh at the silly graphical and frame rate issues, this game is quite enjoyable.

    Not the best Pokemon game, but still fun to play. I managed to find a shiny Capsakid early on.

    I love pokemon, my kids both love pokemon. The only only thing sucks is having to get multiple of the same game so we can all play pokemon.

    Fun Open World Entry

    Very fun. Not quite as deeply involved as Arceus, and I miss the ability to just catch wild Pokémon by just throwing a ball at them, but it’s a nice blend of that and a more traditional title.

    I played though it and it seems like a stepping stone toward better tech but the underlying Pokemon experience is more of the same old tired formula. On top of that, the game frequently lags and hiccups. I finished it but really have no strong desire to play anymore. Definitely have no desire to buy the overpriced expansion.

    Glitchy but still a fun game. Given some time could still turn around and be very successful.

    Somehow worse than the previous installment of Sword and Shield. Lots of gamebreaking glitches. Visually unimpressive for a game made by the richest videogame developer in the world. Wouldn't be as bad if it was like 40 dollars or less
