Customer Ratings & Reviews

While these games are fun most of the time, they are very unpolished and at times and have some functional issues. — The main town is very daunting on the eyes wifh all of the edges and window lines moving as the player moves. — Ive also had Pokemon get stuck in the wall of where I’m hunting. That should have been noticed in testing, and its clear that not much testing was done. The developers needed to give these games more love.

Compared to all the other Pokémon games since I started playing Pokémon this is the biggest let down but it’s still not as much of a let down as arceus

The story of the game is good but the graphic and technical section is very bad, low fps freezes, the game is slow sometimes, etc.

This game isn’t bad, but it isn’t very engaging. It’s somewhat simple and just didn’t grab us the same way previous major entries have.

I regret buying the graphics are pretty ugly and the battles are tedious

great game to play but the system crashes sometimes but it's rare when it happens and again good game to play

Having problems. Game has many glitches which make it hard to play

As far as Pokémon games go, and there’s a lot of them, this is by far the newest one.

Game is unfinished and incomplete. Do not reward Gamefreak for bad game development.

The game in general is not to bad but the graphics arent the best.

The overall gameplay is one of the best pokemon experiences ive had but what makes this game unplayable is the performance issues and graphics which are some of if not the worst i have ever personally seen in a video game.

Pokemon is the HIGHEST grossing franchise of all time and somehow they can release disappointing games like these. The game is full of bugs, horrible graphics, bad animations...the list is endless.

The game overall has potential, but the constant bugs and glitch, with the lowest frames per second possible, makes the game have a low review

Big step back from Sword and Shield. My Pokémon obsessed daughter played for a few days before stopping

Shortert played pokemon game to date. Looks like garbage. Story is all iver the place. Open world is vast and void of life.

No true pokemon fan should enjoy this product. Its a mess. To many bugs to many issues

Bad overall. Dtory is lacl luster and for being open world it is criminally empty

Game came later then promised but the game itself is ok..

Like many RPGs . This tells a story through dialogue instead of real gameplay. Stick to writing novels people. How are kids supposed to keep up or stay awake through 30 scenes of dialogue WITH CUT SCENES DISABLED?

One of the best Pokémon games yet, despite the rather poor technical performance. There's a lot to do, especially if one gets the DLC. Replay value is really high due to the game's open world structure allowing you to make your own path (though the absence of proper adaptive level scaling makes it a bit hard, outside of Part 1 of the DLC story), plus how items respawn every now and then and you can choose whichever Pokémon you want to play with. The plot is easily among the best Pokémon has had yet - arguably the single best yet. The characters are all amazing, not one of them having poor character arcs. The music and sound direction is also banger. Overall really solid experience, highly recommend.
