Absolutely love this game,pickup was simple and organized

I bought this for my wife's birthday. She enjoyed playing through the game. I wantched her play parts of it. This is what she told me. Positive: -Game is faster/wastes less time -Open world with pokemon walking around (improved from previous Sword/Shield game) -YOU can choose when pokemon evolve -Easy to travel around the world -Easy to change pokemon moves making it less punishing to try out new pokemon in your team -Crafting is a nice addition Cons: -Special abilities that define certain pokemon not included -Boss battles are less about battling them with pokemon and more about dodging and throwing stuff at them -Odd looking choices for the design of certain objects/areas (what is up with some of those trees?) -Quests for legendary pokemon (other than the ones in the main story line) that used to be very important are given very little attention All in all. It's a welcome change in the formula the game has needed, but some areas need more work to reach their potential.

Open world Pokemon following greater market trends. Fun to interact with individual Pokemon to interesting backdrop and less than stellar written characters and plot. Greater worry is the hope of improved iteration to Pokemon as a franchise without simply giving into trite checkboxes

I wish more Pokémon games were more like this one. This game is the most fun I've had completing the pokédex, and the new mechanics like the strong/agile style moves, catching Pokémon in overworld, requests, etc are cool and unique. Lots of replay value, it was well worth my time. Would 100% recommend, A+

I bought this game because it is open world. If you want to see a vibrant open world Pokémon game, this is an excellent addition to your collection. The Pokémon actually interact with humans. You can sneak around and even do a surprise if you hit them first. GREAT FUN!

First time playing pokemon and love the game so far.

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

A lot of fun. I really enjoyed the game. It gets a little repetitive near the end but the story is good and it is a really fun adaptation of the original gameplay.

New take on the Pokemon series, only have been able to play for a couple hours but I like what I have seen. Would be nice if it ran higher than 30fps.

one of the best pokemon game good music, good graphic, a good story and show the beginning of pokemon history. good game

Great game worth every bit. I had so much fun from the explorations to the gameplays definitely peak pokemon up there with Black 2 and White 2

This is a great game, I love the change-up in the style of game play. It's an open-world style and not based on one task opening the next part.

One of the best Pokemon games I've ever play! I really enjoy exploring different places and catch pokemon. It do feels like an open world pokemon!

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

Arceus is definitely a great but intriguing way to change what’s known from the current pokemon universe and change perspectives on multiple aspects within the realm of pokemon, definitely for players looking for a challenge as it strays from the normal pokemon games main objectives

Ever wanted to be a Pokemon biologist? This is your chance to shine! Build the world's first Pokedex, and have a fun adventure in the process! See the Sinnoh (Diamond/Pearl) region become what it is known as in present time in the pokemon universe with almost completely open world play. I cannot describe to you how this is exactly the Pokemon system I always wanted. It is my perfected thought of an entry to the system that not only builds on everything that came before, but also adds more interesting twists and turns to the old formula.

Great gameplay and amazing story. Lore is amazing!

I love the new mechanics introduced in this game. It's fun that is open world and you can catch Pokemon in their habitats.

Great game and very different from other Pokémon games. A little harder than the other games but still approachable.

great addition to the series and expansion of the concept. a little tedious at times with the dialogue and so forth, but a genuinely challenging pokemon experience. no multiplayer battles (!?!?) is a huge bummer
