Fun new approach for the Pokémon series. I had a great time exploring Hisui and trying the new mechanics. Highly recommended for something fresh to the series.

As someone who’s played Pokémon for as long as they can remember, I genuinely can say this is the Pokémon game a lot of fans have been waiting for. The world is immersive, and feels a lot more like you’re in the Pokémon world rather than just the traditional turn based battle system. The Pokémon have personalities, and it shows when certain Pokémon come up to you to be friendly and others attack unprovoked. However, there are some slight issues. At the times the controls can feel a bit unpolished; for example, the lightest touch can make your character walk and can only be stopped by moving in the opposite direction, which can be really annoying when you’re trying to sneak. Also, the story and people in general could certainly be more fleshed out, although it’s safe to say most people do not play Pokémon for the plot. Overall, I’d say this is the best Pokémon game they’ve ever released, and I’m definitely excited to see how they continue to expand on the Legends format for future games!

Have not played it yet but i hear it is so much fun and i cant wait to get started!

I got this as my first pokemon game on the switch and was greeted with a completely new feel compared to previous pokemon games on the DS. It is open world and allows you to explore at your own pace. In addition, the new battling and catching mechanics were a real blast to learn and use.

This is the game rhat we have always wanted, to see Pokemon roaming freely wjere we can interact with them in an open world like game. This is the most alive a Pokemon game has ever felt and they have fnally improved the battle mechanics. The animations are no longer stiff and Pokemon actually move accrodingly to attacks. You can decide how you want to engage Pokemon, battle them to catch or catch them without battling. This is the first game where the world feels alive and is truly the future for Pokemon.

this game is really fun to play, it has good story and great gameplay, and its open world

A much more open world and sandbox Pokémon, along with an engaging story and new mechanics makes this a great Pokémon game.

Pokémon Legends Arceus is a great game to play for me at least. If you faint in-game you drop a pouch with some items and other players in the community can find it for you. You can also find other peoples bags and get rewards like Exp. Candies. It also is a very different experience then most Pokémon games. Great game to play during any time of the day.

Nintendo/Gamefreak decided to do something different with Pokemon and it's amazing. This story is unique in that it takes place in a time where Pokemon Trainers and Pokemon Gyms didn't exist. It's an open world-ish and allows for interesting fighting mechanics and very interesting capture mechanics. This game is also works great in handheld mode so JoyCons are all you need. The Pokemon models looks great, it is a beautiful game. Definitely purchase this game, you will have fun.

An amazing open world pokemon experience! Has more of a focus on catching Pokémon rather than battling gym leaders.

Great game, easy to pour several hours/days into. Love the new setting and style of game play, definitely a depature from pokemon games of old.

Very high-quality game, order was ready within an hour.

This is probably one of the best Pokemon games in recent years. Pokemon during the switch era has been the topic of a lot of controversy concerning the quality of the games, some of the issues I have noticed in my own experience while playing Scarlet & Violet or Sword & Shield. But whatever gripes you have about those games, don't use them to judge buying this one. Gamefreak went above and beyond and made something truly special that can resonate with both new fans and old fans and I really respect that. So please, if you're a Pokemon fan, give this one a shot.

Finally, they listened. After a half dozen Pokemon games played, having an open-world experience where you don't have to beat up pokemon in order to catch them is refreshing. The battle mechanics are similar to the classics, although you can't pick what attack gets forgotten when your pokemon learns a new one (as far as I can see). It's Pokemon meets Monster Hunter and the story is easy enough to follow for kids and older fans like me. I like it!

A different kind of Pokémon game for the series. I enjoyed it much more than Sword and Shield. The open world is fun and the high level pokémon are a challenge. The graphics and textures are not great.

First Pokemon game I have picked up on the switch since the 3DS/2DS games. Like that you can catch all the Pokemon outside of battle if you are sneaky enough. Combat is completely changed from other games, but the majority of the time you are spending completing tasks to fill out an early form of the PokeDex. Great open world concept and it takes on a new angle of what it means to catch Pokemon

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is fantastic! The gameplay feels fresh and immersive, and exploring the world on the Switch OLED is stunning. Great story, fun mechanics, and it’s a must-have for any Pokémon fan

Pokémon Legends: Arceus has taken the Pokémon franchise to unprecedented heights, redefining what it means to be a Pokémon Trainer. The breathtaking open-world setting of ancient Sinnoh is a masterpiece in itself, with lush landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and a sense of wonder around every corner.

This game makes you feel like the very best that no one ever was. Nintendo needs to make more pokemon games like this.

I love this game due to its long game play. Great game to play thats cozy and i can’t get bored easily. Great for gaming during long car rides or flights
