Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one of the best Pokemon games of all time. While you can't catch em all like in older games, there are still a ton of Pokemon around in open world environment to catch. And unlike Sword/Shield, the game does a good job justifying why all the Pokemon are not present. Some people call this the Breath of the Wild of Pokemon games. They're right.

If you like collecting pokemon and filling the Pokedex like in previous games but want the added Breath of the Wild open world with a bit more freedom than traditional Pokemon games then this will be a good fit. It has crafting and questing elements to it but to me the most entertaining thing so far has just been exploring and treating the game like exploring an unknown forest or lake region in real life. There are things here that fans of traditional Pokemon games may not enjoy or find lacking in comparison to Legends Arceus but at its core, it's a fun new experience in the Pokemon world.

Really fun gameplay! There’s a lot of fun things to do in this title. My favorite obviously being the new catching and battling mechanics. If you’re buying this for a sibling or child it’ll entertain no problem whatsoever. My biggest issue is that gamefreak needs to work harder on their titles and delay them if need be. The issue with that though is that anyone (myself included) will buy most things they put out. I’m excited to see the next entry in the LEGENDS series, hopefully with improved graphics and an actual open world instead of areas you fast travel to that are open world.

Needed it for a birthday gift. It was the last one in stock! Great game glad I got to share it with some one else

Pokémon Legends Arceus is an amazing addition to the Pokémon game titles. The game play is amazing and being an open world Pokémon game, allows you to interact with Pokémon better then any other Pokémon game previously. Overall this os one of the best Pokémon games to come out. Hopefully we see more Pokémon games with this style in the future.

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

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

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

Fun game! I have enjoyed playing it so far!!!!!!!!

This was my game back into Pokemon since Pokemon Go and Pokemon Pearl on the DS. Open world makes it more fun to see Pokemon that you can approach and battle. Story has a good mix of battling trainers, filling up your Pokedex, and battling Pokemon. Would highly recommend!

I've been playing Pokemon since the original Red and Blue and this game has been a joy to experience. They captured all the thrill of catching and battling Pokemon in the core series games and added an open-world and some much needed improvements to the overall experience. Any Pokemon fan will be sure to love it.

I don't have anything bad to say about the game. It's a fun, open world pokemoj game in which no pokemon battles are necessary (well, some are, but thats just story progression). This is the step in the right driection that pokemon fames in this day and age needed to take. Five stars for sure, obviously.

Good game. My son liked it. What else to say. Good game

This is almost the exact Pokemon game I have always wanted. I just wish there were more traditional gyms and that is was set in the first/second gen worlds like Gold/Silver/Crystal were. Too many new Pokemon for an OG like me to learn these day. lol

Arceus is amazing. It’s been awhile sinde I’ve been excited for a Pokemon game. This game delivers. The Switch graphics and the overall story has sucked me into the universe of Pokemon once again. Loving the mechanics of the game and the old setting. Thanks to Best Buy for delivering this to my home in a day.

Legends Arceus is different from the normal Pokémon games in its open world exploration/catching mechanics/ and overworks dangers. Overall it feels like a mix of Monster Hunter and Breath of the wild. I had a absolute blast playing this and will be putting a lot of hours in to the post game in the future!

Nice game, one of the best. very friendly and entretaining

Was so excited when I heard this was coming out that I pre-ordered it. And that was definitely the right choice! It’s a mix of the familiar Pokémon you know and the new with the wild Pokémon battles and quests. It’s definitely more challenging than the standard Pokémon game which makes it all the more fun!

I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband. He really enjoys playing the game and is having fun playing it on his Nintendo switch.

This is the best Pokemon game yet. The feudal Japan theming and overall story is great. The open world experience, while not truly "open world," is refreshing and entertaining — it enables engaging replay value deep into the post-game. The wild Pokemon interaction experience is incredible... it's so sad it wasn't brought back for Scarlet/Violet (crossing my fingers that future games embrace this). So many of the typical Pokemon game headaches are simplified if not completely remedied in PLA. So much more good to say about this game. The only downside is how limited the trainer battle system, as well as other aspects of the game are. You can tell this game was developed alongside S/V and that both teams took certain liberties that further fractured the broader Pokemon experience. It may not be perfect, but I think it's way better than Scarlet and Violet.
