    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    This game is great. I loved the old Pokémon games as a kid but they just aren’t exciting enough to hold my attention now. I love the open world concept and running into Pokémon as I travel across the maps. I always wondered why Pokemon didn’t attack people and now they do! I honestly thought I grew out of video games but this game has me staying up way too late each night because I don’t want to put it down. I was surprised the weekend the game released it sold out of every store around me so I had to order it from the site.

    Most fun Pokemon game I've played since I was a kid. It really made me feel like I was a young again and exploring a new world. The only downside is this game is not truly an open world experience but its close enough to to it to be enjoyed as one. The catching system in this game has been revamped. You no longer have to battle a pokemon to catch it. You can simply sneak up on one out in the wild and throw a pokeball at it. This game is all about catching them all so if you're up to the challenge this game is for you.

    Many fans have been frustrated about the direction of Game Freak, but this is the best thing they've done game wise in a long time.

    Honestly, I'm having so much fun with this game. I'm enjoying it so much more than I did Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Sword. Although the visuals are lacking (compared to other open world games like BOTW or Xenoblade Chronicles), the gameplay more than makes up for it. I also really like how Pokedex research tasks require you to fulfill certain requirements rather than just catching the Pokémon and being done with it. All in all, it's a great change compared to the usual Pokémon formula and I am thoroughly enjoying it :D
