    To be honest with you, this game is better than generations 7 and 8, but it's still pretty mid. Gameplay was short and easy-not really challenging. The only good part of this game was Arven's storyline.

    Nice open world. The removal of being able to just throw pokeballa without battle was a mistake. Overall still way better than dumpster Sword/Shield that was pawned off prior.

    Haven't played a Pokemon game since Pokemon Yellow on Gameboy Color. Going from that to Pokemon Scarlet is definitely a major move forward. Been playing for a couple weeks and definitely love the storylines. Looking forward to playing through it all.

    This is a great pokemon game in line with all the others. the only issue i saw with it was stability issues with occasional crashes (3 or 4 across 40 hrs) all the online features work well and keep exciting content being added to the game.

    The graphics are not actually good but now I have your attention. This is the most fun I have had since pokemon soul silver. Great game and bad performance but worth it all.

    Love pokemon but this game has performance issues. The gameplay is very fun like always and has a great endgame! The fps leaves something ti be desired though.

    It was a great game, fun and certainly a massive improvement over sword and shield in my opinion. It is a shame that it has so many performance issues though.

    Enjoyable game. Even though I bought this during the pre-release and played past release, glitches were not too bad. The gamr overall was fun to play through.

    Great game overall was a little laggy at first launch, but now it’s just all fun. If you love Pokémon you’ll love this game open world with classic game play.

    My 4th grader enjoys this game immensely. Designed much like all the other versions of this game. User friendly for the little ones who have never played this game before.

    Under all the various bugs, glitches, and performance issues... Scarlet and Violet are good games. I feel like I got my moneys worth of enjoyment out of it.

    Last Pokémon game I played was Ruby, so this definitely different to what I was used to but enjoyable. The story is short and not as challenging as previous titles but enjoyable new combat features and shiny hunting.
