    Nice change of pace for the series, incredibly addicting but there are way more bugs than there should be for such a big title. Hopefully the patches help.

    This is genuinely such an upgrade to the pomemon journey, unfortunately it is so buggy and badly optimized it hinders almost every second of the game. Why Nintendo and Gamefreak did not delay this game is beyond me but this is why uou do it! This game should have been 5/5 but with all the software issues i just cant give it to it. I almost went with 3/5 but its such a fun game. Hopefully nintendo gets the updates out that this game drastically needs

    The story is actually good, but the game suffers from very bad performance such as Frame drops, Freezing, and crashes. Some Ignorant people say "The Switch's hardware isn't strong enough." Which isn't the case at all, the game can be optimized but it seems like GameFreak will not fix the game so instead they make charge us a extra 40+ dollars for DLC on a game that runs worse.

    It's bones is a really good and fun game. Unfortunately it feels rushed with low resolutions, sputtering, and not very astetically pleasing. With that said, i enjoy it very much.

    Its been fun with some of the changes to the game. The open world aspect, the multiple story paths. However this game just performs SO poorly, its honestly inexcusable. There is no reason a company that makes millions off these games, and is charging AAA title prices for this game, should be releasing a game that runs this bad. If this was any other franchise people would be ready to flame this company to bits, similar to cyberpunk and currently callisto protocol. Unfortunately people look at Pokémon through rosé tinted glasses, and thats why we will never get a proper pokemon game we deserve

    I love rhe game but the biggest issue is performace. It lags a tom. Sometimes it even lags and the game freezes for 2 whole seconds.. very sad. It feels like a step back from Legends Arceus-A beautiful game. But it’s a solid game if they can fix that.

    REALLY AMAZING GAME, a few minor graphical errors here and there but overall good concept to the series, it was very interesting to see them take a leap from 2d to 3d to a whole new open world pokémon game, very good game for newcomers in the series

    I really enjoyed the open world set-up where you were free to complete the story line in no specific order. Sure the game has a less than optimal frame rate, and the game force quits at times.. but I enjoy the game play.
