Explorers in a Dangerous Time and Space.
I am left feeling torn about Pokémon Legends: Arceus. On the one hand, its revamped systems are utterly revolutionary to the franchise. It sheds both stale battle mechanics and an outdated progression system that sorely needed a shake-up, and the new replacements are incredibly fun even after hours of repetition. But while Legends: Arceus is the closest Pokémon has ever been to reflecting the monster catching and battling as I always imagined them in my head as a child, its otherwise exciting attempt at a genre-shift is set in a disappointingly empty, ugly, and at times tedious world. While I'm thrilled by this new gameplay direction, I wish the same care and attention was put into every aspect of the adventure. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the best it’s ever felt to catch and collect Pokémon, but that level of ambition and brilliance deserved a better house to live in.
