  • Abstract:  Ever since the monochromatic thrills of 1996's Pokémon Red and Blue, I've dreamed of embarking on a sprawling 3D Pokémon adventure. While 2019's Sword and Shield did their best to belatedly bring the series' love-worn formula in to the third dimension, a...

  • Creates a realistic Pokemon world, Best storytelling in the series to date, Gameplay experiments pay off
  • Performance doesn't match its open-world ambition, Research quests could be more observational
  • Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a refreshing take on the Pokemon formula, stripping back the game to focus on the titular creatures with such great success. It's just let down by the graphics...
