A genuine reinvention of Pokemon with real-time capture mechanics and open-area exploration that finally modernizes the formula after decades. Strong gameplay is undermined by a soulless, uninspired story with poor dialogue.
Innovative Pokemon game with fresh mechanics and engaging new approach. Excellent adventure that revitalizes the series. 9/10.
An exhilaratingly new take on Pokemon with compulsive collecting mechanics and challenging battles, but held back by poor technical presentation, unclear battle systems, and underutilized Monster Hunter elements. Series' purest form or bare minimum—still undecided.
Fresh take on Pokemon formula with great atmosphere despite some graphical shortcomings.
Refreshing Pokémon reinvention with innovative capture and boss battles, held back by bland level design and repetitive structure.
Fresh take with fun mechanics and solid endgame; slow start and lifeless world.

“ZA successfully eliminates years of tedious design patterns through its real-time combat system and streamlined menus, making it far more respectful of player time than traditional Pokémon games. While imperfect, it represents a refreshing bold direction for the franchise.”

“The reviewer criticizes Pokémon Legends: Arceus for its terrible graphics, poor technical execution, and dated gameplay outside of the hunting mechanic, despite acknowledging that the Pokémon catching system is a genuine gameplay evolution after 25 years.”
