Pokémon Legends: Z-A

"Better-than-expected real-time combat system provides genuine strategic depth. City setting and monotonous environments dampen the experience despite excellent gameplay. Strong mechanics cannot overco"

"One of the best Pokemon spin-offs. Build communities of Pokemon as equals with innovative habitat system."

"Contained city Pokemon adventure with addictive gameplay but significant technical shortcomings."

"Revolutionary real-time battle system replacing turn-based combat. May define franchise future."

"Improvement over Scarlet/Violet with better animations and charming writing. Smaller and more confined."

"Promising real-time combat shakes up stale formula but held back by dated visuals and single-city setting."

"SwitchUp review scored 70%. Decent with caveats."
