Pokemon Legends: Arceus captures the magic of the Pokemon world in a new trailer that showcases the game's open-world setting--and the terror of Pokemon going out of control.
NE: "We take a look at and compare Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Pokemon Legends: Arceus - two of the most well-received Pokemon games in recent years."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While a few genres in 2022 were somewhat lacking, RPG was the opposite; in fact, two of our finalists show last year’s impressive spread of reputable releases. Beyond their consistency, they also impressed with their quality, and shared this special stat with the Best Puzzle Game of 2022 award: eight entries made it past the preliminary round’s eligibility threshold. All except one of them were made in Japan, and that exception is still emulating the spirit of SNES JRPGs. Finally, together they hold the highest average VGChartz review score of any shortlist we’ve done to date."
Star ocean 6. I'm toward the end and man it's a dope ass game.
I completely disagree with the article.
That reached the prelim round, but not enough for the shortlist. Other than that, this has to be 2022's strongest list going by critical acclaim.
Pokemon has been successful in 2022, but has taken steps back along with steps forward.
Despite the game having some of the best mechanics in a Pokemon game to date, it i so annoyingly broken. It really is hampering any fun I'm having while playing. The framerate is terrible. Collision detection, wall barriers and terrain are so glitchy. This game is really a 6/10 at best because of how bad it runs.
Looks great, maybe more what people have been asking for.
This is what I've always envisioned Pokémon to be as. Where the Pokémon can actually attack the trainer and you need Pokémon to protect you. I'm super happy they are implementing that and th open world aspect is a nice touch.
Still looks unimpressive to me, but that's all I'll say on it. I'll wait for when people get their hands on it and I read some impressions on it maybe I'll be proven wrong. I hope I am too cause I still want to play some Pokemon
I like how it looks/plays! My only gripe is this is supposed to be set way in the past right? The Villages almost look very old feudal era (maybe it's just that town?) Yet the advanced tech of a pokeball is still around. Not a huge gripe but just something I noticed.
I dunno... I like some aspects of it, but I just really don't like the art style of the Pokemon themselves. The look very bland with the way this game renders them. And it has some moments of poor animation as well. Time will tell, I suppose. But at least this is a great step in the right direction for this series. Hopefully this is the start of some big changes to the series because it really needs it.
