We've had plenty of different Pokémon games, from the standard RPGs to Pokémon Snap or the fan-favourite Pokémon Stadium. However, we've never seen a Pokémon game like Pokémon Legends: Arceus before.
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.
