    Game is underwhelming. After 2 days of grind, I see same 5 monsters whole day, I run around one small area because there's 5% of chance to find a rare monster... Then you get it and the stats are poor, 3h wasted, because it's not even fun, it's boring. The lack of imagination in the game is sad, you gather bunch of quests but you can complete them only much further along the game, nothingGame is underwhelming.

The lack of imagination in the game is sad, you gather bunch of quests but you can complete them only much further along the game, nothing in the meantime. Nothing out of the box for this game, no new systems of gathering or creating new items or gear, knowing there will be microtransactions in game I already paid good money for is also quite sad. How hard would it be to drop some items from monsters you fight to allow you do some kind of crafting or cooking or ANYTHING? The graphics are decent and it's a game-alike to pokemon, however, game feels too basic and I cannot stress this enough - BORING Expand

    No... just, no. This game is the product of a community of gamers who THINK they know what they want, when in reality they don't. You think Pokemon is bad with their "DLC paywall"? Just wait until this game gets hit with lovely microtransactions. Also, you should see whats hidden behind their paid tiers for Kickstarter. Absolute travesty. Please, do yourself a favor and save your money. IfNo... just, no. This game is the product of a community of gamers who THINK they know what they want, when in reality they don't.

    Just awful. The game is being made and touted to be a "Pokemon killer", and there's absolutely 0% chance that will happen, just like the 0 it gets today. Don't call it an MMO either just because there is a bunch of people running around. This game shows that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Enjoy your one month of fame.

    You will never be able to beat Sword and shield. Theyre the best games ever. Temtem is a joke and cannot obtain greatness since it wants to live in the shadow of pokemon.

    Battlepasses have no place in a full price game. Battlepasses have no place in a full price game.

    Bad and bland. The game lacks deepth in all aspects of its gameplay. The graphics are mediocre - to put it in positive words. You can see how little effort and love went into its creation. I was looking forward to this game for a long time, but I am just sad seeing the product this game became.

    If you’re a Pokémon fan you need to pick this one up, even if you’re not the casual laid back play is enjoyable for creature hunters of all levels!

    Crema's ambitious MMO has clear ideas and manages to engage without too much difficulty.

    Temtem is a fantastic game when you look at its story and gameplay mechanics alone. However, when you see the variety of activities it has to offer and the way its economy is structured, it will make you second-guess your stay after the main story campaign is done and over with.
