    This game is great. It’s a completely faithful update to the original that gives more variety to the players. The original had, I believe, seven courses. This one has more than three times that with a variety of biomes and Pokémon to find.

It never purported itself to be anything more than a railshooter where you take pics of Pokémon. A lot of the negative reviews seem to be based more on anger over the handling of the main series titles. Whatever. All the Pokémon aren’t in this game and complaining about that won’t get more of them added to Galar either. TL; DR: Realistically, this game is probably a 7.5 or 8. Lots of fun and very charming interactions with Pokémon. It may have the best graphics of any Pokémon game. The biggest flaw is its playtime is under ten hours, but the replay value really makes up for that… Expand

    Repetitive, boring and shockingly overpriced. I really wish I bought a hard copy, rather than digital, so I could have sold it. My most regrettable Switch title purchase.

    Exactly what you would expect if you played the original. Great animation and quality. Getting the 2 analog sticks confused is my only hang up.

    The game's fine, if you knew what you were getting into from the first game. It's a fairly arcadey experience, with on rails courses that you can do over and over again, learning new things as you go.

    The graphics look nice, which is important for the kind of game it is. Some of the textures are a let down, but overall not noticeable unless you look at them too long, though a few are readily apparent in photographs, like the texture used for the sawdust pile surrounding Bidoof when its poking its head out of the dam.

    Grinding up research levels can be a little frustrating, so it's better to take this game in small doses and play it on your downtime, not try to rush through it all at once.

    Some of the special behaviors seem arbitrary and unintuitive, and I still haven't figured out how to do tasks the game's requests ask for because nothing I try seems to work.

    But if you go in to this knowing what the old game was like, and how it's now apparently a series, then you're not going to be disappointed.

    If you go in thinking Bandai Namco is going to shoot for the moon on the first approach to an old series in quite some time, then you are sorely mistaken.    … Expand

    I absolutely LOVE New Pokémon Snap! Though I've always been a huge fan of the original (and I was waiting for a sequel for a long time), I never expected it to be this good. My first concern was always going to be the amount of content, but I can tell you: there's a lot of Pokémon and stages to explore! So many in fact, that I think you'll be busy for dozens of hours to see them all.I absolutely LOVE New Pokémon Snap! Though I've always been a huge fan of the original (and I was waiting for a sequel for a long time), I never expected it to be this good. My first concern was always going to be the amount of content, but I can tell you: there's a lot of Pokémon and stages to explore! So many in fact, that I think you'll be busy for dozens of hours to see them all.

    Now, as simple as the story and the concept of this game is (you just go through environments to take photo's of Pokémon to get them graded) there's actually a whole lot of complexity in triggering all the behaviors. Never before were Pokémon presented to us with so much detail, and the amount of things they can do is very impressive. And just when you think you've seen everything a Pokémon can do, they do something new and exciting again. The sense of discovery in this game is huge.

    To fill your 'photodex' you'll need to snap each Pokémon in four different poses/moods. These behaviors are ranked from 1-4 stars, and it's a different puzzle to get to each individual star rank of that Pokémon. You can see it as an NPC with four different quests/puzzles to complete. The in game request board also gives you tips on how to unlock the most difficult ones. With over 200 Pokémon, there's hours upon hours of hunting and puzzle solving to do. You won't be starved for content at all.

    Each of the beautifully designed levels is also upgradable. By doing the courses, you earn XP that changes the course. New Pokémon will appear, but you'll also unlock branching paths and 'illumina orbs' for that island/area. The latter can be used to make Pokémon glow, which helps you create beautiful night-time photographs. With more than 20 courses and three skills levels per course to complete, you'll have a lot of ground to cover.

    Look, this game is really not for the min/maxing battle-savvy type player that needs constant action in their games, so judging it by those standards is incredibly unfair. This game is for those of us who enjoy chill and laidback experiences like Animal Crossing and Pikmin. If you are a long time Pokémon fan like I am, and love taking pictures of your favorite monsters in beautiful environments (or just someone who loves a good puzzle) this game is for you. Buy this and you won't regret it.    … Expand

    Don’t know why people are hating on this game. The original came out in 1999, it was intended for children. It’s 2021, it’s made for children. Sorry the mechanics aren’t perfect for you 30 year olds. Bunch of salty people. Anyways the game is fun! Lots of Pokémon with pretty graphics. Great sense of nostalgia.

    After the dissapointment I felt with Sword/Shield this game reinvigorates my love for Pokémon again.

    A few nitpicks: Menu's can take some time to navigate, you aren't able to quickly change the current course (you CAN quickly retry it though) the flute could use some more (or better) tunes because it gets annoying. They could have thought of some more creative new items to interact with. If you loved Snap you'll love this more!    … Expand

    Apparently people didn't understand the concept. It's SNAPping pictures of POKEMON. It wasn't advertised as anything else, and it delivers on what it advertised. If y'all don't like the concept, that's your problem. It's a visually beautiful game, true to the original with new twists.

The only let downs for me are music, that is kinda bland, and the fact you can't register a photo per rating (1/2/3/4 stars) of each Pokémon everytime you finish a course, slowing down the progress a lot. It's a solid game, probably not worth U$60,00, but U$40,00 would be a honest price. It's obvious it's a niched game and I wouldn't recommend to anyone. You will like the game if you like the idea of photographing Pokémon (forget your nostalgia, or you will be disappointed) and like the Pokémon lore, since it is accurate with it.… Expand

Animation was a big complaint about Sword and Shield, and I'm hoping some of the animation team here will move on to Legends Aeceus. Good job, Bandai Namco!

I hope it evolves further and further in future editions, but I love how true the game mechanic has stayed to the N64 version. My only concern/ criticism goes to the fact that I had to retake many shots just to complete the side-quests instead of the AI figuring out that I had those shots already. Besides that, pure enjoyment and really addicted all the way to complete the Photodex. For the fans, this is a no brainer. Pokémon the happiest and purest you’ve ever had!… Expand

    I will stay simple with this one. New Pokemon Snap is a game made for the fans of the old game and Pokemon. It doesn't try to revolutionize and doesn't try to appeal to a completely new audience.

    The gameplay more or less is the same as it was before. If you didn't like the old game you also will not like this one. It's a slow and relaxing game. There is no real challenge besides finding (or creating) the perfect opportunity for good pictures.

    However, the game has a much larger scale than the predecessor. There are more Pokemon to find. Each Pokemon can show different behavior patterns divided into 4 categories. And to complete them you need to shot photos for each category. Every stage can level up. Allowing you to find new Pokemon and other behavior patterns. And there is a mission system that asks you to make "special picture". Some of this pictures can be hard to find. As they only give you hints on what to expect. They also improved the visuals a lot. It's looks quite beautiful.

People are complaining that all you do is take photographs of pokemon, that you can't battle and they want it to be a traditional RPG.....if that's what you want then buy a traditional Rpg, or one of the many many many pokemon games that all have the exact same format.

    This is a brilliant game, it is something different in the world of pokemon, a creative and relaxing experience, and by far the best looking pokemon game that has been made to date. The concept is that you travel to different locations as a ecological researcher, and take pictures or pokemon in their natural habitat. The more you play each level the pokemon start to trust you and more appear in different scenarios. There is a lot of depth as you have to activate certain sequences to entice specific pokemon to appear. It's very relaxing and pleasurable, and gets your creative juices flowing try to catch great snaps of the cute little critters. It is a satisfying challenge trying to beat your previously rated photographs, and the fact you can only submit one photograph of a pokemon breed per run is not a bad thing (which what people have been complaining about) it creates an element of challenge and replayability.

    If this doesn't sound the type of things you would enjoy then fair enough, but that doesn't mean to say it is a poor game, far from it. This is a stunning, well put together, unique and enjoyable game.    … Expand

I've played it after work the last few nights and it's a great way to relax after a long day. People who are saying it's only 6 hours are probably trying to speed their way through when this is definitely a game meant to be taken nice and slow to enjoy the ride.
    Why a 10/10? Because it's everything it promises to be. It's similar to the classic snap, with new features and gorgeous graphics.    … Expand

    The people who rate this game bad because they thought it is like a full pokemon game should watch some footage in the first place. this game was intended as a very upscaled and to this day adapted pokemon snap.

    I love this game. Me and my husband have been playing hours everyday. Getting our family into it too. All sitting around the big screen while someone tries to get the perfect shot. I have never had so much fun with a Pokemon game.

    I want to peacefully watch Pokemon walk around and be animals, because that's what they are. It is a reminder to love nature, to be around it but trying not to disturb it too much. This game is wonderful and I will certainly buy more if they ever add DLC. I hope that they do.    … Expand

    Muy buen juego, es mucho mejor de lo que esperaba, no jugué en su momento el Pokémon snap y tenía miedo que este juego solo fuera para quienes tenían nostalgia por aquel pero de verdad me pareció muy entretenido y bueno, llevo 5 horas de juego pero pronto serán más.

    Does not have puzzle elements and secrets like the original, very lazy directing

    Very much the same game as the 64 original. Updated graphics. Larger and more worlds. Much more Pokémon. A few new systems sprinkled in. Would have liked to have seen more innovation. However having a lot of fun playing the game.

    Must have for Pokemon fans. But still recommended as a casual game for others (although maybe wait until on sale)

    In a nutshell: as a researcher, you travel to various places, interact with wild Pokémon and take photos to document their behavior. This simple concept only works thanks to the Pokémon, but it doesn’t have to be a drawback, because the game shows the world of pocket monsters more realistically and vividly than any title before it.

    New Pokémon Snap looks beautiful and is packed full of exciting Pokémon, but the increased complexity has brought the game to a grinding halt. [Issue #4, p.51]

    New Pokémon Snap isn't totally perfect, but it is a lovingly, intelligently updated take on a now 22-year-old original that only came to life because it was imbued with Mr. Iwata's magic. I know seeing this sequel would have made him smile. [Issue #53 – July/August 2021, p. 69]
