    Good idea for a game but horrible execution. Game is just boring for the most part and story make no sense.

    Genuinely really enjoyed this game.
    I love the concept of Pokemon. But the games always felt a bit too restrictive with how you could move & how you would get pokemon! The whole sneaking up on Pokémon is interesting! And then being wary/aggressive to humans - makes sense to me! I love being able to explore this much!

    I'm currently almost finished with my Pokédex and research - but, even though I've already had so much fun with the game - i'm not worried about losing interest. Because the reward for completing the Pokédex & research - the shiny charm will only make me more eager to play & hunt down some shines (even though the game has already been quite generous with them even without it!).
    Though - the biggest thing I love about this game, is that you don't have to have 2 versions of it yourself/have to trade with anyone - you can complete the whole Pokédex with your own single copy! Since there is only one version of the game!    … Expand

    Pokemon Legends Arceus is a fresh take for a series that had been in dire need of one. It does almost everything differently and succeeds in almost everything it tries to do.

    Excellent game, with mobility with the rides, battles with movement in the attacks, bigger map to explore, capture with the pokeball with the option of not entering the battle. More challenging bosses than 1st to 8th gen games. Little fps drop compared to Sword and Shield. Best Pokemon game since Heartgold and Soulsilver also Sun and Moon.

    Now this is a Pokémon game! Just picked this up a week ago instead of Scarlet and Violet due to their graphical and performance problems. I am happy I did, this is one of the best Pokémon games I have ever played! It has been hard to put down. How did they go from this well polished game to Scarlet and Violet that barely runs and looks like garbage? What a downgrade!

How did they go from this well polished game to Scarlet and Violet that barely runs and looks like garbage? What a downgrade!

    It is not a perfect game, but it sure is fun. I love that you can see the Pokémon in the overworld and can battle right there; it makes the gameplay very fluid. I like that when traveling around your human character can be attacked by Pokémon and takes damage as it makes it feel more realistic (these are supposed to be wild animals after all). It also has one of the better stories in the Pokémon series; in fact, it might be my personal favorite. I actually remember the characters' names and their motives in this one! It is fun to do the side-quests to meet new people, Pokémon, and learn more about the game lore. Few of the side-quests are too time consuming and didn't complete them but that is my only real complaint about the game. I did think the purple shadow textures look off, but it is not that big of a deal, it just shows the skill and education limits of the game designers more than anything. I really like the pasture your Pokémon are kept in. It is neat to walk by it and see some of the different ones you have collected. I also like the Feudal Japan style, it really works well. And I have to say, the amount of clothing and hair options is the best I think I have ever seen in Pokémon.

    This game has a couple flaws but no game is perfect and the good more than outweighs the bad. It is like the game designers actually tried to make something fans of Pokémon would love instead of a soulless cash-grab like Scarlet and Violet.

    Seriously, skip Scarlet and Violet, vote with your wallet and pick this game up. It is pretty much what a Pokémon game should be.    … Expand

    Un gioco gradevole che porta una ventata di aria fresca al brand ma con un comparto tecnico non all'altezza. Musiche e ambientazioni molto suggestive, il ribilanciamento dei livelli è stato molto gradito in quando riesce a dare al gioco una certa difficoltà che nei titoli main line manca da tempo. Un peccato per la grafica, meritava di più.

    Las batallas con los jefes no son satisfactorias y suponen baches en la experiencia.

    -Catching Anything that Swims Or Teleports Is a Pain

    This is the best Pokemon game since the N64 Stadium titles and a huge step forward for this franchise. Plenty of room for improvement such as better animations, cleaner visuals and more gameplay mechanics with less grinding would make the sequel to Legends Arceus a contender for GOTY.

This game still has its flaws and probably the most noticeable flaw is the graphics. Now I know that graphics aren't everything but gamefreak seem to not even bother making textures look nice and this in result makes the game look embarrassingly bad. The battle system has had a noticeable change with how you can move the camera around and actually move around yourself which is a nice refresh on how battles work.

    The story is alright enough but don't expect anything groundbreaking to keep you on your toes.

    Gameplay is really where it's at here as you spend a lot of your time roaming around catching Pokémon and filling out your Pokédex. The catching in this game is so good as your able to throw pokeballs at Pokémon without going into battle.

    Music is great as always with Pokémon games.

    Alpha Pokémon are a nice touch and add a nice difficulty spike as most of this game is really easy. NPC's are trash nothing more needs to be said about them.

    All in all a nice refresh for the Pokémon franchise but certainly not a masterpiece.    … Expand

    A fantastic game, with addictive mechanics. Honestly, I was surprised by the difficulty and story of the game, and I'm very satisfied with it. I hope that future Pokemon games will have many elements of this game, because I think this is the direction that The Pokemon Company should take. Also, I hope that with future games they can improve the technical aspect, as that would be a big plus.

Top it off with some of the series best starters returning to be your starting pokemon in this game (Who were also my three favorite starters of all time, so I'm a bit biased here), and the game is fun enough to get a recommendation for anyone that has a switch.    … Expand

    People seems like they need to lick every Pokemon game. This one is a flop. Story is boring, open zone is copy paste, only one town and bugs and glitch everywhere. It is so slow it made me sell it immediately. Graphic is the worst part.

    i can't stress enough that this game has potential, but it barely feels like pokemon. i dont even look at what pokemon im using because the battles are all 1hkos that last 2 seconds, and this plus the extremely broken jet balls made it far too easy to get to max level very fast. critics are lying, fans who say it's good are either highly impressionable or have not made it far enough into the game to see how much of a leaky bucket the mid to late game experience is. also, almost all of the new pokemon variants appear to be trash in combat and many of them have very underwhelming design and backstory.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its very refreshing to see a new direction to the franchise, i love the open zone and the catching mechanic. The concept of every character being an ancestor to characters from other games was a cool touch and allowed for cool easter eggs. Love the side missions, some of them being very interesting, and the fact that you can leave pokemon on the base that are then standing there makes it fell like your base is very unique to your pokemon likings.
    The fighting mechanic was also a great change, which made it very fun and suprisingly challenging sometimes, the levels of the pokemon dont matter as much as previous games, where pokemon 30 level below you can easily one-shot you.
    My biggest gripe whit the game is the fact that both shaymin and darkray are locked behind buying sword or shield and diamond or pearl remake respectivly, which makes it so you cant actually get arceus (the pokemon whos name is on the title )unless you buy both those games or play pokemon go until they show up.
    Finally the Volo fight was one of the most awesome boss fights i ever played, from the new version of Cinthyas theme, to the Cinthyas pokemon team, the giratina fight and origin form, and 6v8 concept, all of it was amazing.    … Expand

    That being said, the fun core gameplay is presented in a horrendous low effort package of terrible environment work, awful lighting, hideously blurry and often muddy textures.

    Pokemon Legends Arceus looks worse than PS2 games from 2004. While graphics don't make or break a game, it is hard to enjoy playing a game when it's hard to look at it. At it's core I don't even mind if a game doesn't look great. My favourite game of all time is a Gamecube port of a Dreamcast game. But Pokemon Legends Arceus, a triple A release from a studio like Nintendo being priced upwards of $90 in some regions, has no right looking and running as poorly as it does. It reeks of a low effort game rushed through to release.

    Some people will argue that it only looks bad because it is on the Switch. This is simply untrue. Beautiful games exist on the Switch. Just look at games like New Pokemon Snap, Breath of the Wild (the game this game tries to emulate), Monster Hunter Rise, Splatoon 3 and more.

    The Nintendo Switch's is not to blame for PLA looking and running as bad as it does.

    This is the best Pokémon game I've played since Black/White, and it's on my top 3 ever from this franchise. On the positive side (which I have a lot to say, but I'll keep it short), I'd like to mention the super fast load times of each area, the attention to detail when it comes to Pokémon animation on the world-map, and also the animation on battles. The quick battles and QOL improvements it has over the main games is freaking awesome - i can't see myself going back to a traditional Pokémon game ever again. The battle system is also awesome!

    Now, let's talk about the bad things - not to say the game is bad, but we desperately need improvements: WE NEED VOICES! I was so frustrated at some point about the story that I would just smash my A button non-stop to stop the super-duper-boring-long dialogues that would never end, without any voice acting or sounds on the background. It's just so lacking and annoying at some point, you start to HATE every interruption to tell you the story of the game. I just wanted to play for the game-play, because this part of the game was so boring after 20h of playtime. That said, I'd expect a better storyline on the upcoming games, being based on this same game-play system. It has just so much potential, we shouldn't just expect the foolish "I'm a kid alone and will find the legendary/confront Rocket teams out there for no reason" plot.

    No es una obra maestra, hay juegos como Ratchet & Clank (2002) que son mejor en cuanto a rendimiento, hay juegos de mundo abierto mejores (The legend of zelda breath of the wild), hay juegos con mejor historia. Pero a pesar de tener sus defectos, es un gran paso hacia adelante en la saga y un gran cambio a mejor después de lo decepcionante que resultó ser los remakes de 4a generación.

    una porquería jugablemente, visualmente, narrativamente. El mundo está vacio y muerto, parece un apocalipsis, esta lleno de bugs, sus graficos son lamentables y el gameplay es aburrido. se nota que no le han puesto cariño ni empeño, hasta Pokemon espada y escudo (que tambien apestan) son mejores que esta cosa. no lo compren bajo ningún concepto. terrible

    Pokémon Arceus is a boring fetch quest game with grind mechanics that you can find in almost every mmo up to date. The uninteresting story and lifeless NPC's adds even more dullness to the game. The graphics also suck.

    Exceedingly mediocre linear "fake open world" game. They copied so many great games and failed to deliver even a passable copy of any of them. There's some fun to be had here, but it's a completely skippable game.

    Bought for the kids who are obsessed with pokemon and they both moved on to other games after a few hours of game time. There simply isn't all that much value here.

    First Pokémon game I've played properly since gen 1, 2 and 3. Some good and bad things.

    It's something different than usual. As a long-term pokémon can I really liked the new open-world setting and the idea of going back to the roots of catching and research. Being a complete opposite of the others game in the franchise has its ups and downs. I certainly missed the gym battles even tho I also kinda hated them in previous titles. Nonetheless they gave some feelings of success.It's something different than usual.

For me that'd be a perfect combination.… Expand

    Definitely not a bad game. It handles its mechanics perfectly, and as long as it doesn't try to talk at you, you'll enjoy it. It's the first step on the road to new games with Pokémon on the cover, and the good sales could be the main reason to continue similar work and experimentation. [Issue#317]

    Acreus came out just a few months after Diamond & Pearl remake. Isn’t that too soon? Actually, no. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the most innovative, revolutionary, and maybe simply the best Pokémon game of the last decade. [Issue#259, p.48]

    This really does feel like a big step forward for a series that famously plays things safe, and I'm excited to see where the franchise will go next! [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 72]
