Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Legends: Z-A?

Got it on my V1 Switch thinking I would bounce right off. 12 hours of game later, I bought the full Switch 2 version, willing to play the tutorial again. Haven’t clicked with Pokemon since Y. Also I love the art style? Writing is pretty good. Music is incredible, I actually don’t mind it being stuck in my head so far lol. And the one location is so condensed, I love that too. Battling is the same, just immediate and snappy. Exactly what I’ve wanted in a Pokemon. Not the biggest fan of random encounters and slow battles. Great mix of action and strategy. Online battles are a huge draw to me. It’s a matter of preference. 8.5/10 for me so far

It’s gotta he Hades II for me. Can’t stop playing it. Greek mythology is my favorite, and the way they respect and build upon it is incredible. I get so excited when I see their new take on such ancient characters. The story, gameplay, art, music is better than the first imo, and I played the crap out of that one, too. I’m loving Silksong as well, but I’m surprised how much more I’ve been playing and enjoying Hades II. What a MONTH. 2 GOATS of the indie world

Lovely article. This is the first time I’ve gotten any console at launch. It’s been a joy, like being a kid on Christmas. I don’t understand all the hate for it. I don’t feel ripped off lol. Finally beat TOTK. Restarted BOTW on master mode. Playing my backlog and realizing I bounced off so many games because it felt half baked on switch 1; still wonderful, but not ideal.

Dark Moon was the first 3DS game I bought in 2013. I’ve played it multiple times. Haven’t finished the other two, so Dark Moon is easily my favorite. Not knowing anything else, I liked the mission structure. That being said, I am not paying full price for this. It looks amazing with 3D slider all the way up on my IPS 3DS.
