Sorry if this is redundant, I didn’t see another thread focused on reactions to the game itself (just the Pokemon-ripoff news cycle).

I tried it on GamePass thinking, why not - might as well see how overhyped it is. And unexpectedly, I put in about 8 hours this weekend.

Despite some rough edges and some very clear inspiration, I am actually enjoying it. It has a very satisfying gameplay feedback loop and is an overdue (if involuntary) “modernization” of the basic monster-collector format.

    Hosted a multiplayer world and didn’t have any serious issues, but according to everyone else playing with me it was laggy as shit (and I’m kown for having the best internet in my group)

    Despite trying I never got Into pokemon as a kid so my judgment isn’t worth much in that regard, but it’s still very much an unfinished game, as everyone buying it should know in advance.

    It was fun but I probably never would have bought it without friends to play it with, and I probably won’t launch it again until it’s far more complete.
