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.

    Not a Pokémon fan, so the trailer just looked like an asset flip game to me.

      You’re going to need a better eye for asset flips. It’s too easy to dilute the meaning of the term if you’re going to start including the likes of Palworld.

          Tristan Newcomb? I get all my gaming news from him. His Donkey Kong Country review is great.
