>>41334183>Story I agree I liked the more simplistic take and the rivals were surprisingly not bad this time around. would bump it up to a 7
>MusicThis is where we disagree, I feel like the only really good songs were the rival songs, gym battle but was ruined when the weird chasing came in, the raid battle song, and some of the routes. One of the less memorable soundtracks imo 6/10
>AtmosphereThis is like a 9/10 for me. The interaction with pokemon with pokemon camp and wild area are my favorite things that have been put in a pokemon game. Galar is also very unique compared to other regions.
>GraphicsWhile they are better than every other gen, still feel like they dropped the ball a little bit. It isn't as bad as the shitposters make it out to be but some things like the no backgrounds indoors and the framerate issues are pretty annoying at times. Animations are also inconsistent but not bad overall. 5/10
Would definitely rate this game at around 7.5-8 out of 10. Max raid battles probably bump it up to that 8 but I have to spend more time with it.
