Comfy region, likeable characters, decent plot. Cutscene (or forced dialogue if you prefer) frequency is atrocious, but not always terrible. Minigames are a nice but get stale pretty quickly. Totems are pretty epic and playing with my bro in Refresh after an important battle is kino. Story is a step down emotionally from SM but the Necrozma story is a step up in terms of epic action climax.
Overall, flawed but fun.
