>>50984376I enjoyed it, beat it once, and I legitimately see no reason to ever turn the game on again. Which, is okay I guess, a game doesn't have to have value after beating it to be considered "alright", but that's it, it will never be more than "alright" because that holds it back way too much. I can spend that same 60 dollars for hundreds of hours of replayable entertainment I'll be able to go back and have fun with again, years from now. I did enjoy the game, but in 2022 games that you never want to touch again after beating once just don't stack up. Comparatively speaking, even the first playthrough of Sword and Shield is absolutely fucking awful and unforgiveable, in that way, Legends Arceus was a fantastic step up. But, sword and shield has online play, and that alone can probably entertain you for about the length of time it takes to beat Arceus, or longer. Though, that game also costed an extra 50% of the asking price.
All in all, both are kind of mediocre when compared to good games that aren't pokemon.
