Overall SWSH felt more like a tech demo and the whole game felt undercooked...before I played them, I definitely had some ideas of what Galar might be, but in the end I'm happy to say they weren't the KANTOOOOOOOOfest like I remember Kalos being, the region has a pretty good sense of identity, but outside of that the game was just...like, nothing.
The characters have nice designs but nothing to latch onto outside if that. The region has some gorgeous spots to look at, but every single town is absolutely devoid of stuff in it. There is zero exploration on its routes and no optional areas I can think of. The game itself felt really short, the story was horrible, the legendaries felt almost totally disconnected from the rest of the game, blah blah blah I could go on.
In the end I don't even think SWSH is a game worth hating, it's so underwhelming and forgettable that it's so hard to believe people actually went to bat defending this game as hard as I remember people doing. SV and PLA do everything it tried to do so much better, but those games aren't great either, so I don't even want to consider SWSH a big stepping stone.
They're just bad, I dunno. Just low tier games, Pokemon or not. Music WAS really good though.
