This game is literally hot garbage, it needed more time to really be flushed out. The game is barebone and experimental at best. Concept wise, it could've been the gem pokemon fans wanted. Execution wise, it was a lazy attempt to push out a proof of concept that was more frustrating, unfun, and boring. You will spend majority of your gameplay repeating the same task to level up field pages on specific pokemon to progress. All which, if you do only the main story, maybe is 3 hours total. The gameplay is so shallow that the 1 time you get a puzzle, the developers gives you the answer before you even attempt it. The only good parts are the noble fights. My biggest gripe is controls. You will muscle memory button schemes to quickly mount/unmount/throw pokeball or pokemon/rinse repeat. As you unlock more mounts they'll be placed in between what you already have, messing up your controls. No options to re-arrange, no way to lessen the strain of the grind on your wrist or hands. The game is just terrible. Wish they spent more time actually trying to make the game better. Want to see proof of how lazy they were? The shaders are so bad with water and cave you see graphical glitches everywhere. The water physics are messed up because of their lighting. It's just a hot festering mess of a game
