Loved the game in the beginning, the combat, the action, everything! But the absolute mass of bugs that are unfixed, and apparently never will be are not worth it for me. The minimap, and main map are useful when they work, 30% of the time, however, if you finish a side mission and plan on starting another, good luck. You will be redirected to your previously completed mission, or have to leave the game completely to get the mission to track. The map doesn’t have any directional markers and expects you to know where you are at all times. The map is just useless. I just recently encountered a game breaking bug at “Sanctuary” after 30 hours of gameplay. I’m unable to continue and have no other side missions. I was told by support that I’d have to start over. Basically, play the game for double the time because we couldn’t fix our mess up. Naw. Long story short: Fun game if you can get it for free and have low expectations of actually finishing the game, due to map fuckups, and game breaking bugs that were there at launch they never planned on fixing. Get it on PS+ or Xbox game pass, DO NOT PAY FOR THIS GAME, ITS BEEN THREE YEARS AND THEY AREN'T ADDING ANY NEW UPDATES.

As a Pokémon player/collector since the beginning, I’m disappointed. This game is the most boring, technically underwhelming game I’ve played in a while. If you are looking for vast expanses of uninteresting recycled terrain with WAY too many Pokémon/items to fill them and nothing else to see/do, this game is for you. The map is terrible, the story is boring, I’m nearly 30 hours in and nearly falling asleep every time I play. The absolutely mindless story is numbing. Where to go or what to do next according to level are only discoverable by asking a Pokémon center. The icons on the map aren’t described, the level needed for each area is a surprise…maybe I’m just aging, but for a series with almost as much life experience as me, I expected something new, and exciting. This feels like a poorly thought out, wanna be MMORPG with little to no actual content other than swarms of the same Pokémon. Save your money until this is fixed or something is changed. I used to binge the old games, but even putting in a few hours at a time in this game is a laborsome task.
