Not worth $79.99 CAD at all. This game feels like no true effort was put into it. It's not optimized at all, the open world concept is a lie due to areas having particular level scaling and exploration abilities being purposefully locked behind gates that you must walk through in a linear fashion. It falls short in many ways compared to Legends Arceus as well, which is baffling because you'd expect the same quality or better from a newer game. I noticed GameFreak's decline into mediocrity early on; having been a fan for so long, but the signs went from subtle to glaring and it hurts. The franchise's best game wasn't even made by GameFreak, and if they can't handle producing quality games any longer they should pass the torch back to Genius Sonority or just take their time to release something worth while.
