Massively underwhelming. Not that you can expect much from a Pokemon game, but to make a game so poorly is in its own way impressive. About the only things I can say I actually enjoy, is the openness of the world (which also has drawbacks for this style of game mind you) and the array of Pokemon from previous generations. Outside of that it has all of the worst parts of sword and shield, without even the few good things s/s had going for it. With luck they'll stabilize the game enough to not look and feel so cheap without making us pay an arm and a leg for the update. As the game stands I don't recommend buying it, it's not worth it.
