Pokémon Scarlet (Nintendo Switch)

My son was happy with this game. He has had lots of fun on it.

Great game, takes a little getting used to because the rigidity is gone and that's always something I've enjoyed about the Pokemon series but this let's you approach anyone at any time. I didn't notice any level scaling and the online features are a little annoying in how they work, I think you need real life friends for it to work properly, you can't just explore with random, which is a shame. But the game itself is solid. The DLC is worth a go too, though doesn't add a great deal of excitement. Still though done a few play throughs and enjoyed each time.

I bought Violet when the game released, and then bought Scarlet after I completed it. It has also finally got my husband to play a Pokémon game for more than an hour too! It’s glitchy, but it’s such a fun game and has been the first Pokémon game I’ve enjoyed a lot since X and Y.

Grandson loved it

First and foremost the "story" play-through of this game is fantastic. Game Freak have put so much content into this new release, it's a really absorbing experience in the land of Paldea. Bugs have been well documented and although you see quite amateurish visual glitches all the time (weird rendering of the environment, low frame rates), it doesn't affect you if you are playing the game "normally". I don't do any raids in online mode so any bugs in that aspect of the game haven't affected me. My biggest criticism is that Game Freak have not made it clear what the best path through the game is - you have to refer to internet articles to work out where to go next. Because it is "open world" (although some parts of the map are hard to get to quickly), you often come across challenges that are well above your level - or conversely can end up at a challenge that is a long way below your level! It can be a bit frustrating to lose heavily to one gym boss, and then defeat the next one easily. If there was a star rating on the map, or if the Pokemon Center suggestions of where to go next were based on difficulty instead of proximity, the game would be much easier to enjoy without having to get "spoilers" from the internet. Generally speaking I think there could be more in-game resources to explain sandwiches, evolution criteria and breeding but you don't need that info for a basic playthrough.

It's open world, it lets you roam every inch of the world after the first hour long tutorial. It's a fantastic journey. I'm 10 hours in and I can guarantee you will love it... if you can ignore the performance issues. The day one patch has helped, but some of the areas experience serious stuttering. It doesn't break me out of my zone and doesn't break the fourth wall for me but if you get annoyed with framerate skips, you might want to wait until they patch the strange performance issues. They only happen in large towns from my experience but it's really not acceptable for a game that costs full AAA prices. I still give this a 5/5 because it really is ambitious, large, wonderful and gets so many things right that it doesn't deserve a star getting docked for that ambition.

Pokémon Scarlet for the Nintendo Switch is an absolute gem for any Pokémon fan. The game features stunning graphics, immersive gameplay, and a captivating storyline that kept me hooked from start to finish. The new Pokémon designs are creative and charming, and the battle mechanics are both strategic and exhilarating. I appreciate the attention to detail in the game world, from the bustling cities to the serene landscapes. Whether you're a seasoned trainer or new to the Pokémon universe, Scarlet offers an unforgettable adventure that's well worth the journey. Highly recommend adding this game to your collection!
