Pokémon Legenden: Arceus (Download) (Switch)

Endlich ein echtes RPG in der Welt der Pokémon? Die Macher wagen sich mit Pokémon-Legenden: Arceus auf neues Terrain. Wir zeigen, wie gut das gelingt.

Der einzige Punkt, der wirklich zu bemängeln war, ist die verwirrende Menüführung, ansonsten liefert Arceus alles, was sich eingefleischte Fans schon lange gewünscht haben: ein dynamisches und flüssig in die Welt integriertes Kampfsystem, spontan austauschbare Attacken, offene Areale zum Erkunden und viele weitere, sinnvolle Neuerungen.

While it’s true that Pokemon Legends: Arceus has some problems that do feel inexcusable in this day and age, there’s no doubt that the game is a milestone for the franchise.

Once Pokemon Legends: Arceus finds its stride, though, it's the most daring and inventive the series has been in years, breaking apart the staid core and creating something new and exciting from its pieces.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus charts an exciting new direction for the series, while still maintaining many of the core tenants that made Game Freak's franchise so beloved in the first place.

Pokémon Legends Arceus is a must-play game for fans of the franchise. Not only is it the very best Pokémon game yet, but it elegantly takes the formula and flips it on its head, creating a unique new challenge that fans will love. With the nods to the anime and Pokémon games abound, Arceus feels very much like a love letter from Game Freak.
