54212 432 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Sitting at 80 on Metacritic with mixed reviews but scoring high at most of the major outlets. 9.0 GameSpot 9.3 IGN 9.1 GamePro 8.8 GameInforer Eurogamer thinks it's "hollow" and didn't like it. USgamer thought it was too predictable. The main criticisms seem to be that there are almost no dungeons and the ones it does have are short, and the towns are empty Potemkin villages. https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/pokemon-sword/critic-reviews Link to post Share on other sites
