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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 IGN calls it a series best and GS says it’s the best new generation in years. This will be serious fun to play with my kids once we finish Let’s Go Pikachu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Mother Fucker 26 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 After the success of Pokemon Go 4 years ago. How come every Pokemon game hasn't been available across multiple platforms for Nintendo and iOS/Android? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
