Is this game good or is it just being relentlessly hyped? I haven't seen much in terms of gameplay that leaves me feeling particularly excited.
Even the Penny Arcade review struck me as mid. Just filling the hole that Pokemania created with its own series of flops.
It's less janky Ark but with Pokemon and the boss battles of Valheim thrown in. How do you feel about using a Vulpix as a flame thrower or a Pachirisu sitting on your head while it fires a SMG?
I mean... meh?
I thought this might have some kind of story to it, or a clever city building/farming integration, but all I've really seen is Worms: Pokemon
The farming aspect is kind of satisfying because you have to get certain types to do specific jobs like fire types will smelt ore, grass types will plant seeds and water types water the plants and power structures that have water wheels. Still not gonna pretend that any of it is ground breaking but I'll probably fuck with it for a few weeks because I got a friend that's playing.

idk I watched one trailer and it looks like if you like open world survival bullshit like ARK or factory bullshit like satisfactory (but are fine with animal slaves) or whatever or you like pokemon then it'd be pretty fun
It's "Pokemon for adults", so it's hitting the nostalgia receptors of a lot of millenials that grew up playing Pokemon. So I guess if you fit into that category, you'll like the game.
It's far more like ark than it is Pokemon. It's a survival crafting game with a gimmick. That may sound like a mid review to you but the words "early access survival crafting game" release a small amount of the good chemicals in my brain without any further information
It’s good, and especially for the first week of early access from a small team.
