This game is very very cool. It's like the opposite of BDSP - Gamefreak actually tried something different, and even though its not perfectly polished and I wouldn't want every main-series game to go this direction, it works as a really cool new format for games in the franchise. I do wish that the areas of the region felt more unique, and arceus should absolutely hae more of a role before completing the dex, but overall this is very fun gameplay wise. The battle mechanics can be improved in future Legends games for more balanced gameplay, but as a sort of risk that they took with the series, I think this is great.
