It's like if Undertale was more of a game - and I don't mean that as a knock against Undertale.
I do want to get back to playing this eventually, but so far I'd say I like what I've played up to the point I stopped at!
However, a setting like this feels better suited to a gameplay style akin to Zelda than a collectathon platformer :P

Ah, yes, the funny furry isekai game.
I've had history with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team in the past - by which I mean I played a used GBA cartridge of the original that had already made it through the first half of the game. I then heard about this remake a few years back, bought it day one, put so many hours into the earlygame...and then proceeded to not touch the game again for a few years.
And now that I've finished what I'd previously started, I do appreciate the quality of life improvements (better balance with this game's starter Pokémon, etc.) that this remake offers.
The presentation - putting aside my bias for pixel art - is undoubtably better than the original. I do like the way the game manages to make the 3D models look like hand-drawn images. Though, I do miss the camps being fully explorable...
The gameplay...is the same dungeon-crawler gameplay Spike Chunsoft has executed well for the past two decades by the time of this game's release. I've no idea what else to say about it, other than my observation about how few people are here specifically for the gameplay.
Shelved because I intend to return at a later date to do the postgame quests, but I really enjoyed the main story so far!
Also, the base remodeling story-beat was more of a non-sequitur than I'd remembered it being.
Also also, the protag musta had a pretty shitty life as a human if they willingly allowed the erasure of their previous memories.
