On paper, Pokemon Violet is one of the best pokemon games. The open world gameplay is incredibly fun, the music is great, the story is actually really interesting, the new pokemon roster is fun, and it has without the best climax out of any pokemon game.

It's absolutely incredible.

But this game just is not fucking done. I personally did not deal with many bugs, but the frame rate is absolutely abhorrent.

For now, it is a 9/10 game that is being rated a lot lower because it is simply not done. I am so sad, but I can not recommend this to anyone yet.

Just know that if it does get patched, you will very much enjoy it.
