the glitches & performance issues.. yeah, they suck. but they're not as big of a deal as twitter (& some reviews here) make it out to be.
i have 22 hours already (shh leave me alone) & it's crashed once while walking into a building. the frame lags aren't as often as you think- many 'open world' games on the switch (yes, very much even BOTW- blood moons are literally just resets to the world to 'fix' the memory leak) have memory leaks. if the lag is getting too bad, a simple close & reopen will fix it right up.
the amount of fun this game is, is way over the smol headache some lag gets you. you can do anything in any order you want- it feels so good, even if i just spend it all out in the fields. i'd much rather have a game with lots of fun stuff to do, than have some trees render in a little better & being stuck to routes. the story so far is so CUTE! i have a feeling some of these stories will be more memorable than past ones! you can play the entire story while online with friends- that's awesome! being online does seem to cause more lag; maybe that's how people are getting a lot more problems than me. the QOL in this game is just fantastic. i got a shiny an hour in, & making eggs seems like you can just afk & they go straight into your box, also eating sandwiches (or other snacks) make eggs pop out so, so fast.
please, if you enjoy pokemon, just try it out. it's honestly addicting & i can't pull myself away from it. even if you've skipped a few of the last games, this one feels so good to play through. i'll make a better review when i finish the game, but for now, i'm having an absolute blast!
edit: finished the story. literally better than b/w. best story ever, not even joking. holy shit.
