On second replay, I'm reminded of everything I love about this game. The story remains incredible, Arthur is one of the best video game protagonists I've seen. But also, the world still feels so alive, is gorgeous to behold, the soundtrack is fantastic, the mechanics feel good, and the horse tumbles are absurd and hilarious.
This is Rockstar's best work. I'm not sure how they'll ever be able to top it.

I had a really good time with this game. The story felt just like watching a Digimon anime, and that's definitely what I wanted out of it. The battle system isn't much special, but I played on easy so it just server as a way for battles to play out in the story anyway. I love a good Digimon story and this delivered!

With great new QOL updates, a fun realization of Pokemon + open world, and the best story that the series has had in years, this game surpassed my expectations. There are some elements I still prefer in Arceus, such as how Pokémon are encountered on the field, but overall I enjoyed my time here. And while I hope to see performance issues rectified in the next entry, this is a promising direction for the series.

Controls - 10/10, lovely
Gameplay - 9/10, simple but gets the job done
Music - 8/10, good but could use more
Camera - 8/10, nothing to complain about much here but it had a couple moments where it was iffy
Sound Effects - 4/10, definitely need more going on here
Overall - lovely game, concise, good modernization of an N64 vibe. Simple but effective.

Previously I'd only played Pac-Man World 2, so this was my first exposure to the first game in the series. I liked it a lot & had a fun time. I do wish the remake would've also given an option for infinite lives (something the original version actually had a cheat for). I hope Pac-Man World 2 gets a rerelease of some kind, as I vastly prefer the vibes of that game, but this was pretty good!
