This is another incredibly good interactive narrative that uses the gameplay to enhance the story. It's about being miles away from anyone, totally isolated, in a huge and empty expanse. The only time you ever see a person is as a silhouette, and the walk speed is comparatively slow to other games, bringing about the sense of vastness to the forest.
None of this to mention the amazing story.

The UI and everything just feels very cheap and unfinished. The characters are fun, but there's 36 of them and it starts to feel a bit like a chore half-way through.
As far as gameplay goes, every single episode is the same - two choices, 3 endings (wrong on first choice, wrong on second, right on second). There's no penalty for getting it wrong, so it's basically just lots of reading. Like Homestuck.

While I do agree with most that Pokémon has gotten worse over the years, I don't agree with how much. These games are not bad, and people are expecting too much from them. The graphics, especially when compared with other Nintendo titles on the Switch like Breath of the Wild, leave something to be desired. But aside from that, it's a perfectly fine Pokémon adventure, with a similarly childish but not unentertaining plot and silly characters along the way.
I love story games, and OPUS has an incredibly cute and endearing main character following a tragically hopeless search. Unfortunately, the beautiful narrative doesn't make up for the abhorrent lack of gameplay. This is some of the most repetitive and uninteresting gameplay I've ever seen. The plot and lovable characters motivated me to reach the end, but they do not make up for the rating.
