That game is a fucking travesty, because the core gameplay loop is incredible. You get to fill out a pokédex with... actual pokémon facts! Like observing them performing their signature moves!
And it has Playstation 2 texture quality. And calling the inventory and crafting mechanics dog-brained would be an insult to dogs.
I thought it was acceptable at the start but then it rapidly became a grindy, unfun and dull slogfest for me. I'm glad that you could find enjoyment in it, though it's not my cup of tea at all (I'd rather eat my shoes than play legends again lol)
I feel like a lone defender in a medieval fort here, but I loved Arcaeus and it's my favorite Pokemon title since the Colosseum games. Pokemon needs more games that take the usual Pokemon game loop and do different things with it.
Agreed, we just have different opinions on whether legends succeeded in doing this well or not.
Hot take but I believe that scarlet/violet and let's go games did do different things and did them well (though scarlet/violet clearly needed more development time).
Nobody knows what legends-za will be like but it's a possibility that the game will fix legends arceus's problems.
