I reviewed Pokémon Legends: Z-A, a game that honestly rather disgusts me. A cheaply produced minimum viable product with a pricing system that borders on a grift, this is Game Freak's complacency on full display.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A - A Budget Game At A Premium Price (Review)

Pokémon Legends: Z-AReleased: October 16th, 2025Developer: Game FreakPublisher: Nintendo, The Pokémon CompanySystems: Switch, Switch 2 (both reviewed)Pokémon Legends: Z-A has kicked up some online discussion about whether the series should have voice acting by now, and I think it's a fair question - not necessarily because voice acting in and of itself is the issue, but because the lack of it is a symptom of a far bigger problem.

I’ve been a lot more skeptical about this one

I'm kind of in Laura's camp, I can see why people hate it, and...can't really disagree with them, but I also...really kind of like it anyways. Still, gamefreak could do so SO much better. I'd kill for a pokemon game with a proper budget that played like a modern high quality rpg. Something like time stranger or smt/persona with pokemon rather than this half assed slop. ZA is fun, but it should be $30 max, the pokemon fanbase deserves better.
