POKÉMON LEGENDS ARCEUS is welcome evolution for the RPG series

Pokémon are weird and dangerous creatures in Game Freak's newest entry

February 17, 2022 12:29 AM

The Pokémon series celebrated 25 years last year and this year POKÉMON LEGENDS ARCEUS is one of the biggest departures from the tried and true format.

In a semi-open world where danger is all around you, this game feels like the closest to actually living the world of the anime series.

Mitchel Loh and Gianni Di Giovanni share their thoughts on their adventures in the ancient land of Hisui.

A review code of this game was provided to SIFTER by Nintendo Australia.

SIFTER is produced by Nicholas Kennedy, Kyle Pauletto, Fiona Bartholomaeus, Daniel Ang & Adam Christou. Mitch Loh is Senior Producer and Gianni Di Giovanni is our Executive Producer.
