Realistically, in the late 90s and early 2000s, they had great Pokemon games for GB and GBA, but that was a different time with different appetites. The last few titles from this team suggested that the moment had come to move on to new tasks, or that they wanted "something new and something wild." For all of you who expected Game Freak to make new Pokemon games just on other platforms with the same mechanics and "more serious graphics," you might be disappointed.

This review praises ARC Raiders as a fresh, polished, and more accessible entry into the extraction shooter genre, highlighting its engaging PvPvE combat, well-designed robot enemies, satisfying progression systems, and stunning audiovisual presentation on Unreal Engine 5, while noting criticisms of its menu-based social hub and occasional inventory management clunkiness on consoles.

I would recommend this game for players aged 16 and older due to its complex moral themes, satirical corporate critique, and instances of violence and sarcastic humor that require a more mature understanding to appreciate fully.

Yooka-Replaylee reimagines a classic platformer with improved design and visuals, but a softer challenge.
