The city could do with work, but Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a much more tightly focused, delightfully goofy, return to better form. At least by modern standards.
Wow that’s a sad thing to say about the second game in that (sub)series. Even the first should’ve been more than a proof of concept. It would be excusable for a $20 early access game on Steam to be a tech demo of this calibre, but not a $85 (CAD) game. It does interest me enough to consider eventually picking up a used copy do dump to my Steam Deck, which is about the highest complement I can offer a Nintendo game.
