Pokémon Pokopia is entirely brilliant. You'll have expectations. You'll want a cosy, wholesome adventure, with Pokémon given a chance to shine. Pokopia brushes all of those expectations aside with a confident wave, arriving as an expansive, ambitious life-adventure simulator that's absolutely packed with bright ideas, and the execution to match.

IGN: Pokémon Pokopia Becomes the Highest-Rated Pokémon Game of All-Time
Pokémon Pokopia has become the highest-rated Pokémon game of all time on Metacritic
The building and town simulator is sitting on a Metascore of 88 on Metacritic. That not only makes it one of the highest-reviewed games of the year so far — it's currently sitting alongside Mewgenics, RPG Estoreic Ebb, and Resident Evil Requiem — but that also makes it the highest-rated Pokémon game ever.
While Pokémon Y also has an 88 Metascore, Pokémon X has an 87, slightly lowering the average across both 2013 3DS games. That means Pokopia also pips Pokémon Moon, Pokémon HeartGold, Pokémon Black, Pokémon White, Pokémon etc
Pokémon Pokopia sees you play as a Ditto that has transformed to look like a human and must shape an empty land into a beautiful space for a variety of Pokémon. You'll learn new moves from Pokémon you meet to expand and create a paradise, collecting berries, rocks, and wood, as well as building furniture, growing vegetables in fields you’ve tilled, creating homes for Pokémon you meet, and more.
IGN's Pokémon Pokopia review returned a 9. We said: "Pokémon Pokopia is an enjoyable, personality-packed building simulator set in a surprisingly deep world that is stuffed with fun things for its delightful Ditto protagonist to do and create." It's out on March 5 exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.
I'm mixed on this. I enjoyed the first 2 games, but couldn't get into the 3rd one at all. Perhaps I should give 3 another go on Switch2.
The game description isn't promising. Making it easier to attract a wide audience? I think that's the thing that's started to hurt Monster Hunter. Unrelated note, did anyone ever play the Bayonetta prequel? Cereza and the Demon?

Agreed. As for Cereza, I played the Demo. It was a'ight. It's still on my eshop wishlist, waiting for a 80% discount within a timeframe where I might have a lot of time on my hands and nothing else to play.

Hmmm Pokopia wasn't even on my radar. Now I'm interested in possibly buying it.

Maybe Bayonetta 4 will go live service?
Agreed. As for Cereza, I played the Demo. It was a'ight. It's still on my eshop wishlist, waiting for a 80% discount within a timeframe where I might have a lot of time on my hands and nothing else to play.
Any day now...
I really enjoyed Bayonetta 1, 2, and 3 so I’m definitely interested in a new one. Never played the prequel though.
