The "Free-to-Start" TrapWhile the blocky "Tumblecube Island" aesthetic is charming at first glance, Pokémon Quest quickly reveals itself to be a shallow experience designed more around your wallet than your **** it Struggles: Glacial Progression: Calling this game "slow" is an understatement. The energy system (Battery) refills at a snail's pace, meaning you spend more time waiting to play than actually playing. Unless you're willing to stare at a timer, the momentum dies within the first hour. Pay-to-Win Mechanics: The game is heavily skewed toward "DLC Expeditions" and PM Tickets. If you don't shell out real cash for the better cooking pots and decorations that boost drop rates, you’ll find yourself hitting a massive difficulty wall that requires weeks of mindless grinding to overcome. Drought of Content: Once you’ve seen the first few biomes, you’ve seen it all. The "auto-play" nature of the combat means there is very little strategy involved. After the main quest ends, there is almost nothing to do except roll for the same Pokémon with slightly better stats.VerdictIt’s a cute screensaver, but a poor game. If you aren't prepared to pay for the "privilege" of speeding up the grind, there isn't enough depth or content here to justify the time investment.

un piccolo e semplice spin-off free-to-play davvero carino e godibile ma che esaurisce quel che ha da offrire velocemente con un gameplay loop che stanca velocemente. 5.8/10

I like the artstyle and the way of bringing pokemon to your camp but it's very grindy and the mewtwo boss is really difficult but that's just a me problem
