Temtem

When all is said and done, Temtem is far more than its inspirations. Though it stumbles occasionally, the game offers an experience that even the most grizzled Pokémon fan will enjoy while also building up a new world for fresh players to marvel at. It’s a must-play and a strong showing of what could be a major series moving forward.

Temtem is a very well designed game full of charisma, although its multiplayer feels very underwhelming and we don’t see the need for battle passes and microtransactions.

Temtem is a unique yet familiar take on the monster-collecting genre. Its blend of MMO mechanics gives it the potential for a long-running, sustainable community with more to enjoy than a single-player narrative. The new combat mechanics are a fantastic upgrade. However, the Tems themselves and the overall lack of guidance aren’t quite up to standards. Tems aren’t that memorable themselves and many of their names just don’t click. Having no guidance on typing, advantages, or explanations on a number of smaller features drops the enjoyment of gameplay. It’s a great experience, but it expects you to already have a certain amount of knowledge of both genres before picking up the controller.

Temtem is fun and enjoyable, but it doesn't even try to reinvent the wheel, settling for just being a poke-clone.

Overall, Temtem is a fine alternative to other monster-collecting games with plenty to do. The balance can be a bit troublesome, but that may vary from person to person. However, it offers enough differences to be unique, with its default two-on-two battles and mechanics adding variety to each fight. Plus, playing with friends is easy and a blast.

Temtem shakes up the Pokémon formula in several ways, yet is held back by poor pacing and a world that needs more things to discover and do.

They may have copied the Nintendo behemoth in lots of ways, and the game may provide an interesting glimpse into how Pokémon might look with a more populated world, but anyone hoping this would displace (or even come close to) the venerable series will find themselves sorely disappointed.

It's okay, I guess, if you don't own a switch. But in my opinion if you do own a switch, just play Pokémon. Pokémon is better. I would absolutely love if they did make a Temtem 2 though, and make it 3D and open world so it could actually try to compete with Pokémon. SCORE: 5/10 (It's a game. It's there. And it exists)

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

I was enjoying my time with it, but I had the game lose connection to the server and lost 30 minutes of progress multiple times. Along with losing progress to crashes, I had to put it down as a result.

En résumé : 44€ des DLC qui devraient être des updates plusieurs Kickstarter pour "soutenir" différent "projets" lié au jeu sinon pour décrire le gameplay linéaire et focalisé sur une histoire qui ce prend ultra au sérieux pour un clone de Pokémon (Si jamais le jeu requière le fait d'être en ligne pour jouer donc si jamais les serveurs on un "problème" ect...)
