The graphics are obviously beautiful, but from what I've seen, there's a lot of game-breaking glitches (most of which aren't found in a casual play, hopefully) going about and the game has only been out for a while. Also, bullet hell games aren't really my thing as I'm not a big fan of a cluttered screen, but that's just my opinion. EDIT: Also, as mentioned previously, I'm not a big fan of you having to beat the game on the default difficulty or higher in order to actually beat the game. Sure, it's not a greater achievement if you were able to beat it on an easier difficulty, but maybe include some kind of trophy screen where you can see the different game modes you've completed? Because, easy Cuphead isn't hard Cuphead. It's not the same achievement.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

As someone who grew up with DPPt, I have a soft spot for these games, but I'll try to write this review as neutrally as possible. One positive is I absolutely love the soundtrack. You could take any song out of it and you'll love it. The way it can manipulate your emotions to put you in a certain mood is amazing. It just brings out the feeling of calmness of the region. The gameplay is also very nice. The characters are memorable, colorful, and filled with personality. The Pokémon are also very memorable (Bidoof, anyone?), well designed, etc. I couldn't ask for a better generation of characters/pokémon. Overall, I can't describe how much I love this game. If anyone asked me for a Pokémon game recommendation, heck, even just a game recommendation, I would tell them to pick up a copy of Pokémon Diamond/Platinum/Pearl. There is absolutely nothing I dislike about the game (maybe apart from the lack of the Gen 1/6-7 EXP Share, but that's because I'm a lazy bum).

As a lifelong fan of Pokémon, I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this game. However, there just was some things I didn't like about it. First of all, personally, it just felt different. The feel was just completely different compared to when I played any other Pokémon game. I'm counting off for this because I feel like it's because the game was changed in such a way that it felt so different for me. Another thing was the change in the gym leader system. It's both a pro and con for me, because Nintendo was trying to change up the formula, which was good, but it just wasn't the same as gym leaders, which is not as good. Finally, the biggest con for me is the amount of handholding the game puts you through. Out of what I believe is four islands if I remember correctly, two of them are mostly tutorial. It feels like it's designed for three-year-olds. It just ruins the fun of it when you're put in to what feels like a multiple hour-long cutscene.

One of the best games I've ever played. It's addicting, but it's a good type of addicting. There is so much gameplay and content that you'll end up playing for hours upon hours without realizing it. And if the endless amount of content isn't enough for you, you can either make or download user-made mods so you can have even MORE content. The amount of gameplay and possibilities are endless, and you won't regret buying it.

Very good game. Lots of content that is updated frequently. Lots of content, which includes roles, different ways to play, etc. Large competitive scene that anyone who knows how to take notes, process situations, and think logically can get in to. Although the player base isn't exactly the friendliest (which is in no way the game or developer's fault, which is why I'm not taking off points for it), you can still play the game and have a good time.

I haven't played the game, but a family member does, and I've seen some game play of it. It's very, very repetitive, and really provides no depth or extra content besides just being a slide puzzle. Content is the most important part ****, so that's why I'm giving it a low score (6 maximum). However, I have to give the developers something for managing to get people addicted to it all across the world (Would be +1, but I already stated I wouldn't give it anything higher than a 6). Again, I don't know as much about this game, so take my words lightly, and do your research by either playing the game or looking at other reviews.

Very good game. Interface is nice and clean so it's easy to get around. Game is very welcoming to new players. Constant updates and events to keep players on their toes. Plenty of game modes for everyone. You can definitely finish the game as a free-to-play player, but you can buy card packs if you don't like waiting or grinding. Only problem I have with the game is that you will spend a big amount money on card packs, and then you'll end up not using that card in battle in the future because you've moved up the tiers. Also, there is some heavy emphasis on being very active, especially in teams, but that is really caused by the players, so I won't be counting off on that.
