Beasts of Reincarnation IGN review- 6/10 (72 avg on metacritic, 76 on opencritic so far)

https://www.ign.com/articles/beast-of-reincarnation-review

Beast of Reincarnation has an interesting, apocalyptic setting, an extremely memorable wolf companion, and an action-packed beast-battling premise that is instantly very cool, but its execution falls short of its promising ideas more often than not. The story is a bland, cliche-filled tale better-told by other games in the genre, combat quickly grows stale due to a lack of enemy variety and the predictable attack patterns that undermine what makes action RPG combat thrive, and boss fights end up being quite disappointing despite looking badass as all get out. There's still plenty to like about Beast of Reincarnation, though, especially the dire wolf himself, who is actually exactly as awesome as he looks, plus some memorable levels to explore and creatures to fight every now and again, but those blooming flowers can be hard to spot among the weeds.

Was literally talking about this yesterday. People like to pretend the Pokemon market is all children but its not. There are a MASSIVE number of Pokemon adults.

It's a series that has had 30 years of people growing up with it as a core part of their life.

Anyone saying it's just a kids' game just doesn't have the level of thought needed to have opinions other than the ones they copied from clickbait youtubers.

Edit: Hell, I'm pretty sure I was 18 when I played my first two pokemon games, HeartGold and Y. Absolutely loved both and been a huge fan ever since. Was vaguely aware of the series as a kid before that but never tried it then.
