Was Pokemon Legends Arceus Really That Good?

Midas takes it back to the past, sort of :D

When Pokémon Legends: Arceus launched, it completely changed what fans expected from a Pokémon game. With its open-zone exploration, stealth catching, revamped battle system, and historical Sinnoh setting, many called it the best Pokémon game on the Nintendo Switch. But does it actually live up to the hype? Or is it just a cool experiment with missed potential?

In this mostly spoiler-free review, we take a deep look at what Legends Arceus got right, what could’ve been better, and whether it truly stands as the top-tier Switch Pokémon experience. From gameplay mechanics and world design to Pokémon variety and story structure, we cover it all—without ruining the surprises.
If you’ve never played Legends Arceus, or you bounced off of Sword & Shield or Scarlet & Violet, this video will help you decide if this unique entry is worth your time. And if you did play it, this is the perfect spoiler-free deep dive to see how it stacks up against other modern Pokémon titles on Switch.

This video is great for:

Fans of open-world or exploration-based games

Longtime Pokémon players curious about the franchise’s direction

Newer fans wondering which Pokémon Switch game to try first
