Pokemon Legends: Arceus is finally out, and the game seems to be a huge success thus far based on its early reviews. It is very innovative, as it features new status conditions and weather effects, while also breaking the formula of the series' way of handling Pokemon encounters and its turn-based combat system. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is arguably one of the best releases for the series in the past few years, and its semi-open-world approach probably builds on the foundations laid by Pokemon Sword and Shield.
