so yeah second post lol so first pokemon sword and shield have recieved lots of backlash on graphics animations and the lack of more than half of the pokemon, this is going to slightly change my opinion but not a ton, but that wont change my opnion much as i will focuse on things such as ganeplay and story. with that out of the way lets get into the review. so first pokemon sword is the version i played and i have finished the story and the story is meh, for the most part there is little story and only kinda starts at the end so yeah story gets 5/10. next gameplay battles are good its pokemon you know, next the wild area is epic and i like how they added roaming pokemon and max raid battles which is epic and a very good and efficient grinding method so gameplay 9/10. ok finnaly graphics/ animation the graphics and animation are fine but they could be better as they did get rid of half the pokemon so i say 7/10 on graphics.

final score 8/10

conclusion: pretty good if you like pokemon you should buy
