Pokémon Sword and Shield | Review Thread (READ STAFF POST)

- Start date
I read the Eurogamer review and was about to dump my Nintendo stock, but with IGN and Gamespot glowing, I guess I'll wait a bit.
GameInformer gives it an 8.75/10 it seems:
that is also on ps4 really.
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition for Switch game reviews & Metacritic score: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age tells a captivating tale of a hunted hero and is the long-awaited role-playing game from series creator Yuji Horii, ch...www.metacritic.com
Or maybe they don't care about the things that were cut. Some quotes are pretty clear about the cuts being for the best.

3 Stars.
"Thus is the conundrum, the paradox. Pokemon Sword & Shield is all too often a bit disappointing, and in some places actually feels a little unfinished, but it also fully provides that warm, fuzzy feeling that one expects from the series. Crucially, even through frustration, never once did I think about putting it down, which is to its credit. It comes recommended almost for the Galar setting and new Pokemon alone, but with a long list of caveats indeed. With the level of fan hyperbole surrounding this release, that recommendation is worth repeating and underscoring – but this is not the revolution that was promised or hoped for, and some may prefer to wait for a sale or wait and see if an improved, definitive release is on the cards."

Hilarious that people call criticism toxic, but them we already get "the babies", "they will come up with another narrative" and other dismissive comments.
High scores at IGN, Gamespot and Game Informer mean strong weighting on metacritic
What other sites are most heavily weighted?

Wait the GameSpot review is from Kallie Plagge aka "7,8 too much water" and "grow up" tweets?
LMAO

"The first new-generation Pokémon game to release on a proper home console does not disappoint. New features like Dynamaxing and the Wild Area are fun additions that make the experience of becoming a Pokémon champion still feel fresh. It's just a shame that Game Freak didn't lean into the new features more than they did."
80/100 from EGM

Let's hope the MC keeps dropping. Those IGN and GameSpot scores are ludicrous.
I can feel the harrasment she will get for that score.
Especially because she is a woman.
Lmao gotta love that Eurogamer is the one major source with a negative review--many of the rest are glowing--and y'all are acting like the game is doomed.
Can't wait to play on Friday and meet some cute new Poket Monsters. Will undoubtedly be ignoring the dreaded discourse.

Let's not take one review as if it's the "factual" review and others as if they're not. Each is as valid as each other
