▶ Pokemon Presents — August 2022 — Updates on various Pokemon titles, including a closer look at this year’s Scarlet and Violet. The co-op mode is pretty appealing, and being able to travel around a Pokemon that resembles a motorbike is a daft bit of fun I can get behind.

Ted Hazell // Nintendo World Report REVIEW Hingsight — The author came away from Annapurna Interactive’s latest feeling a little frustrated and dissapointed, noting it was ” difficult to recommend “. Roland Ingram for Nintendo Life was far more positive however, calling it a moving hit that ” does what it does with technical and artistic aplomb “.
