Review: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the most feature-rich entries in years

Game Freak has delivered what feels like the future of the series, although with some performance woes

The latest mainline games in the Pokémon series are the first fully open-world titles in the franchise’s history.

In VGC’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet review, we said the games were the most feature-rich Pokémon titles in years but suffered from technical issues.

“The huge expansion and changes to the single player campaign are great, the size of the world and the joy of exploration are the best in the series, and the new Pokemon and battle mechanics introduced all sing,” we wrote.

“However, it’s just impossible to shake the thought of how much better the game would feel if it was on more powerful hardware, or simply ran acceptably on Switch.”
