He was enjoying a casual doze in a pristine-looking river. I giggled in glee when I saw my first Psyduck. When it comes to the latter, most important element, Arceus absolutely nails it. I love the art direction in Arceus.Įven the game’s visual issues – and yes, I do realise it has them, such as severe pop in and poor levels of detail and texturing – are more than easy to forgive thanks to a combination of the art direction and the visual quality of the pokémon themselves. As I have commented a couple of times, I immediately felt a kinship between Pokémon Legends and Monster Hunter Rise, because both games are unashamedly Japanese in visual design, after both their base series’ have spent much of their history trying to homogenise the aesthetic to become almost nondescript. I’ve always been a fan of softer colours, be that watercolour or pastels, and I’ve always been a fan of Japanese aesthetics, which this game has in spades. I’m going to put that up-front because it has been the discourse that has plagued this game from day one, but I genuinely love the aesthetic. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a really, really good looking game.
