Please do not buy or play Detective Pikachu Returns. I played the full game here so you never have to. It has no reason to exist, no rewards or payoff for gameplay. This is a genuinely awful Pokemon experience that took 14 hours to complete - just watch the Detective Pikachu movie instead.

I absolutely hate this game. Ironically we have made this game look better by editing down 14 hours of gameplay into highlights. The 12 hours that were removed contain nothing of note or consequence to the story, and mostly consist of fetch quests where you walk back and forward to help a Pokemon. There is no meaningful reward for any of this. Please do not buy this game, even for kids it's not worth it. It is genuinely embarassing for the most profitable media franchise on Earth to release a game of this poor quality. I would rather play Minecraft Story Mode again than this

@Droub_ 9 месяцев назад

Reminder that the reason for the long development because of the “switching platforms” is *youtube* because they made the game in unity, not a custom game engine.

Amazing how none of the human character models convey half as much emotion as the Pikachu model does.

I think part of what makes the game boring is that there is 0 challenge and 0 chance to fail even at the end. The game doesn’t penalise you for getting the solution wrong like phoenix wright nor does it let you work everything out for yourself like return of the obra dinn, even the quick time events are often impossible to fail. This makes the game boring because if there is no threat and no chance of failure then essentially the gameplay is little more than an intractable cutscene to the player.

"Pokemon can't use Self-Destruct if there's too much moisture in the air." This is actually in reference to the ability Damp, which specifically prevents explosion moves while a pokemon with the ability is out on the field.
