Game Freak continues to surprise us.
If you're into co-op games at all, you should give Big Walk a chance.
This time it comes with a few bells and whistles.
Rhythm Heaven Groove brings the beloved series back.
This time, things are a little more relaxed.
The journal system is key to the game, and it jots down things your character notices from inspecting everything. In other words, it might show symbols or painting details you've discovered conveniently in one place, so you don't need to jog from room to room (and back) to solve puzzles. It's very well done in a way that doesn't outright spoil solutions, as you still need to figure them out.
Instead, Pragmata is content to let its strong action foundation speak for itself, while giving Hugh and Diana plenty of time to hang out and talk. As a companion, Diana is top-tier, and she never gets annoying (even when repeating phrases in several boss battles). The game does a great job of showcasing how important she is to the core of Pragmata in multiple ways, including her ability to support you in battle.The two voice actors for Hugh and Diana also work nicely off of each other. Hugh has someone to riff off of, and he's capable enough to feel like an action hero, but humble enough not to reach the point of arrogance.
It's not just bugs and technical issues that are holding Pokémon Champions back. The game is limited to 3v3 battles, much to the chagrin of casual players everywhere who were hoping for a 6v6 format at the very least. A lot of held items are straight-up missing from Champions, which in theory should shake up the meta, but just ends up limiting it. The smaller Pokédex is also one of the most pressing problems at the moment, as many staples are not included at all, and cannot be transferred in via Pokémon HOME.
