Let’s Play «Pokémon Arceus»: off into an open-world spectacle!
27.1.2022
Translation: Patrik Stainbrook
Phil and I are taking out our balls – to hunt some monsters! Really, get your minds out of the gutter. Starting Friday, 11:00 a.m., we’ll be playing «Pokémon Legends: Arceus» for the first time.
A new Pokémon game is coming: «Pokémon Legends: Arceus.» Whether it’ll become as legendary as its namesake remains to be seen. Fans are doubtful, despite the many positive reviews so far. Although Nintendo finally wants to keep its open-world promise – they already tried with predecessors «Pokémon Sword and Shield» – the graphics resemble an alpha version, to quote user kev89.
«The game world/levels are completely loveless and lacking details. Looks like an alpha version.»
Is it really that bad? That’s what Phil and I are finding out. Join our Let’s Play as we travel back in time to days when humans and Pokémon didn’t live together in harmony. Our adventure begins in the majestic expanses of the Hisui region, where we’ll join a research team to explore the world and categorise the Pokémon living in it (Pokémons? Pokémen?).
On January 28, at 11:00 a.m., it’s on.

Luca.Fontana@digitecgalaxus.chI write about technology as if it were cinema, and about films as if they were real life. Between bits and blockbusters, I’m after stories that move people, not just generate clicks. And yes – sometimes I listen to film scores louder than I probably should.
