Pokémon Legends Z-A brings a significant change to the Pokémon series, but its long-term gameplay is similar to its predecessors.
The game features real-time combat, a major shakeup to the core gameplay, but it doesn't revolutionize the game as expected.
The new twist to the classic combat isn’t the huge revitalization of the game that I expected.
The battles still present moments of tension, and the use of same attacks makes them similar to turn-based games. The game world is also a major change, offering a new experience.
Overall, the game is
just as fun as any other Pokémon game, with the real-time combat being a refreshing change for some trainers.
Author's summary: Pokémon Legends Z-A offers a new twist on classic gameplay.
