for me it’s RE4, but this question came to me as I was demolishing a backpack battles run last night (pyromancer OP)

    the core gameplay loop is incredible

    I thought it was acceptable at the start but then it rapidly became a grindy, unfun and dull slogfest for me. I’m glad that you could find enjoyment in it, though it’s not my cup of tea at all (I’d rather eat my shoes than play legends again lol)

      I feel like a lone defender in a medieval fort here, but I loved Arcaeus and it’s my favorite Pokemon title since the Colosseum games. Pokemon needs more games that take the usual Pokemon game loop and do different things with it.

        Agreed, we just have different opinions on whether legends succeeded in doing this well or not.

        Hot take but I believe that scarlet/violet and let’s go games did do different things and did them well (though scarlet/violet clearly needed more development time).

        Nobody knows what legends-za will be like but it’s a possibility that the game will fix legends arceus’s problems.
