Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, how do video game critics rate it in their reviews?
We compiled the scores of the main media focused on video game analysis to know how was the most recent Pokémon adventure to arrive on Nintendo Switch.
The first reviews of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet for Nintendo Switch almost unanimously suggest that it is a production of remarkable quality, although far from the best rated games in the series. GameFreak's production takes up the open-world concept of Pokémon Legends Arceus and expands it with new features, as it could not be otherwise.
As it is almost a tradition in Meristation, we compiled the notes of the reviews from around the world and the average on Metacritic (mutable, as they are added progressively). In our text we highlight how "Pokémon Scarlet & Violet proposes a big change in the paradigm of the game, presenting a totally open world, being an installment that seeks to be very ambitious."
"Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is the biggest leap the franchise has made since its arrival on 3D. Never has the trainer's adventure made so much sense," mentions our colleague Alejandro Castillo in the conclusions of his analysis for MeriStation in Spain.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: what the reviews say
At the time of writing, the average score on Metacritic is 78/100 (based on 36 professional reviews).
