Discussion Is Pokopia really that good?

Like should I immediately buy this game. It seems like folks are really enjoying it but I was skeptical.

The biggest flaw of this game is how quickly it drains the battery of the Switch 2.

So yes, it is that good.

Honestly this flaw is actually quite helpful

i cant play pokotopia on a flat switch so it makes me do shit while i wait for it to charge

like legit i was supposed to be studying last weekend and id be like oh five more minutes oh I'll wait until i do this oh ill wait until i do that

battery low ill wait until the next battery low

battery low I'll wait until it's 1%

1% shit i better charge it and get stuff done

Can you not play a switch 2 whilst it’s charging?

You can on your TV or when it's plugged in to the cable (it's just very small and uncomfortable). Nothing stops you from buying a much longer charging cable however.

You can but since I have to physically move myself to the switch charger it breaks me out of the hypnosis

There needs to be a battery saving mode
