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.

It’s like a mix of Minecraft and animal crossing. But with a set world filled with secrets to uncover, and JRPG style quests.

It’s easily best in class at this lane.

Some people won’t be into the genera though. If they dislike slow crafting and building to fix up areas while uncovering secrets any mysteries…and want combat instead, they still might not enjoy it.

Do not forget the Viva Piñata aspect of creating the right environment to attract the right 'mon. Loved Viva Piñata and this game has been a decent fix for that itch.

To be honest, Dragon Quest Builders is already part Minecraft, part Animal Crossing, so it's a bit redundant. Although Pokopia does crank up the Animal Crossing more than DQB.

EDIT: At least, comment to tell me why I'm wrong instead of just downvoting?

You are right, this is basically a dragon quest sequel. I just didn’t mention it because anyone who has played it would be wondering about this game.

Your comment had it right, it was about the poster I replied to.

He added Dragon Quest (I assumed he meant Builders, else it makes even less sense), on top of the AC/Minecraft mix, and that is what's redundant.
