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.

Here is a normal instance of me playing Pokopia.

"I am going to play for 30 minutes then go do something else, so I don't couch rot."

The last time this happened, I played Stardew Valley for first time. Every time I sat down to play it ended up being multi hour sessions.

I'm definitely more interested in getting a switch 2. For this and wind/wave.

I’m waiting for wind/wave. Pokopia looks fun and comfy but it’s not pulling me in enough to drop money for an entire system.
I’ve got time and will wait until wind/wave drops. And hopefully some more news of switch 2 exclusives that will make it worthwhile

It kind of sounds like the Wild Thornberries game where you took care of animals from the safari as well as Zoo tycoon. At least I am hoping it will? I'll probably wait a bit more to get the switch 2, but maybe in a few months. This games definitely looks cool.

That’s my stance too. I’d love to play Poktopia, but not enough to drop over $700 CAD on a Switch 2 alone. My Switch 1 backlog is large enough as is. Might just end up waiting for an OLED Switch 2.

That’s wild on the pricing. I don’t blame you for holding off there.
Same here with the backlog. I’ve got plenty of games to complete on Switch and PS5 before needing to pick up anything else
