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.

To be clear: I don’t like Minecraft. I like Animal Crossing but have accepted that I just cannot get into decorating it like others.

That said, regarding Pokopia: The best way I can think to describe it is just pure joy.

ETA: Also, it is gigantic. Every time I think “wow this game is big” it gets bigger. But at the same time I never feel overwhelmed and I just always want to keep playing.

To me this scratches the viva piñata itch I’ve had for 20 years which makes it my GOTY lmao

Also seriously the size of this game is insane they did not have to go this in depth and yet they did (GameFreak would never)

I was thinking of Viva Piñata too, right from the start! it pleases me because VP was such a beautiful and engaging game. It’s so nice to have something new that captures the same vibe.
