The toy is beautiful. Not so much the graphon itself, but the attitude towards the material. It was made not only with respect to history, but also a lot was recreated, even the crowds were babbling in (almost?) those dialects of that time.
It’s bad that the encyclopedia in its old, more convenient form was abolished, it’s good that they went out of their way with the excursion mode, this is very commendable and respected.
I decided that I would definitely throw in my pennies on occasion, even when I had just entered this mode, and the game itself was played like all the others, with a fierce grind. Only here, at least they added an RPG component, at least some progress is felt. I hope that in subsequent games in the series they will leave the standard formula with millions of grinds and deepen and expand the possibilities and points of pumping and its implementation (there won’t be enough mythical monsters, so you can always fill all sorts of distant dungeons and caves high in the mountains with yours, so much so that 100500 level, it was difficult not to die in the first second), because non-changeable elements of equipment in 2020 look very strange.
In short, not the best decisions within the series, but the game itself is good.
(and... yes, it’s not worth playing without a trainer and/or ready-made saves, it’s just boring, especially because of the meager loot)
