Pokémon Legends Z-A brings a significant change to the Pokémon series, but its long-term gameplay is similar to its predecessors.
The game features real-time combat, a major shakeup to the core gameplay, but it doesn't entirely revitalize the game.
The new twist to the classic combat isn’t the huge revitalization of the game that I expected.
The battles still present moments of tension, and the use of the same attacks makes them play out similarly to turn-based games.
The game world is also a major change, offering a new experience for players.
Overall, the game is still fun, but the changes may not be as impactful as expected.
