I just finished the main game in Pokemon Sword, overall I'd give the games a 6.5/10 - they aren't terrible, but it does indeed feel like Game Freak was forced to cut corners to get the game out in time.
Pros
-despite the quality of the visuals in places, the region is beautiful and it was nice...
I don't hate the games based on my play so far, but I doubt they will be anywhere near my favorite. The game looks amazing in places, and then I can see some of the issues others are having in others.
Because it's a Pokemon game on a new system, I sorta enjoy the tutorials. But the in-game dialogue is right up there in excess with SM / USUM.
Also, can I just be rid of Sonia and Hop now?
I barely got my partner Pokemon, I chose Sobble for my first attempt to play because he has higher speed (I'm starting with Sword). I think I'm disappointed at how little there is to the new Pokemon for Gen 8 in terms of fire types. The grass types outside of Grooky are boring as well.
