I wasn't too impressed with Sw/Sh and I'm seeing a lot of the same complaints and more from capital-G Gamers and normal ass people alike.
Terrible performance, shitty animations (if they exist at all), lackluster open world, no more building interiors, missing features.
Is it even worth dropping $60 on this or is it just another shameful cashgrab? Strongly considering just picking up Legends Arceus as people seemed to really like that game and its fresh mechanics.
Insurgence is pretty solid imo, the Delta Pokemon are fun and they made the gym battles legitimately difficult. I was trying to go through it on hard mode and couldn't get past the third gym leader.
If you like difficulty and original story try pokemon reborn. It's really good and has lots of varied forms of challenges
I'll check it out, there's so many it's kinda overwhelming figuring out which ones to try.
