I’ve been playing it over the last few days. Cozy games aren’t my thing, and not for lack of trying. I played Stardew Valley with friends and I couldn’t stay interested. Pokemon largely hasn’t excited me since gen 2.
Minecraft, however, is something I really enjoyed, especially back when it was in beta, so I thought a “pokemon plus minecraft” type game might interest me. I’m not sure yet, but clearly a lot of people like it.
I got it last week and it has been taking up all my free time since then. I’ve also never been into casual games like this (Animal Crossing didnt do it for me) nor minecraft, but I’m enjoying the combination of both.
