Actually pretty good value. Might actually pick it up even though I'm not sure if I ever have enough time to play any of these. As a kid I had no money to buy games and as adult I have no time to play games.

I've had Tem Tem on my wishlist for a long time, but I've never seen it at a price that I felt I could get my money's worth, as I generally only enjoy this type of game up until the point the grind becomes too tedious. More than happy to grab it here, as I've also been interested in Outer Worlds, and I'm slowly building up the entire Yakuza series from bundles.

Ouch, I bought TemTem at full price just a few months ago.

Is it good?

It's alright. It's the most polished Pokemon clone out there but it's so obsessed with literally being Pokemon that it's not much better.

The 2v2 combat is better than Pokemon, don't get me wrong, but it's more grindy and there are way too many forced trainer battles. Exploration is pretty slow. It's online-only despite the multiplayer features feeling very tacked on. Oh, and there's a battle pass and cash store because of course there is.

There's better pokemon-esque games out there. I really enjoyed Monster Sanctuary, and Cassette Beasts looks really good as well.
