IGN called the new setting “ drab and empty,” and while Legends: Arceus’ landscape is more barren, this is arguably intentional, due to the game's ancient-era setting. Pokémon Legends: Arceus user score is sitting at 7.7, and if Legends: Arceus's record-breaking retail sales are anything to go by, in addition to a current Audience rating of 4.3 out of 5 on Google, with 88% positive reviews, Arceus's future Metacritic user score will likely remain fairly high.
