Really? Like, I bought the game a while ago, and I honestly enjoyed it. It's been a while since I last played it, so I'm not sure about balancing issues and the likes, but I do believe that it is still a nicely done game, if you are to take the regular gameplay in and by itself.

The gameplay is a cut-and-paste copy of Pokemon's; it does almost nothing different to set itself apart. The shop prices for cosmetic items are astronomical and the only way you'll get that sort of money is if you nolife the game for weeks. The breeding is probably the worst part; fertility and the absolute need to have a LOT of pansuns before you even start trying for ONE specimen is ridiculous.

I never got past the second island, since I normally love shiny breeding in Pokemon, but this was a new low for mongame creators. "Hey, let's make it so you can't infinitely breed the monster's you have! It'd wreck the MMO part!" Not that the game really plays like an MMO - sure, there's other people you can see, but that doesn't make it an MMO.

I'm not gonna knock you for playing and liking the game, I'm just gonna leave all this info here since Temtem felt like the worst game of 2020 for me. I really do think Crema was trying to capitalize on the hate boner for Pokemon Sword and Shield, and they failed miserably, but I still got suckered into at least trying it...and now I can't get a refund.

The problem with Temtem, is after a few days; it became clear that the Devs weren't looking to make a franchise. Instead, they were just trying to make a profit. The game is trying to cash in so hard on the Pokemon problems, that they forgot to make it a good game.

I'm really hoping that Palworld succeeds where it failed, since it seems to be focusing a lot more on the morals and interesting aspects of a world with creatures; instead of just copy/pasting Pokemon.
