FUCK NO. sword/shield is one of the worst RPGS ever made and easily the worst switch game (worse than the eshop shovelware even).
1. The difficulty is absolutely braindead easy, making any strategy/team composition/rpg mechanics absolutely worthless. Just pick your strongest dude and steamroll everything until the end. Nothing requires any thought or nuance. A coma patient could beat this game.
2. The world design absolutely fucking sucks. This game is basically one hallway from beginning to end (almost as bad as the first half of FF13) with no dungeons/caves to explore or puzzles to solve. There is no interesting world building or exploration in here at all.
3. Looks like shit and runs like ass. If you enjoy sub 30 fps and assets ripped from the n64 you might still hate this game.
4. The fuck is this story? A story with zero momentum until something is asspulled at the very end.
So so far we have some abysmally easy gameplay, nothing worth exploring, a bad story, and poor performance and visuals. There is more below the shitburg once you get to the endgame but even just the above should put you off.
Dont reward gamefreak's mediocrity. Each pokemon entry has been taking away features and getting worse. This series used to actually have a hard mode and a story if you can believe it, not that you would think so by playing this game. A boring waste of time, don't play this garbage.
