Detective Pikachu Returns was my first Detective Pikachu game and I will say I really enjoyed playing this game. No, the graphics weren't great, yes the game is short. But for what its worth the story is really encapsulating and makes me want to go play the 3DS Detective Pikachu game or watch the Detective Pikachu movie. Although the game is very short, it took 13 hours for me and I was taking my time. I would buy this game if you find it on sale even for 15-20% off, It's fun for what it gives :)

"Master Detective Pikachu Returns" does a lot of things right, but also some things not too well. The storyline with Tim and Pikachu is good and carries you through the 15 hours. However, there could be more depth here and it could be kept relatively simple. Unfortunately, the voice actors are only available in English or Japanese. You can also expect a lot from the gameplay and the puzzles and tasks are aimed more at younger players. The technology and sound are good. On the whole, "Master Detective Pikachu Returns" is a decent game for the Switch, but there are a few places where you'll have to make compromises.

Good-
A fun story with a satisfying resolution; surprisingly strong voice work for the main characters; charming characters and great fan-service for long-time fans; easy and fun to pick up and play for younger players.
Bad-
The graphics look dated, and there are a lot of loading screens; the gameplay is extremely simplified; the story is done well and is fun to follow along, but remains largely predictable.
Thoughts-
Should you play Detective Pikachu Returns? If you are a fan of Pokemon, and enjoyed the original game, you will probably get something out of this one. While there are some changes to what the first game did, on the whole, the boat has not been rocked too much, and you will still get more of that same formula here. Younger players especially will probably like this game a lot and be drawn to it, with its charming characters, fun story, and simplistic gameplay. For older players, the recommendation has more caveats, but if you’re down for getting a deeper look at the Pokemon world than you otherwise get, you’ll find what’s here fun enough.

No pude ni acabar el juego. Puzles aburridos, misterios con poco sentido y arte mejorable.

This is point, click, read, walk around, repeat. Oh, occasionally you need to tap “A” repeatedly. The puzzles take absolutely no skill. This is a waste of time. I assumed it would be better but it’s hard to stay awake. Do not waste your money on this game. Even kids will find it boring.
