    Temtem follows a rather simple premise. What if Pokémon’s first generation was made today? The result is an excellent dose of nostalgia with many modernized features such as campaign co-op and a rich endgame. It’s about time Nintendo’s stagnant franchise gets serious competition and as things stand now, Temtem is the game for those who have dropped off the main Pokémon games for lack of innovation and challenge. A relatively low price and a ton of very polished content makes this an easy recommendation.

    Temtem has a lot of content to crawl through and it makes for a great MMO. Even if it’s not the most charming monster collecting game, it’s certainly one of the best I’ve seen from a western developer yet.

    Temtem is a work of praise and criticism, innovating and refining a formula that is over 20 years old in the industry, making this an experience so similar to Pokémon and yet so unique that it is worth playing.

    Temtem is not perfect, but it is as close to Pokemon as you'll get on the Xbox. With 164 creatures to capture and so many more features to uncover, Temtem is a fun time and a good challenge all in.

    TemTem is a monster taming game with a lot of personality, a careful design, RPG elements that make the adventure satisfying and an excellent combat system.

    TemTem is an extremely well-made monster collecting RPG that in my opinion does enough to differentiate it from the competition; even if just. My biggest issue with the game is the label it has for being an MMO, while it is always online, and you will see other human tamers running around the world and can interact with them; once the story is done and players have collected all the creatures there may not be much left to do outside of various events and tournaments. The developers have stated that they are not planning for any more creatures, or any other expansions; that just seems like an odd stance for an MMO which usually continue for years through more content. If you can get past that, there is an enjoyable story, mechanics and loads of activities and creatures to collect. While players may not be playing TemTem for the next 10 years, if Pokémon games are your jam, then TemTem will offer you a great experience for the foreseeable future.

    The game seems very organic to me, complete in its structure...
    The game has its difficulty and base content, people who complain about microtransactions forget that it is optional and the game already has full content...
    But if they could lower the prices of the Novas, but I don't care, I just want deep competition and a lot of things to do...
    I like most of the designs, it runs very well on PC and Xbox, Switch its details but they are being fixed, this game has a lot of potential and is the future of Monster Taming...

    This would have been a great game if they did try to force feed you their woke agenda. Game is not for kids. This is a shame because game play is fun.
