    If you’re a Pokémon fan you need to pick this one up, even if you’re not the casual laid back play is enjoyable for creature hunters of all levels!

    Temtem 1.0 offers a complex, challenging RPG full of possibilities, in addition to their connectivity with others MMO-like players.

    What it lacks in charm, Temtem makes up for with mechanical depth and involved multiplayer.

    Temtem is definitely worth getting for something different, yet familiar. It’s worth the price of admission, but that’s all you should spend on it.

    If you like collecting, leveling up and breeding cute animals, then Temtem is a game is worth your attention. There is still a lot of room for improvement, but the creature-collecting part of the game shines brightly.

    Temtem is a fantastic game when you look at its story and gameplay mechanics alone. However, when you see the variety of activities it has to offer and the way its economy is structured, it will make you second-guess your stay after the main story campaign is done and over with.

    Do not listen to people who talk about future micro-transaction because it is completely false.

    Better than Sword and Shield

    The game is a perfect demostration of what fans want in their favourite game, is what we have been asking for pokemon since almost 10 years, and is now a better option than the actual pokemon games for less than half the price

Besides aPokémon had every chance to make a game that looks and feels like this. The game has beautiful graphics and plays very smoothly. Besides a slightly annoying launch with packed serves and bugs which the Devs are currently hard at work mitigating.


    The game is still in early access so I hope they decide to continue working hard and don't give into to flooding the entire game with pay to win and micro transactions in the long run. This game definitely beats Pokémon I'm it's graphics and gameplay elements but it's still in its nascent stage and would love to see it as a proper contender against the Pokémon legacy

    I'm just here to balance out the nonsense of the negative reviews.

    Ironic Pokemon fans get upset over other monster collectors existing or "ripping them off" when Pokemon itself has always been a weak ripoff of Dragon Quest which did monster collecting and monsters in capsules years before Pokemon but Japan whom loved Dragon Quest before Pokemon certainly never seemingly threw a hissy fit and kill the Pokemon franchise like westerners tend to do with other monster collectors.

    Pretty much any monster collector RPG that has existed before or after Pokemon has been a way better game like Shin Megami Tensei, Dragon Quest Monsters, Digimon and Yo-Kai Watch. Wouldn't be surprised at all if Temtem accomplished the same thing.

    The current user score is absolutely skewed by toxic Pokemon players. This game has a lot of promise, despite it's shaky launch day. Combat isThe current user score is absolutely skewed by toxic Pokemon players. This game has a lot of promise, despite it's shaky launch day. Combat is enjoyable and the graphics are great. This is what a decent taming game should look like on PC and/or console, instead of the 3DS-like port we received in Sword and Shield. I doubt Temtem will ever become as big as Pokemon, but they have certainly shown that a team of 18 people can do a better job than one of the biggest video game franchises in history. Expand
