New Pokémon Snap Reviews
New Pokémon Snap is a great break, during which you feel that the world is completely fine, because you are in a line of cute Pokémon. It's definitely not a game I'd play 100 hours or all day, but dedicate an hour here and there when I'm not in the mood for Zelda or Smash Bros. It sounds just great and I'll be happy with New Pokémon Snap sometimes come back to take some nice photos and then you don't turn it on again for two weeks.

I loved the idea of New Pokémon Snap and it works great for what it's too simple, repetitive and very limited for a game in which the central mechanic is a photo mode.

New Pokémon Snap may not share the same circumstances as the 1999 title, but can bring different strong cards on the table.

New Pokémon Snap is sure to please fans of the original and has a good balance of gameplay suitable for players of any age, meaning those who grew up with the original Pokémon Snap have a sequel worthy of being handed down to the next generation as well.
With how long we all waited, a new Pokemon Snap game long felt like a long-shot. But even more unlikely? Living up to what we wanted the game to be. New Pokemon Snap isn’t perfect, but it’s smartly-built and worth the time it asks of you.
Despite my issues with the game, I really did enjoy New Pokémon Snap. Even after completing the game’s storyline, there’s still a ton more to do after the credits roll. To this old Pokémon fan, this is a must-own title. If you love photographing wild creatures and exploring a vibrant new region, this is the game for you. And if you really want to feel like you’re a budding photographer, play the game using the optional motion controls, swinging the Switch around like a giant camera. Now to spend hours and hours more to fill out my Photodex and unearth all the secrets of the Lental region!
New Pokémon Snap is a game for players exhausted by the franchise’s increasingly complex RPG titles. It’s low-key but rewarding, and its laid back, violence-free approach puts a welcome focus back on the design and behaviour of each Pokémon.
In 1999, Pokémon Snap was released for the Nintendo 64. One of the first console-based games as a spin off for the Pokémon series, and featuring Pokémon rendered for the first time in real-time 3D, it remains a fond memory for many. It was something unique and much different from the mechanics in the main line titles, with first-person rail shooter gameplay.
New Pokémon Snap is a visually stunning game that suffers from a lack of innovation. There are a couple of welcome additions in the gameplay. However, it forgoes key elements that made the original so successful.
I really wish New Pokémon Snap was a bit more and that I could roam those worlds freely. That graphics were better. However, it's one of the most innovative experiences that I've played so far this year.

New Pokémon Snap comes incredibly close to being the perfect sequel, but it falls just short of attaining that mantle.
If you’re somebody that is looking for more substance there is a lot to be desired, and you likely will not find it worth the price tag. That being said however, I still recommend Pokemon Snap. It’s a delightful experience that embodies what the original game intended to create and amps it up to 11. Picking it up on sale would be best, but if you cannot wait that long and really want a laid back experience, it’s a worthy purchase. Also, if you placed your bets on Pyukumuku for Pyukumuku V Wailmer, I feel sorry for you.
New Pokémon Snap is one of the best Pokémon spin-offs, and one of the best games on the Switch.
New Pokémon Snap is the successful reincarnation of the original Pokémon spin-off from 1999, which not only looks wonderful, but also depicts an authentic Pokémon world. While New Pokémon Snap will fully satisfy the collecting mania of any Pokémaniac, those of you who have trouble getting excited about the franchise anyway will probably have rather little joy with the title. Nintendo doesn't take any big risks with the sequel and delivers exactly what fans have come to expect: an unexciting rail shooter with great backdrops and thoroughly staged Pokemon acting. You can certainly criticize the game for that, but Pokémon enthusiasts will probably still get their money's worth.

"New Pokemon Snap" has a variety of interactions that cannot be felt in other Pokemon games focused on capture and battle. However, if you focus on collecting, the various systems will annoy you.

New Pokémon Snap is a wholesome reinvention of the original, bringing the best bits forward into the sequel. We’ve battled Pokémon but being able to leisurely snap photos and these creatures in their habitat is as fun as capturing them all.
It’s a calming, relatively tranquil game with a huge addictiveness at its core and a desire among players to come back and try to snap an ever-better picture perfect moment.
Although it repeats itself from time to time and price is a little bit high, it's a must-have game for Pokemon fans.
