Source is great as well.

It’s Remedy’s engine.

Northlight is pretty good, but I guess it’s maybe not as optimised.

But the Pokemon I’ve never been a fan of. It just kind of feels like more Gen 1 Pokemon.

But that’s the best part!

In addition to this there is also occasionally the case where playing an extremely popular game right at launch lets you participate in the zeitgeist in a way you can’t really do if you wait a year and a half for a sale. I imagine whether this matters to you is extremely subjective, but I remember this being a big thing for me with both Elden Ring and BG3; being able to participate in discussions and discovery at the point in time when not everything about the game has been mapped out. Watercooler talk or chatting on Discord with others and sharing your respective findings during that early time when the Wikis aren’t filled in yet.
