Getting a shot of everything requires over 800 unique shots, which is miles beyond the Nintendo 64 version. What’s more, each monster has four different poses that can be snapped. The original game only featured 62 Pokémon, while this one has over 200. There’s way more to take pictures of this time around too. It’s a simple solution that adds structure for those who are put off by the freeform nature of its predecessor. There are even “boss fights,” where players have to put their reaction time to the test to snap rare photos of giants like Milotic. The biggest difference is that the sequel has a narrative through-line about a mysterious glowing Pokémon phenomenon, which brings more specific goals and progression to the game. While the original game was a short curiosity that could be 100% completed in six hours, New Pokémon Snap finds several ways to buff the play time. But as far as Pokémon games that try to appeal to casual fans go, it’s an ingenious twist on the franchise that turns something we do every day into the world’s most intuitive gameplay hook. Like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it’s a cozy game that plays best when kicking back on the couch in handheld mode on a lazy weekend day. The slow, laid-back pace isn’t going to work for everyone. Each tool brings a layer of experimentation to the game that constantly rewards curiosity with consistently delightful results. Play a little music box and a Chandalure might twirl around in response. Toss a Fluffruit at a Pokémon and they’ll gleefully munch it, giving players a new pose to capture. To help players get their perfect shots, the game offers little tools that create different interactions. It’s an ingenious twist on the franchise that turns something we do every day into the world’s most intuitive gameplay hook. It’s like taking a tour through a series of wholesome nature reserves. It’s a photography simulator where players leisurely ride across the new Lental region and snap pics of creatures as they pass by. Take a picture, it’ll last longerįor those who never grew up with a game that’s already old enough to drink, New Pokémon Snap is a first-person shooter– but not in the way you’re thinking. With tons of courses to explore and interactions to discover, it’s a laid-back amusement park ride that’s a worthy evolution of the original. New Pokémon Snap is a delightful sequel that’s a perfect fit for the social media era. While it’s a tragedy that Pokémon aren’t real, the photography simulator is a suitable vacation into their world. Rather than battling monsters, it lets players simply dive into their habitats and observe every precious behavior. As a series (God, it feels good to finally call it a series), Pokémon Snap is almost the ideal implementation of the franchise.
