Temtem is great as a MMO-lite creature collector, it just never got its chance to really shine It was weighed down by the early-access launch (and some updates iirc) being plagued by server issues and it also spent too much time in early access since it was a bit ambitious for the size of the dev team And that coupled with it not being intended as a live-service type game means it doesn't really hold much of a playerbase nowadays and you can feel it a little in certain postgame activities and some of the mmo elements But that doesn't actually mean you're missing out on much content at all, just lairs and pvp, which are only a couple of the postgame activities and they're still possible to play to some degree But none of that actually says much about Temtem as a game, which I have almost entirely good things to say about (though it may not be for everyone) Temtem is very openly and lovingly inspired by Pokemon and still manages to create its own style through it's gameplay and art style and in it's quirky writing The battle system is very tactical and coordinated and doesn't have rng attached creating a strong foundation Then add the Temtems and their unique abilities and moves as well as all the other battle features (like items and types and statuses and the synergy system) all bringing their own fun and depth to the battles I personally think that the story brings a good level of difficulty as you move through it in a way that encourages interacting with some of the nuances and complexities of the battle and team building systems, though it doesn't demand it And there's a good mix of endgame activities that do and do not require you to build and train you own team I think Temtem strikes a very fair balance of difficulty and grind "as an MMO-lite game* but its also the only creature collector I've been this invested in so I'm not sure how the grind level compares on that side My only big complaint is that some of the levels and side quests can feel a bit grindy and long, making playing through the story drag out for longer than it needs to (it can take a *while*) I think Temtem's art style is pretty cute personally, I enjoy how its smooth and bright and somewhat simplistic, it manages to be reminiscent of pokemon despite being distinctly its own style (And the music is great and captures a similar feeling) I just love how thematic and adorable the temtem designs are and how they fit into the environments they can be found in And the lumas are such gorgeous variants of the tems, i love the luma effects (and the umbra effect is cool if you're into that I guess but have fun getting those) As for the writing and story, the story is perfectly decent and the writing is very self aware and referential to a lot of pokemon/creature collector tropes in a silly and affectionate way It may not be for everyone but I enjoyed it Temtem also has a few QOL features and systems that are just natural and player friendly that make it feel crazy that some other games are missing them Plus there's some of the classic creature collector features like an arcade and fishing, because those are mandatory And theres pronouns which is always good to have Oh and the story and world can all be played with a friend! (though only some endgame activities support it and I've heard it can be buggy) I'm just a big fan of Temtem, its very enjoyable and worth playing regardless of the state of the MMO side of the game I always felt like it deserved better but was held back by its developmental struggles, its my personal favorite creature collector Its just a delightful love letter to Pokemon and creature collectors in general, its very special to me

I'mma be honest: the game is good but it's not for everyone. If you like Pokémon and come into this expecting you're going to have a fun time, here me out first. This game is slow, a lot of dialogue and a lot of side-quests. I like Pokémon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness but they haven't aged well and this game feels like those games but with more content and more endless dialogue. I never read most of it and devs know some people just wanna play the game instead of engaging with the story so the text is fast as hell and can also be skipped in its entirety which is an amazing detail to be very grateful about. I think this game is more for the old people who loved the grinding in the old games. The game is not easy but it's not hard, you just have to accept you will lose sometimes. The game gives you a type chart, which is cool, but you will have to learn it while you play the game; I screenshotted it and I always have my game windowed with it next to it because it's easy to get confused with Pokémon typings. I want to emphasise getting confused with Pokémon matchups is not a bad thing, I'm just warning you because new game= = new type chart, don't come expecting you'll roll the game because if you do, you're gonna get ran through the mud. This game requires patience. What do I mean by that? Well, this comes some negative aspects: - When I check the Temdex, the creature encylopedia, it does not tell you where the habitat of its creatures are. Painful but you can deal with it because, at the very least, most creature are found in places you would expect them to be but that is not an excuse, rather a workaround. - This game doesn't have "modern RPG" experience system. Temtems will not receive experience points unless they participate in battle. This is not a bad thing per se but that leads to grinding in some occasions in case you can get stuck in a difficult part. I'm aware Temtem gives you the exp cloak thing but it's still kinda grindy. CLARIFICATION: Take this aspect as a good or bad on your own. I used to grind Audinos in PokémonBW/B2W2 or use the VS Seeker in Platinum but as I grew older I got tired of those things and I realised that if developers want to make a game challenging, they can whether there is grinding or not so I'm not a grind = good type of fan. - Adding to the point above, the game is stingy with money in my opinion. You will most likely have money for potions, temcards, repels, you know? But the clothing is INSANELY expensive for the amount of money trainers give you. If you want to have a good experience, just do not buy clothes if you can afford them. Save that money only for useful items because spending it in a cosmetic will likely result in regret. - I don't like making comparisons to Pokémon but this is a genre and Pokémon is the most famous game so bear with me when I say that I'm not implying this game is better or worse. The creatures are really cool in my opinion, so don't be put off by them, I think the way these are designed can be different from Pokémon but that's a good thing if you want to experience something entirely new, sort of what BW were at their time. - The artstyle is gorgeous. I can not be more happy with how that cartoonish/Zelda wind waker/cell-shading style looks, it's insane how look it goods, for real. And the battle effects are so vivid and colorful. I do like the artstyle a whole lot. I know there's still a lot of the game ahead of me but with 10hrs+ in I can already see how the experience is going to be. I hope my thoughts were useful to you all. And if you decide to buy and play the game, believe me, get the following creatures: - Kaku -> Saku - Ganki -> Gazuma Believe me, they are insanely useful. Conclusion: This game is a mixbag for me. I don't regret buying it because I am enjoying it a lot despite its shortcomings but it would be unwise not to warn people who might be interested in it of its shortcomings because these can be real dealbreakers for people. It's slow, some places have two thousand trainers (like in Pokémon games and yeah this not a good thing in none of the games), it has a lot of boring dialogue but damn, the battles, when they don't come in like 7 in a row when you want to explore, are hella fun, art is pretty, creatures are cool, defiiculty is challenge and tight, don't expect to stomp on enemies even if you are 5 or 6 levels above, the game demands your attention and patience and overall I'm sad it's a MMO but anyway. I'm enjoying it, have a good day, reader.

It's pretty mid Good animation and Design tem tem are nice Gameplay is too slow. Everything is too tanky, you barely ever have enough stamina, tem tem barely have any type variety. You can be 30 level above a tem tem, hit it with a super effective move, have a item to boost damage and still barely do over 50% of the tem tem health Rival is annoying. NPC won't shut up. Breeding has a fertility system that somehow is even more grind than the game inspire by TOO MUCH GRIND

Got it on sale for 12 bucks. Figured id give it a shot at that price, and honestly i was really surprised at how much i liked it, given all the bad reviews. Scratches the pokemon itch while also being able to play with my friends. But also separates itself enough to not just feel like a clone. Which I also have 4 friends who are playing so they may affect how i see things. The game isn't perfect but right now that seems to be an impossible task for games to get everything right. Some crashes and bugs here and there, especially UI issues in co op. But simply restarting your game basically fixes anything. There's NO micro-transactions anymore and everything is obtainable with time and a little luck. --HUGE tip id give to anyone who is new is to go online and find and use all the active codes in the redeem spot in the menu. (This code in particular was hard to find but will give you the full 2000 feathers to start your game off with pro season of your choice or just so you can get something nice in the shop) - G9K7-915M-4Q1K-H9RS

Like pokemon but with good multiplayer. Felt like you are actually completing the story with someone else. Would recommend if you have someone else to play with, though get it on sale.
