One of my fondest memories was spending hundreds of hours playing the original Pokémon games.  Nexomon, while having a lot of similarities to Pokémon, feels like something unique.  Something special.  I spent pretty much most of my free time playing this instead of actually gaming systems.  It was actually something that pulled me in so much that I spent a couple nights where I only got about 3 hours of sleep before work.  If you’re looking for something to remind you of the good ol Pokémon days, or even just a good game for younger kids that haven’t jumped into similar games yet, this is an amazing choice.  The humor is spot on, they have amazing references to other pop culture things, and the game is very self aware it’s a game.  The story is actually pretty nice and engaging as well. 



There are only a handful of faults that I can find, and most of that has to do with the cash shop in a paid game.  Nothing in there is needed, so you can ignore it, but it is annoying because you will have two big buttons on the top right hand side the whole time you’re playing.  These buttons take a lot of space and are only there to make sure you’re aware there is a cash shop.  The game is so good that you’ll forget they are there for most of your play time, but when you notice it, it’ll get under your skin.  The game is so good that I would honestly just pay for a full $20 release.
