Beast of Reincarnation struggles to bloom in mixed reviews

Beast of Reincarnation struggles to bloom in mixed reviews

Pokémon developer Game Freak's new action RPG, Beast of Reincarnation, is garnering a mixed reception from critics. While reviewers praise its exhilarating combat, distinctive mood, and surprising soul, many feel the overall package is a bit of a mess.

IGN notes the game has "some great ideas blossoming here and there, but they can be hard to spot among the weeds." Eurogamer echoes the sentiment, calling the game "messy and muddled" but salvaged by its strengths.

PC Gamer highlights the game's "parry-centric" combat as "often excellent," while Push Square points out that, despite presenting itself as a Souls-like, it's "not as intimidatingly difficult" and is doing its own interesting things.
