This week, Save State columnist Vincent Mahoney spent all of his time playing Pokémon Legends Arceus. And while a full review is in the works, he has some initial thoughts that he needs to share with the Pokemon community of fans.

CrossCode has a long history of awards that is especially impressive for an indie title. But that did not keep it from sitting on Vince’s backlist, until now. And he’s really glad he finally unwrapped this grand gift to gamers.
The first Save State of the new year is a bit of a dichotomy as Vincent takes advantage of the many end of year game sales. At first, things are dark and gloomy with Ender Lilies, and then they go white hot in Burnout Paradise.
