2017 – Game of the Year — Pokemon GO
['Roy Berman']
Mutantfrog Travelogue
A lot of really fun games came to my attention, including Battle Royale games (I haven’t played the real PUBG yet, but there are a couple of knock-offs that I have liked)…But one game has stood above all others, and that game is Pokemon GO.
It turns out there is a LOT going on in this game that I had no idea about.
Some of the fun elements include:Catching new Pokemon – Right now there are 300 some-odd Pokemon that you can catch with various strengths and rarity.
Figuring out the Pokemon stat system – Every Pokemon caught has a CP value, level, and HP, but these are abstractions from their “real” stats, which is a system too complicated to get into here.
There are a lot of incentives to get out and explore in the game – you can go find Pokemon, battle in gyms, and walk to hatch eggs.
