While it skews a little older, we’re hardly in gritty reboot territory. Rather, we return to an old stomping ground with a game that’s closer to the apparent – and oft-mooted – ideal of a singleplayer MMORPG (if that isn’t a contradiction in terms). Hisui is Generation IV’s Sinnoh, in a time long before it gained its modern name. Its proximity to remakes Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl both in terms of release date and setting throw the game’s bold shifts into sharper relief – and allows Game Freak to reference the region’s history and use the player’s familiarity with the setting to its advantage. Characters are sufficiently fleshed-out that it matters little if you’re unaware of their descendants, but it’s fascinating how some personalities diverge from expectations.
