No, but seriously, Kan Gao gives us another masterpiece that caused many tears for me at least. The years of waiting were certainly worth it. I'm sad that I finished the game in one run, I wish the story would be a little longer so I had more time to enjoy it.

A little about the writing - it's beautiful. A story that at first seems to be completely new but then at the end shows how it is connected to the previous games from Freebird Games. Of course, that made me very happy because I'm a big fan of the classic To The Moon and the main characters from this game. But do not worry, if you have not played previous games, it will not stop you from playing Impostor Factory. However, I highly recommend getting to know the previous stories from To The Moon and Finding Paradise to understand Impostor Factory much better and feel, kind of, more connected to the story.

I do not know what else to say, if you have not played this game, what are you waiting for? I mean, you're seriously getting a cat and HE PROTECC. Believe me, you will not be disappointed.

One of really few games I played in my lifetime that made me so emotional.
I love the story, I love the main and side characters... I simply love this game!

I've been playing this game for 6 years and play even today. I started on PS3 and in 2018 I moved to a computer which I am playing on since then. You never get bored, which shows that it is a good game.

Much recommended!

I am a huge fan of Pokemon, so at start TemTem seemed to be a game incomparable to the classic. However, after almost 200 hours spent at the moment, I can confidently say that everything I wanted in the new generation of Pokemon (on Nintendo Switch) I found in this game.

The story is incomplete at the moment, which is not a bad thing as it is an EARLY ACCESS game. History doesn't have any WOW effect on me because I haven't really delved into it too much.
However, the function that made me happy was the ability to play with a friend in CO-OP mode, where together we can pass the "plot" thread. I admit that I was glad not enough that we got a Pocket Monster game with multiplayer, but also with the CO-OP function. Of course, there are bugs like black screen etc. but since the game is not over it cannot be taken as an immediate minus.

The appearance of the game is very candy and colorful like in the classic and the map itself is quite interesting and diverse. We have volcanic, water and desert terrain where each type of TemTem has an environment to suit it. Some places, however, could be slightly more decorated (to be exact, Kisiwa island from the latest update) where the creators had a lot more area to decorate and slightly say "play with". The first island of Deniz was in my opinion the most refined, which, unfortunately, cannot be said about the next islands.

The combat system (which is the main thing in such types of games) is much better for me than the classic one because instead of the traditional PP, we get a stamina system. That means that the player has to think more sparingly and tactically than using the same skill until "PP runs out".
Additionally, opponents (including the Dojo Masters) are a more difficult challenge for us and fully test our knowledge and skills that we have gained while playing this game. I can say that beating some of your opponents was much harder than beating the Indigo League team in the Pokemon Series.
I like it because it takes a lot more focus and doesn't hold the hand throughout the story as it is in the newest Pokemon parts. Of course, not everyone may find such a handicap optimal, but here it depends on the person.

The creatures themselves (the title TemTems) are quite interesting. The types of Temtems are obviously based on Pokemon, which is not a shock. Some Temtems can also be slightly modeled on Pokemon, but there are also those that are completely new to Pokemon fans.
The evolution system is something that I don't like. Instead of a specific level at which our creature evolves, we have the number of levels we need to level to trigger evolution. It takes a long time to evolve our TemTems, and with some I even lost counting how many levels I had left to trigger an evolution.
Personally, I hope that this system will undergo some kind of change or possibly be replaced with a more convenient one.

Despite these disadvantages, I can safely consider the game as 10/10. As for Early Acess, the creators showed the potential in this title and it gives a great chance for success.
The game is constantly developing where the players are a part of it because they can openly see the plans of the creators in the so-called "RoadMap" and express their opinions on Discord and other social media.

I recommend everyone to get TemTem if you are a fan of Pokemon and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. In addition, you get the game much cheaper than the price of the official release of the game. ♥

The game that touched and at the same time made me laugh at certain moments.
A wonderful story, a beautiful soundtrack that fits the game's climate and many characters who are surrounded by their own stories and problems.
What more could you want? :)

One of the best games that I played. :)
A worthy successor after Life is Strange! I recommend this game very much!
