Pokémon Go is an augmented reality app where you catch Pokémon around you, which is pretty much the entire concept of the game. It is a barebones Pokémon game with the only difference being the amount of Pokémon you can carry and the way you make your Pokémon stronger through candy. In Pokémon Go, you walk around real places, trying to find certain areas called Pokestops that give you items. You try to catch Pokémon around you and try to take over gyms for one of three teams that you decide to join in the game.

Sounds fun right? (It actually is pretty fun until you realize how much money you’ve spent on a free game). It’s a pretty diverting game overall but there are negatives, such as constant GPS tracking which drains your battery very quickly. Another big issue is the difficulty spike with catching Pokémon when you hit level 20 later in the game. The combat in the game isn’t very fun, but it gets the job done. All you do is swipe left and right to dodge attacks and tap the screen to attack enemy Pokémon.

Overall Pokémon Go is a fun game, but it has some issues that need to be fixed if the creators of the game want people to keep playing.
