In New Pokémon Snap, you do not actively influence the Pokémon. You are a researcher who must photograph the monsters in various areas. While doing this, you travel automatically along a set route in the levels. You only need to use your camera and small items to take the best pictures.

This is also less static than you might think. The Pokémon move in the levels. With fruits and other items, you can try to animate the monsters into cool poses. This earns points and a high rating.

The highlight of the game is the world itself. Pokémon have probably never looked as good as this and the many secrets within the levels encourage you to replay them repeatedly. If you wish for more of nature in the Pokémon world, New Pokémon Snap is the perfect game.

Small tip: The predecessor on the N64 is available with the Nintendo Switch Online plus expansion pack subscription.
