82 average through 24 reviews so far! Almost every single review is an 8 or 8.5 except EGM which gave it a 10?!

Positives
Nostalgic Fun - A great callback and expansion to the original N64 game.
Sense of Discovery - Seeing Pokemon in the wild and discovering new interactions is charming and, occasionally, thrilling.

Negatives
Repetitive Progression - Many critics felt the game became a little grindy.

EGM - 10/10
New Pokmon Snap might be one of the most thoroughly pleasant games that's come out for the Switch, if not ever. While the core gameplay is the same as it was in 1999, everything about the 2021 game is better. The environments are visual delights, the Pokmon are lovingly recreated, and the progression and pacing are just right. If the hobby of gaming has started to feel like a second or third job, then New Pokmon Snap might just be the vacation you need.

IGN - 8/10
New Pokmon Snap is a photography game with occasionally clunky progression, but which is eager to show off its delightful subjects and let them surprise you.

Game Informer - 8.5/10
The thrill of nabbing the perfect shot never dulls, but the repetition of traveling through the same environments sometimes grows weary

Kotaku
New Pokmon Snap is pretty magical as well. It takes the unique formula of the 1999 original and expands on it just enough to feel like a completely new adventure, without diluting the simple joy of riding and snapping photos of impossible creatures.

VG247 - 4/5
If youre the sort of player who got really mad about the national Pokedex in Sword & Shield, you might also bemoan the level of content here. But I think this is plenty, delivering far more than the original and with a whole lot of replay value its just a shame the developers felt the need to stretch it out artificially to justify what theyve managed to build.

NintendoLife - 8/10
If, like us, you've been waiting a significant chunk of your life for a sequel to Pokmon Snap, then you're in luck; New Pokmon Snap brings back almost everything that made the original special and fleshes it out into a much more elaborate game. This is something you can sink some serious time into and while there are some minor frustrations and pacing issues in the story, playing freely at your own pace is a pure joy. The original has gone down in history possibly as Pokmon's greatest spinoff, and it may have just been dethroned.
