2 reviews from 2 criticsDetective Pikachu delivers a charming and innovative narrative-driven adventure that stands out within the Pokémon franchise. While some puzzles feel repetitive and the 12-hour runtime is short, the engaging characters and mystery gameplay make it a solid recommendation for fans.
“But between Detective Pikachu’s immaculately rendered Pokémon, a story with a big heart, and Ryan Reynolds’ whip‑smart, self‑aware performance as the title character, it’s easy to see why Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is super effective.”
