As someone who only started really playing about a month ago, I'm really enjoying this game and the changes I've noticed. I originally played it 5 years ago on the Xbox but didn't really enjoy it, but after getting Odyssey on sale for the Steam Summer Sale, I say it was completely worth it. The little QoL changes and the new ships being added are always a nice bonus as well.

The summer that Pokemon Go released, my old high school friend group and I would ride around on a golf cart and only play the game. My neighborhood had a gym at the entrance and a PokeStop near my house so by the time we were done riding around, most of the neighborhood would have been ours.
