“New Pokémon Snap” feels like a grind, even though it’s short. And while the grind can be fun in many games, in this one it sometimes feels a little empty, at least until the next map is unlocked. On some visits to maps, I snapped one-star, two-star and even four-star images of a new Pokémon. But I could only select one of those to be included in my Photodex album, meaning if I wanted to work toward completing the page, I would need to return to that map again. And while Professor Mirror is highly complimentary of the photos he reviews, his comments start to feel stale after countless repetition.
