Convincing friends to play this game with me is pretty difficult with the current reviews on steam. People are already skeptical of a pokemon clone, without a rave review what is gunna convince them this is worth their time over pokemon? Especially when the price is currently around £30 and I've heard it's going up and there is a planned paid battlepass on top of that. I really love this game and have sank 400 hours into it and would love to revisit it with a friend or two, but i likely won't because no one wants to risk picking up right now. The battle pass needs to go (or something similar) to change the reviews and get people who've never played excited about the game. Having poor reviews days before release is not a good look.

It's indeed a problem, but unfortunately not one we can control. The price is only going up for around 3 dollars and its equivalent in local currencies, and the battle pass is fully and only cosmetic. Buying one and completing it will provide enough currency to buy the next one (thus creating a cycle of endless free battle passes for people who play a lot). It's meant to cover server costs and ensure a long life for Temtem. Many of the reviews haven't looked into any of this, and there's people who are automatically opposed to any sort of battle pass, which is very unfortunate because the pass won't affect the rest of Temtem's quality and good features.

It'd be great if those who have played and liked it leave a good review, and we'll do our best to make the goodness of Temtem known so people want to give it a chance.
