Nintendo disappoint with yet another greedy DLC - again and again and again.
Look at Hollow Knight Silksong, Sea of Stars and even God of War Ragnarök: Amazing DLC's with bunch of amazing new stuff. For FREE!
I hope this strategy will bite Big N. in the ass and a new consumer- and fan- friendly era wil start someday. Stop breaking our hearts Nintendo, pls... </3

I’ve played Pokémon for over 15 years, and it is the first time in my life that I’ve felt the need to actually comment on the game hoping that it might change something, hoping that my review might refrain someone from buying this, but please, do not buy this DLC. As much as I thought Pokemon ZA was lazy with their insanely repetitive gameplay, Mega Dimension still managed to make it worse. You spend around 45 minutes of farming points in order to accomplish one tenth of the scenario afterwards, EVERY SINGLE TIME. The farm is ridiculously boring, and the scenario is genuinely just showing us a new Mega form to please the fans and make us forget of how bad the gameplay actually is. Oh and so is the post game :) Exactly the same thing, but there’s no “plot” (if we can call it that) behind the oh-so original legendary that we can catch every thirty minute. Please do not buy this DLC and do not encourage this studio any longer, things have to change because they cannot keep doing that.

Très fainéant. 2 nouveaux personnages, les nouvelles zones sont vraiment juste la ville qu'on a visité pendant 30h avant, avec un filtre gris. Le scénario est médiocre au mieux, il y avait plus de développement de personnages dans le jeu précédent. Des quêtes secondaires ont été ajoutées, elles ne faisaient déjà pas l'atout du jeu de base, et ils ont été constant sur ce point.
Petit point supplémentaire, normalement l'intérêt d'avoir des combats en temps réel est d'avoir des combats fluides, sauf qu'ici ils sont interrompus sans arrêt par des animations de méga évolution, en plus du délai qui la précède, ça rendant les combats de dresseurs assez pénibles. Et de façon assez similaire au jeu de base, les prétextes pour les combats sont assez brutaux et bidons, par exemple "il n'y a plus qu'une seule motte de beurre à paris, battons nous pour savoir qui l'aura", ou encore "je suis énervée donc je vais me battre".
Mais le pire point reste probablement la boucle de gameplay, si l'on exclue l'aspect bizarre des kcal qui servent de timer pour les dimensions, la boucle se résumé en "quelque dialogues statiques -> faire des donuts -> farm des points en faisant des missions, beaucoup de points -> méga férox". Les missions sont souvent des captures de pokemon, du ramassage d'objet et systématique détruire des pokeballs volantes. Le principal problème des points, si l'on ignore l'aspect inorganique qu'il peut avoir, c'est la quantité nécessaire, sur 10h, le dlc contient 8h30 de grinding pour avoir ces points.
Maintenant remettons dans le contexte, on parle d'un jeu qui coute déjà 70 euros, un mois avant son DLC, le jeu en lui-même était déjà assez médiocre, il était amusant sans excès. Sauf sur le prix. Mais à cela nous pouvons ajouter 30 euros pour le DLC, qui, si on est généreux, pourrait être considéré comme l'équivalent de l'ile d'isolarmure, la nouvelle map en moins. mais pour 5 euros de plus. Il rajoute du contenu, mais c'est faible vis à vis du prix, la meilleure conclusion est de dire que c'est fainéant et trop cher. Pour 30 euros ou moins il est possible d'avoir Silksong, ou Hadès 2 par exemple, selon moi il y a de meilleurs investissement à faire dans le jeu vidéo.

30€ pour ce machin sans aucun intérêt et répétitif comme jamais... Environnements quasiment tous identiques, système de donuts vraiment naze, même à 10€ ça ne vaudrait pas le coup, j'ai jamais joué à un DLC aussi vide et inintéressant tous jeux confondus... 0/10 : note sanction car inadmissible.

DLC médiocre
L'aventure de base du DLC est répétitif. Le contenu est faible.
On déconseille surtout au prix de vente beaucoup trop cher. Le DLC aurait du être dans le jeu de base. Pas pour rien qu'il avait été annoncé 1 mois avant la sortie. Nintendo nous vend un jeu en Kit.
Ca donne raison aux personnes qui boycott les jeux pokemons. Il serait temps que Nintendo respecte les joueurs

I'm trying to find some positives, but I can't find any, and I hate giving something a score of 0 (or 10), but it's a huge scandal to sell this content at the price it's being sold for.Uninteresting farming, absolutely no fun, and boring as hell. Move on.

Le scénario additionnel Méga-Dimension est arrivé le 10 décembre 2025 dans Pokémon Z-A, plusieurs semaines après une première vague de contenus cosmétiques sans réel impact. Cette fois, on parle bien du « vrai » DLC narratif, réservé exclusivement aux joueurs ayant terminé le jeu de base et vu défiler les crédits. Le message est clair : Méga-Dimension ne cherche pas à convertir les sceptiques, mais à prolonger l’expérience de celles et ceux déjà conquis.Relancer Pokémon Z-A après deux mois d’absence demande un petit temps de réadaptation. Les automatismes reviennent, le plaisir de capturer et d’optimiser aussi, mais les faiblesses du jeu de base ressurgissent rapidement. Et c’est précisément là que se situe le cœur du DLC : il ne corrige rien de fondamental. Il n’enrichit ni la structure, ni la mise en scène, ni la profondeur globale de l’expérience. Il s’agit avant tout d’un prolongement maîtrisé, mais conservateur. Comptez environ 5 à 8 heures pour le scénario principal, quelques heures supplémentaires pour le post-game et l’Extra **** prix, en revanche, interroge. Proposé à 29.90 CHF/EUR, sans distinction entre Switch et Switch 2, le DLC paraît onéreux au regard de ce qu’il apporte. Une réduction aurait sans doute facilité l’adhésion. Tel quel, une fois additionné au prix du jeu de base, l’ensemble tutoie dangereusement la barre des cent francs. D’autant plus que Méga-Dimension aurait très bien pu faire office de véritable post-game intégré, tant son contenu s’inscrit naturellement dans la continuité directe de l’aventure **** le plan narratif, l’extension introduit Anya et Hoopa, au centre d’une intrigue reposant sur des distorsions dimensionnelles menant à Extra Illumis, une version alternative de la ville. Le concept est séduisant sur le papier, mais peine à se matérialiser pleinement. Extra Illumis ressemble trop à Illumis pour provoquer un réel dépaysement, et le level design manque cruellement de variété. C’est sans doute la plus grosse occasion manquée du **** cœur du gameplay repose sur les failles dimensionnelles, des défis chronométrés demandant une certaine optimisation, notamment via un système de donuts aux effets variables. L’idée est correcte sans être passionnante, mais elle structure efficacement la progression. La difficulté est globalement en hausse, avec quelques combats exigeants face aux Pokémon Méga-Férox, réservés à Extra Illumis. L’ajout d’une dizaine de nouvelles Méga-Évolutions, d’un Extra Dex dédié et de Pokémon dépassant temporairement le niveau 100 apporte un vrai intérêt aux collectionneurs et aux joueurs les plus **** revanche, l’équilibrage est discutable : les Pokémon incapables de méga-évoluer deviennent presque inutiles dans ce contenu, poussant à composer des équipes très homogènes. Quelques bugs mineurs viennent également ternir l’expérience, sans toutefois la rendre **** final, Méga-Dimension n’a rien d’indispensable. Il s’apparente davantage à une très grosse mission secondaire qu’à un DLC marquant. Il ne rivalise ni avec les meilleurs contenus additionnels du marché, ni avec les extensions Pokémon les plus ambitieuses. Pour les fans assidus de Pokémon Z-A, il représente un prolongement correct, offrant quelques heures supplémentaires et de nouvelles Méga-Évolutions à collectionner. Pour les autres, difficile de justifier l’achat immédiat. Mieux vaudra attendre une promotion… ou simplement passer son chemin.

Nah this is shouldn't be a DLC, it really feels like a post game that have been cut from the base game, and sold it separately. I'm disappointed cause everything they use are the same assets and just reverted the color and add new pokemon. that's it nothing more, and the donuts new feature aren't that impressive, it feels almost the same as sandwich feature in scarlet and violet which is basically a cheat to get shiny, before having a shiny such a big accomplishment but now I felt nothing from getting new shiny pokemon. legendaries pokemon getting easier to get there's no secret or puzzle to get legendaries pokemon anymore like it use **** everyone who still support this pokemon, better stop now like I will stop supporting them now, this is my last straw. Good like finding a kid or parents spending $70, 80 or even $100 for a game, not to mention a console and an accessories.

Game Frick-U and Greed/Lazytendo did it again with the launch of this DLC. This game is much worse than ZA. Lazytendon't/Game Frick-U thought it was a good idea to cut the DLC from the base game, and still having the audacity to charge $30 for this disgusting game. The Pokemon game franchise is failing and it shows BIG TIME. At this point we, except the Nintendo fanboys should play Palworld at this time, and screw you Suetendo for ruining such a great game with your incompetent legal team!

I'm a huge Pokemon fan who even saw past underwhelming graphics, performance issues, lacking content etc in past Pokemon games (including the base game of Legends ZA) because I still had fun playing them.
The only major critizism I had with the base game was how grindy it was like the Night Sectors or getting the Shiny Charm.
And being grindy is exactly the reason why I think that this DLC is horrible: It just adds more grind. And that would not be a problem for me per se if the grind were fun. But the grind is not fun.
Navigating through the Hyperspace is not fun and the tasks you have to do within those dimensions are not fun and repetitive. The DLC is like 90% unfun grind and 10% stuff I actually care about.
The new Mega Pokemon designs are great though and there were some interesting parts to the story like references to ORAS.
But in conclusion the DLC was just not fun, it was boring, annoying and tedious. Huge step down from the DLCs of SwSh and SV

I honestly can’t believe this shipped. Game Freak really dropped the ball with this one.
The donut system is complete garbage. It’s nothing but a brainless hyper berry grind, and you don’t even get to target what you want. You just waste your time and hope the game decides to give you the right berries at the end. Who thought pure RNG rewards in a grind like this was a good idea?
And the missions are just as bad. The time limits are awful and ridiculously tight for no reason. There’s zero depth to any of it. Every mission boils down to “run around, catch everything, blow up the golden orb, leave.” That’s it. No strategy, no creativity, nothing.
On top of that, some missions are straight up broken. You can get thrown into dimensions with objectives that are literally impossible. Asking you to capture six different Pokémon species when only five can spawn is insane. When that happens, you lose your donut, can’t finish the mission, and don’t even get the golden orb. That’s not difficulty, that’s the game wasting your time.
It’s honestly embarrassing that this DLC released in this state.
Legends ZA is a solid 7.5 for me. This DLC is a 3 at best, and even that feels way too generous.

I mean it’s pretty good. The new megas (besides lucario z) are all good, and the shining hunting is kinda fun, but overall it’s not anything overly impressive.

This "DLC" is perhaps the most egregious example yet of Game Freak nickel-and-diming their dedicated fanbase, a blatant cash grab that should have been a mandatory, free update to the base game. It's impossible to review Mega Dimension without highlighting the fact that this is clearly content that was developed concurrently with, if not originally intended for, the main Pokémon Legends: Z-A **** story content, which requires completion of the main game to access, feels less like a post-game expansion and more like a missing final act. We're exploring the same confined Lumiose City, with the "new" areas being repetitive, randomly generated "Hyperspace Lumiose" portals. The gameplay loop of the DLC is functionally identical to the base game's main missions: complete a cutscene, farm survey points in recycled environments, battle a "Rogue Mega Evolution," and repeat. This structure feels padded out by pointless grinding and an annoying new "donut" system for temporary level **** main selling point—the new Mega Evolutions—only further solidifies the "cut content" argument. Key Megas that were inexplicably missing from the base game, such as Mega Sceptile, Blaziken, and Swampert, suddenly appear here. These should have been included from the start, not locked behind an extra $30 price tag. The simple fact that this DLC was announced even before the main game's release and followed a tight development schedule suggests a segmented release strategy rather than a genuine **** a full-priced addition, the content is anemic and overpriced. It offers no new Pokémon species, just returning ones to fill out a second Pokédex, and the overall experience is hollow. The game is still hindered by subpar visuals and a lack of depth that the base game was criticized for.Ultimately, Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension is a disappointing experience that demonstrates a worrying trend for the franchise. It's more of the same, for worse, and a prime example of why user skepticism about cut content is often warranted. Avoid this overpriced, lackluster extension of an already short game.

You can see this DLC was just cut from the base game for them to sell it later on. The price is also quite ridiculous, should be half the price and still would be expensive. What it offers; is more of the same in every way possible (reused assets, locations, pokemon from scarlet and violet, giving more megas to pokemon that don't really need or already have megas, etc.). Which by itself should be nice but the way they changed the system of progression for it to become a roguelite by adding an annoying and frustatring and very grindy and repetitive way to play the endgame with a useless donuts/timed portals system. They just want to make all their games become roguelite now. Guess they didn't learn the lesson with donkey kong mediocre dlc.
It is by far the worst pokemon DLC released and the most expensive, isn’t it ironic.

A really solid experience. Some of the new Mega's are amazing! But some of them were pretty disappointing. Korrina was a real cool editon and the legendaries were done really well here. The only negative is the price tbh. Should've been 20 instead of 30
