I find the story of shadow of valentia very interesting. Instead of letting you create an avatar, like these last games, it puts you in the shoes of two protagonists Alm and Celica in which their campaigns develop in parallel until they converge at certain points in the story.
It also brings us the possibility of exploring cities and dungeons. Something that hopefully will return in future sagas and all this accompanied by an epic soundtrack.
The negative point is the gameplay. Playably, both awakening and fates, with worse stories, have a better combat system.

También nos trae la posibilidad de explorar ciudades y mazmorras, algo que ojalá vuelva en futuras sagas, todo esto junto con una banda sonora épica.
El punto negativo es la jugabilidad. Jugablemente, tanto awakening como fates, con historias peores, tienen mejor sistema de combate.

The art for this game is insanely pretty, probably my favorite of any Fire Emblem game it's gorgeous.
As for the game itself, I like it a lot and want to play more of it. This is easily the most impressive of the Fire Emblem remakes and the presentation is absolutely fantastic compared to any of their other games. On top of that, the localization is fantastic. I love the voicing in this game, I love the writing in this game, and it was a very pleasant surprise after coming from whatever the heck happened with Fire Emblem Fates (and to a lesser extent, Awakening).
It's neat, one of my gold standards for what a remake can be.

Artistically and writing wise maybe the peak of the series. The way this game expands on the world characters and story of the original is lovely in most all instances. The gameplay is perhaps too faithful to the clunkfest of Gaiden, but I have always had a bit of a soft spot for the way this game plays. The presentation is the real star here though.
(Review from 2017) This might be one of my favourite Fire Emblem's. Mila's Turnwheel is an addition that should be added to every other Fire Emblem going forward, and the story and characters have excellent voice acting and narrative. The game does have a few parts that are a bit of a slog (when you're on the map getting enemies thrown at you when you move), and the end game is long as hell, but the rest is great.
(Addendum) This game was my third highest on the 3DS by average play time (over 4 hours per session) which says something about engrossed I was in this game.
