Hypothesis: the time loop ruins any sort of fun to be had in this game, stretching 5 hours worth of content into 25 hours of "where am I going? what am I doing?". Other than that, quite good.

Nice art style and ok music that carries an extremely frustrating, outdated, and buggy gameplay experience. The few moments I was having fun or thought "hey, this is dope!" were quickly ruined by poor controls and horrible design choices. Hoping that JSR3 will take the best aspects from both games and make a truly perfect skating game.

Mixed bag: amazing art design and nice atmosphere bogged down by a half baked game with too much backtracking. If you could warp between shrines I would bump my rating a full star (the backtracking is that bad)

Lots of fun; even though it's flawed, still has lots of charm and unique ideas

(1-ALL 1CC) So much fun; beautiful and charming graphs and some fast tight shooting in a short package. Absolutely recommend!

Starts strong and has its high points, but eventually devolves into very frustrating gameplay! I had to finish the game on god mode and it crashed before the ending. I see how this would have been groundbreaking, but I lack the skill set to derive any joy from it.

Besides some annoying missions that felt more like chores, amazing game with lots of charm, wit, and charisma

Lots of fun; like a little miniature version of Ghosts n' Goblins that you can hold in your palm!

Every enemy in this game has an attack where they throw a rock that instantly kills you (stopped at Maria)

Great start for the series, though it starts to lose itself in the second half (c'mon guys! we don't need this many railgun levels!).

Sorry but I have to shelf this one for now and maybe come back to it in the future. Nothing I hate more than games that constantly hold your hand and barely even let you figure things out yourself. Shame since it has an amazing aesthetic and phenomenal artistry. Unfortunately fails as a game imo (but what do I know, anyway)

Amazing story (par some yakuza familial connection confusion; a family tree would have been nice!) with some alright gameplay and some of the worst side content ever
