Fire Emblem Heroes is what I'd consider my favorite gacha. Very, very friendly rates and gameplay that mirrors that of the actual games means I can have some SRPG fun whenever I want. While it's true there are other gachas with very high rates, I haven't found any others that had gameplay I enjoyed as much as I enjoy Heroes'.
This game needs a much bigger western scene, it quickly became my favorite fighter of all time and I'm finally understanding what all the hype is about. 180 unique suits with a very deep meta, MBON will constantly make you feel like you're improving. If you enjoy fighting games at all, even just arena fighters, you'll come out loving this.
Platinumed this game around launch. I'm surprised to see how hyped this game became around a year after it came out, because when I played it I was really underwhelmed. I'm giving it an above average score, though, because the plot was pretty decent. Just forget the terrible strategy part exists and you have yourself a fine enough VN with nice mechs here and there.
Really underwhelming all around. Awakening happens to be one of my least favorite games in the franchise, but it still has its ups. Characters range from one dimensional to alright, the OST is good, the balancing completely revolves around how you build your protagonist and how you use pair-up, and the plot is nonsense.
Three Houses was a huge step up from the 3DS generation, barring Echoes, and I'd even argue it's almost good enough to be one of my 5 favorite games in the franchise. As a matter of fact, the game as good enough to warrant me doing all routes back to back on launch. This isn't to say the game is perfect though, Golden Deer is a mediocre route, Edelgard's route was rushed, and the timeskip itself is rushed pretty bad. Still, the plot, gameplay and music outweigh the cons.
