Starts off really well, but my word does it drag for the last 20 hours or so. There's a point in Tales of Arise where it could have ended and I wouldn't have had any complaints, but then inexplicably it decides to go on an endless spree of non-stop cutscenes, skits and banter. The dungeon design takes a turn for the seriously bad as well. I was skipping everything I could in the last few hours, and I can't remember the last time I did that in a JRPG.

Shame, because as I said, it starts off strong.
