Overall i enjoyed the game, especially the first half. The fights were too long in my opinion and could honestly been cut in half, but i loved the difficulty and the way the game forced me to use every single one of my resources optimally to not die. The syestem of having only one full heal per vending machine was very smart and it kept me from "heal scumming" which would have completley destroyed the difficulty and pacing of the game. The story was nice and simple and i absolutley loved tabs, great guy all around.
I think the game overstayed its welcome a bit with the lengths of the fights and overworld traversion. And if the game had been condensed a bit more i could easily see myself giving this game 3.5 stars or maybe even higher. But overall i liked it and if you have the patience to go through the fight i would definetly say the 3 hours i spent on this game were worth it.
