A great game marred by the trademark issues of its series.

I absolutely love how BiS implements its map design, it has fewers areas than previous games yes, but they're so expansive and so full of optional areas to expore. At times (specially during the mid game portion of the game), BiS feels more like a metroidvania or a classic zelda game than just your straight forward RPG.

Sadly, BiS is hurt by the same issues other games in the M&L series also suffer from, constant nagging partner characters who feel the need to tutorial you on every single new thing that shows up for minutes on end. It gets real annoying real fast.

Its overall a great game with great level design, great battle design, beautiful artstyle, funny and charming writting, only hurt by the need to mash through dialogue every so often when the game feels the need to treat you like this is the first game you've ever played.
