Compared to the first game, this game is simply on another level. There's way more stuff to do and the story's really picked up the pace. I loved getting the assassin tombs, it reminds me of myself as a kid imagining the best way to parkour a place when I'm bored. My only complaint is that the game is kinda janky control wise. I can't count how many times Ezio did a dumbass jump and got myself killed or have to redo a section.

replayed it as an adult - I think it's cute game with follower pokemon but kanto is really meh kind of an overrated feature especially with how they went about it. The wild pokemon are so low level its really just more gyms to beat using the same team you already have from the elite 4. The concept of fighting Red is really cool but he is way too overleveled. By the time I could access him all my pokemon were still 30 levels below his. So the only viable strategy is grinding your ass off (which is boring) or pumping your pokemon full of stat boosters and sweeping which is also kinda boring. I think with better balance this would be a much better game.

Honestly this game was awful, the premise was alright but it quickly devolves into the most repetitive game of all time. To progress the story, basically you go into these towns to do the main missions but first you need to do 3 side quests which are all really just the same ones every time. The whole game you just repeat this a bunch of times until you get to the last hour or so of gameplay. It doesn't help that the combat is very basic and personally not that satisfying, there's not much incentive to do anything other than spam the attack button then counter when you can. The plot is mildly interesting but meh.
If you were hoping for another danganronpa like me you would be very disappointed. It's almost criminal how bored I was while playing some of the early chapters. The loop just isn't as fun as danganronpa. It doesn't help that there's a million loading screens and it loads just slow enough to piss you off. However, the last couple chapters were actually quite interesting so I'll give it a pass.
