I really, really enjoyed my time with this game. I appreciated that I could do almost everything on a single, thorough playthrough. Other FE games either put major limits on seeing characters' support conversations, expect you to play the game 2-4 times to see all the story, or both. Awakening hits a happy medium where you can take your time on a single playthrough and not miss out. It's also quite forgiving to newcomers to strategy RPGs, or optionally quite hard if that's more your thing.

The storyline and characters are reasonably interesting, even if they aren't the deepest. And in the parts where they maybe aren't as fleshed out as they could be, the game neverthless does a good job of giving them enough juice to give the player incentive to add their own interpretations to things. I like the artstyle, and the music is excellent.

Also Robin is kind of gender. "Which one?" Yes
