This game rules, guys.
I played it it twice in a row thanks to the arcade mode lol

Truly the first strand-like game

This is my in-between meetings game. Might not stick with it, but I've been playing it almost every weekday for at least 10 minutes so I thought I'd add it here.

welp, I switched over to Emerald on my 3DS. Therefore, this is getting shelved.

A lot of the dialogue stunk. It seems like it was written for story illiterate people. Like the amount of times people just repeat what someone else said was wild. While this did bog down a lot of the major plot moments, I loved this game.

My 3ds was dead when we had to run to the hospital to deliver our first child so this was my I-can't-sleep-but-I'm-bored game. It's SUPER good!

My first runs were sub 10 minutes, but after some time I had a 30 minute run that was so good.

i didn't very far into this. I may pick it back up and finish the trilogy at some point in my life, but not right now

I'm shelving this for the foreseeable future. I really want to wrap it up un 2024, but it's not the kind of game I want to be playing with a Newborn.

I played this game with my wife and had a WONDERful time!
We yelled, we screamed, we cheered.

This is my: I don't feel good today game.

I started it back in August 2023 when I had covid. I LOVED it, but the shadow world got really difficult for me so I just bounced off of it. I picked it up again after a regularly scheduled IV treatment that both keeps me alive and makes me feel funny. I spent the entire treatment playing Golden Sun and when i got home I was feeling bored of GS. so I picked this up again.

I might keep up with it and finish it in a little bit, but I think this being always on the back burner is pretty nice. Like not burning your favorite candle so you can bust it out when it matters most. It's my comfort food.

I really liked this. Writing was funny, and the gameplay was fun.
My biggest issue is having to play with audio and the fact you have to kill your hands to play it.
Freaking great though.

My thoughts on a very specific aspect of this game's design - Running Away
