Presentation is interesting but the gameplay is atrocious. In desperate need of a remake.

Best main line SMT I've played so far. The music is incredible and the combat is exceptionally fast-paced and satisfying especially in regards to the damage animations.
I appreciate that this instalment is more story focused in comparison to other games in the series, (thank you for actually making me care about each alignment rep), enhancing an already mechanically engaging game.

Decent and worth playing, but a lack of compelling characters and the amount of random encounters hold it back from being truly great.
