The spiderman 2018 and miles morales formula taken to the extreme, incredibly fun gameplay with its new traversal + combat tools and mechanics along with a really solid story to go with it.
Sadly I felt it didnt quite hit the emotional peaks of the first 2 games and it also felt a ton shorter. Overall, I heavilly enjoyed it, please change up the formula a little in the next game🙏

most of the story spent being given exposition and some terrible difficulty spikes aside, the overarching story along with the last few chapters were just incredible.
Ichiban and the cast quickly became some of my favourites ever, some party members lacking a little chemistry during the main plot so i'm very glad about them returning in the sequel.
This game was a massive risk for the series to take and yet it was executed near perfectly as a 'reboot'.

A beautiful yet overambitious epic. The only flaws exist in disc 1 with dungeons and long portions being extremely boring, feeling like a rough attempt from a dev fresh off final fantasy. While despite disc 1 still being fun and having a lot of great characters, arcs and moments, disc 2 showed the game's true colours. The momentum the game needed - THE XENO came into play and it showed that this game has one of the greatest outlines for a story of all time. I, like many others, strongly wish the game had put more effort into this stretch of the story over disc 1 but despite this, the dodgy presentation of disc 2 didnt hold it back at all.
For what it was for the time and how the outline of perfect works still holds up among the most well thought out pieces of fiction ever told, it's safe to say Takahashi had a masterpiece in his hands with this one. I'm glad he has the chance to recreate it through Xenoblade but deep down, I hope this version of his universe gets to see the light someday. 9.5/10

This review contains spoilers
need to divide my thoughts on this one
pros:
-I absolutely loved the style
-the soundtrack is great although it gets repetitive very fast
-very solid main cast (beat in particular).
cons:
-gameplay was great in concept but actually terrible in all the options they give you, I found myself situationally switching between handheld and tv mode for different bosses. It was so close to doing something interesting pretty well.
-mostly unfun boss fights as a result of this
-kind of anti climatic ending that also didnt make much sense (I need to read up on a lot but as someone who knew that certain character should be suspected (didnt know what they were), I was very let down that the game just ended after the reveal.
I have a lot of researching into the bonus content to do because I really want to like this game but maybe the sequel will do it for me

Very fun game as a fan of Melody of Memories, just a straight step up in terms of gameplay. No real flaws with the game itself aside from the typical DLC track plague and maybe some missed opportunities with song choices but thats just how it is. It also feels like it doesnt run too great sometimes on switch but that could be on my end.
TLDR: Fun gameplay, good music 👍
