While I thouroughly enjoyed my time with this game, I've got a ton of issues with it. The biggest issues are the dungeons, and the lack of meaningful quests. Apart from these two issues, there were a few frankly poorly made boss encounters, but everything else was lovely. This is the best looking SMT game, maybe tied with persona 5, this game looks fantastic in every way. The characters are very enjoyable, although there weren't that many of them. The story, also felt smaller scale but I enjoyed the underground feeling of it. My biggest issue with the story is the fact that, just like soul hackers 1, this game does not make use of the fact that they are soul hacking. In soul hackers 1, I felt like more of a hacker at least, but thats giving a bit of credit. In this game the name "Soul Hackers" felt as tacked on as it did in the first game, and I wish they did more with the concept. The sabbaths were fun, although I wish they were a bit more complex, and not being able to negotiate with demons normally is a big kick in the foot for this game. Other then those issues, this game was lovely, and I'm looking forward too what the devil summoner series has in store, as seeing devil summoners in a setting where they are underground but not apocalyptic has been intriguing to me from the beginning!
