Okay the gameplay is a little braindead and the map design is SUPER "mid budget studio"-core and I have a few rubs about how the final ending goes thematically but on the whole. Shit dude, he did it. Yoko Taro was able to hold back on his hateful urges just long enough to make a really deep, engaging, I'll say even beautiful game. The characters are great, the gameplay while previously mentioned a bit simple is still fun, the music is unbelievably beautiful. This one was really worth my time. Kinda wish I got to choose Gestalt though. just for funny

Bitches will tell you it's dogshit intentionally and not understand that a director can have creative ideas on how to mess with the player and also work with a studio that has no idea what video games even fucking are. Did Yoko Taro decide to lock the one ending that matters behind absurd completionist nonsense to punish completionists? Yeah, maybe. The soundtrack is definitely jarring and uncomfortable on purpose. Did Lord Emperor Taro-sama decide with his holy heart to have an unusable camera and to give the dragon a magic attack that blasts your speaker every single time and to make 50% of all fucking enemies completely immune to any kind of magic or any interaction with the core gimmick of the game? No, I think those decisions come from Cavia sucking at making games. A very interesting game held down by being borderline unplayable garbage.
The thing that stands out to me most about this game is the localization. It absolutely nails the gay discord shitpost goblin vibes so well that I swore for sure it was natively English. Outside of that, it's a game with really good writing, lots of endings, and really good writing. Really good writing. My favorite games are the ones that can make me laugh really hard one minute and make me feel like I'm about to vomit the next. This is one of those games.

I feel like "Among Us meets Danganronpa" is a bit cliche and it doesn't describe the game that well. That said, this game is a fucking masterpiece and if that description will get more people to play it, then so be it. This is Among Us meets Danganronpa. Play it. Play it now. Play it. I said play it. Play it.

Gacha bullshit gameplay wise but dude OF COURSE the best narrative in the franchise is in the fucking gacha bullshit mobile game I'd expect nothing less from this franchise. I think the fact that I'm nowadays only allowed to watch the cutscenes lets me be a lot nicer to it. But wow it's, it's really good. From a narrative perspective anyway. Elrena my beloved.
This could honestly have been called Kingdom Hearts 3 and people wouldn't flinch that much. It's not the peak of the franchise or anything, but ya know what! It's pretty great! It's not as fast and fun as 2 but the flowmotion system makes things feel smooth enough to still be fun. Also, c'mon. TWEWY. I'm easy to please here.
Hey why do they drop the G slur so many fucking times that's kind of weird right
