I FEEL NAKED WITHOUT A GUN

Story is fun but stealth is way too forced

Not the most perfect MMO at first but clearly one of the most fun I've played. The gameplay is really nice once ya get used to, soundtrack varies but when it slaps, it slaps. Gaius is the best character of this first entry hands down.

This is without a doubt one of the best games ever done by Eidos Montreal.
The sheer content and exploration of things in this is just so good. (Knowhere chapter where you go around to find Cosmo is the best 3 hours I spent on just exploration).
The Huddle dialogue choice is a bit tricky tbh, sometimes it backfires on a very good fight but it's a very minimal thing (I got Rick Astley during the Fin Fang Foom boss, BEST SHIT EVER to play during a boss fight XD).
The dialogue choices and narrative of this blow the skyline of other games like wow.
10/10 this is my Game of the Year.

YEAH JUST LIKE THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM AND FALL
REPEAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN
KEEP THE FLAME ALIVE~!

Actual Review:
I love this game it maybe one of the better things to come out in 2021 (next to Guardians of The Galaxy) and it has an outstanding story, characters that are so damn likable and impressive gameplay.

Character wise: Alphen and Shionne are like bread and butter, they go so perfect together. Dohalim and Kisara are the Sunglasses duo, they just look so super smug and badass with them. Rinwell and Law, just fucking kiss already lmao xD
Also Hootle is love, Hootle is life (PROTECC THIS OWL)

This is maybe my 2nd favourite Tales of game (you'll never top Symphonia tho) but overall I'm glad Tales got back to being good after several questionable entries (Looking at you Zestiria and Berseria)

Amazing Musou game packing a great story and OST.
Also best girls and bois all around.

Personal Rant:

Having been 5 months since my dad died, this game has been a personal purgatory to me. Wanting to see a loved one again is what makes crying so damn hard but it won't bring them back.
Instead I have to look to the now and the future.
Keep on living, even with the pain.

Actual Review:

This game is the definition if dreams could kill you in your sleep.
Rei is my most favourite character in the franchise and I will not take any exceptions. I understood her pain and grief in wanting things to stay the same but deep down, we have to move forward, carrying the memories of those who we love and never forget them.
Also Kei sections are a literal pain like ugh hate that fucking fetch quest of the pieces also hurray for more Miku 8D

This review contains spoilers

To sum up the story of each protag:

Ren Hojo: Forgotten Promise/Lovers Regret

As the 3rd playable male character (if we include the forgotten one from Mask of the Lunar Eclipse), Ren is surprisingly an interesting character throughout this entry. He has quite the curiosity when it comes to
Shiragiku and Ose and ultimately is a closure to both of them in the form of Kunihiko Asou (THE CREATOR OF THE CAMERA OBSCURA).

Miu Hinasaki: Where's Mommy/WTF IS GOING ON HERE?!

Oh god this is where the story goes on full throttle on bullshit levels of breaking. So to make this as less confusing as possible. Miu is the child of Miku and Mafuyu (YES THE SAME MAFUYU WHO DIED IN FATAL FRAME 1 AND SOMEHOW IMPREGNATED MIKU AS A GHOST. That's right bitches we got ourselves an incest plot going on here. Something I've hilariously joked around friends and this fucking game made the impossible, possible XD)

And finally,
Yuri Kozukata: Suicidal Tendencies/Self Acceptance

Thanks to this entry and reviewing Yuris part of the story, she is my second favourite of the franchise next to Rei from Fatal Frame 3 (tho tbf they are both pretty damn relatable in how they live). She's in constant struggle to live and wanting to die cuz of her experiences with the supernatural (and the death of her parents), finding it hard to live but thanks to Hisoka (and Ose), who is a close friend to her, she finally understands that life isn't all that bad and when the finale hits she embraces Ose in a deep understanding that both are very similar in terms of pain and they comfort each other and Yuri ultimately understands to accept her flaws and make a better life out of this experience.

All and all, this game is not perfect when it comes to the plot lmao but it's still good and the gameplay finally is done right on modern consoles (Screw you Wii U) we can enjoy game in a better way.

Also love the theme song in this game.
In This Cage is one best songs ever.

This review was written before the game released

Get in loser, we're gonna kill some angels and Chaos. Blasts My Way and Fly me to the Moon on your phone
Also Jack says Bullshit and then pulls a phone out of his ass while playing the most edgy song ever.
I love this games shenanigans XD

This was a fun game but good lord it's atrocious to farm sometimes.

A sad excuse of a jump scare simulator with one of the worst cast ever.

This is a poor man's attempt at a Smash game for Sony with the only thing saving it being the music.
Also why the fuck is reboot Donte in this garbage?

The start of my love for Tekken. Jin was the best thing ever to happen.

Boy they sure ruined Samus' image with this game XD
