Objectively, an upgrade to the first game in a lot of different aspects. Not sure what it is what overall I did not enjoy this game as much as the first one. Story and characters didn't hit as hard I guess

Took a pause right up at the Saejima part of the story

Probably the best cast of characters in the series, close to Yakuza 5 and 7 but the ending to this game sucked donkey dick

Story and characters were actually really good but something about the game makes you just want to push through the story instead of really playing it. A lot of the gameplay mechanics regressed

I appreciate the story and characters a whole but the pacing and presentation of the game leaves a lot to be desired. Number 1 problem being that cutscenes are about 10-15 seconds in length when I think they could have let some of those scenes breathe a little while longer

Brain wave, main wave
Psycho got a high kick

Spent 2 months after buying the game suck in the first zone, unable to get past the mob of enemies in Central Yharnam square beside the stairs to the bridge. Once I did though, the game became goated

Unironically top 5 in the final fantasy series. Personally top 2. Gameplay in the main story is comfortable and easy going if you utilize the system properly, but you can also just level up like crazy and get super strong early because the game is open enough to let you go places and explore early on. The optional content is some of the best in any game, side dungeons and bosses are challenging and requires constant attention to lifebars and status effects. Story is equally as captivating with its political intrigue and focus on side characters. Lovely game

Doctor, turn off my cringe inhibitors

Might give it a higher score if fruitball didn't still haunt my nightmares.

Prettiest sprite work in videogames, to this day in my opinion. A very different type of story compared to Kingdom Hearts 1 but in a good way, because this game goes places in its story and tone that I wouldn't have expected to get. Org 13 members in this one are goated, I love the way they are written. Gameplay for me was actually captivating and kept me interested

Still one of the greatest games of all time and the game I have played and beaten the most in my life. I can go into more detail and talk about the varying amount of issues the game has in gameplay(not a big fan of how revenge value works in this specific game) or the story(pacing can be better) but in reality, that's for the objective game itself and how those things could make the game better for other people. For me, its just fantastically done and with stand the test of time

The only time in my life where I feel an unhinged amount of anger at losing 80 Canadian dollars to this shit and will never get back

Came back to the game after a few years, got through the first ending but still haven't done the other routes. The game felt a lot better this go around so maybe I just needed to have a new perspective, but going through the same game with just small changes for the other routes feels unsatisfying
