for the "weakest" entry in the series, the story and characters are good. combat sucks because you're limited to throw or dodge in chapters 1-4, quickstep restoration is essential otherwise your dodges won't do anything, and komaki moves are a necessity to make groupfights bearable. 1v1 bossfights are great imo, except for the joji fight because he doesn't have telegraphed moves. the IF7 Lau and last fight are horrible because the former is a 3v1 and the latter is rng because he can tigerdrop at any given time
