Beat the elite four, so i guess i beat the game mainly? I dunno, especially this following arceus i had a lot of expectations which were really just kinda thrown out the window. This had so much potential but just felt like a clunky mess, almost like a beta version of legends arceus. Characters are cool in a way, character customization really bites imo, and yeah, i dunno, maybe as i get older i kinda fall out of the newer pokemon titles, but yeah, not SUPER terrible, but not the greatest pokemon game I've played, just felt like a big empty open world, and not in a fun way.

AMAZING, everything from the story to especially how the characters interact with each other. Persona 5R was lacking so much in attention grabbing for me, it felt like the characters really didn't interact much with each other as friends, more or so as just allies of the phantom thieves. The Investigation Team however, just wow. I felt like I was a part of this close knit family who was tracking down these murders, made the story so much more enjoyable and engaging. Probably my favorite in the series so far, imo, it beats the crap out of Persona 5 as a whole.

Clunky controls and very odd camera angles make this a slight bit tough at first, but I do wholeheartedly believe that every survival horror fan should give this game a shot. Going through the town of Silent Hill will leave you with an eerie feeling and total discomfort as you run away or choose to fend off your demonic enemies, as well as Harry Contemplating, "Where's Cheryl? What is going on here? Where am I?" gives such great immersion to the experience this game gives you. A very VERY solid 4/5. (also just really wish there was more of a layout for how the multiple endings work out but ya know, be on the lookout for clues to get that Good+ Ending!)

Wow, for my first mainline SMT game, I thought this was actually a nice pace coming from just playing a game or two of the Persona series. From having my friend and bandmate shove this whole series down my throat, I'm glad I've finally started to pick these games up cause they're absolutely incredible. Gameplay is FANTASTIC, all the demon building and even self character building is very very solid, the world itself in game looks amazing, and MY LORD THEM BOSS FIGHTS JUST MWAH. I did feel the story was lacking quite a bit, it wasn't very strong to me but the underlying theme/tone of the game is there 100% and can really make you think closely about your choices between law and chaos..... or maybe neither? But regardless, I just didn't really feel much attachment to a lot of the characters except for maybe Aogami and at some points Tao and Amanozako (Gustave is da homie doe). But yes! Overall, for a first entry coming into the mainline smt games to get a hang of how the game mechanics work as a newcomer, I'd def recommend! This game is an absolute fun time, but will test you and show you how the mainline SMT games REALLY play as opposed to the Persona series being drastically different in terms of gameplay. A VERY SOLID 4/5!
