A good game in itself, but when compared to the much greater Three Houses, I'm afraid it's a big step backwards in all respects. There's only one main route, and after finishing that and all DLC content, there's not much replay value, unless you really want to check all romance options and/or difficulty levels. The story is so-so, with lots of characters to choose from, and all the cliché anime plot twists you can think of (I mean it, all of them). At least there's a huge nostalgia factor with all the Emblems from previous games, if you played them, that is. Graphics were OK, but I'm sure even the Switch could be capable of more than this, and as for the gameplay, I guess it was fine, nothing groundbreaking if you ever played anything in this franchise.

Still, as I wrote, not a bad entry in the series, in my opinion. I don't regret investing my time in it, but I still feel a bit disappointed.
