It's really bad, which would be fine, but also it's unplayable.
I played a few levels of the demo, but it didn't really seem like my thing at all. The art is cute and the narrator has a lovely voice that's spooky and mysterious, but the actual puzzle part didn't seem very interesting, and also seemed to be pretty strict on how tightly you needed to beat each level to get full points.
Gameplay wise, Rebirth is approximately better than Remake. The pacing issues are less bad than Remake had, though not really totally solved.
I liked Queen's Blood. I was surprised to like a card game in an RPG, but I gave it a fair shake, and it's really neat. It's not making me want to run out and play every card player out there, but it's definitely good enough to keep me from resenting when card matches are part of the main story quest line.
The bosses are still so tanky that it's exhausting. I think that the latter chapters feel like they're dragging on and on. This is probably because, as the story builds up, you want to keep advancing the story to see where it leads. That's exactly when you're confronted with immense sequences of "stuff" that ultimately doesn't matter much half the time and gets in the way of the story flow.
Speaking of story: I finished the game, and I still don't know what's going on. This is some real kingdom hearts shit for sure.
However, I also don't care anymore? I can say one thing I do know: that Unknown Journey stuff was all a lie. This has gotta be the biggest waste of video game story potential since Mass Effect 3. The ending made me think, "that's it?". It retroactively reaches back across the whole game and sours a 4/5 experience into just a 2/5 at best.
