The first 90% of this game is great, but the ending sucks and is barely connected to the themes of the rest of the game. I don't want to elaborate on my complaints because of spoilers, but the short version is that the end is a bunch of poorly explained bullshit that explicitly wasn't setup earlier. They setup interesting character arcs throughout the game and then just... don't resolve them in the ending.

The combat is interesting, but gets repetitive over time. Button mashing is pretty much the optimal strategy and by the end there are too many effects on screen at once to be able to see and dodge enemy attacks. Not a bad combat system, but not my cup of tea.
