story bad (funny bad)
gameplay good (genuinely like top 5 at the very least)
not much to say about engage other than what's already been said by everyone else, it's just a solid ass entry into the series imo. fanservice was fun, I like enough of the characters to not really give a shit about the ones I don't like, the gameplay is disgustingly good, especially with how well balanced maddening is. and you know what- surprisingly, I actually ended up liking Alear.
great game!
