Gameplay and controls didn't age that well, but story and characters are still solid.

This game was quite fun. Even though this was my first Metroid game, I still had a blast with it. Everything was really well designed and bosses were quite challenging but felt fair. Definitely would recommend this to the newcomers.

Random encounters in the final chapter was insuffarable, If it wasn't for the amount of backtracking you have to do, It would've been fine, but this is just too much.

Gameplay leaves a lot to be desired compared to the other fighting games out there, and it runs like shit on PC. Also there are lootboxes in this game.
Gameplay is janky, and there are balancing issues all over the place, but it's a pretty solid game, considering it's their first turn-based RPG. The story has some questionable pacing in the middle but comes back very strong in the last few chapters. Last 4 chapters are kino.

I get it now... This is indeed peak fiction.

Definitely not as bad as some people make it out to be, but I understand the criticism it receives and mostly agree with it.
Extra was a sol that got really boring after a bit because of my expectations from this series, I think that's the case for most people considering the general opinion people have about this game. I found the main heroines to be a bit weak, as ı didn't care about them that much in the end, which made going through their routes even harder.
Unlimited was more enjoyable compared to the extra which helped tremendously in my overall opinion about this game. Even the characters that I thought were annoying or just insufferable before were better than their counterpart in Extra here. It was not without its fault of course, as the romance and pacing were just terrible.

After playing through Extra and Unlimited, I was really excited to finally play Muv-Luv Alternative. While I wasn't a fan of both of those visual novels, Unlimited still managed to get me excited for Alternative. However, after reading through Alternative, I'm really conflicted about how I feel about this game.
Highs of the story were really good, But overall, there were so many redundant and convoluted info-dumps that the whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth.
When it comes to the characters, they were undoubtedly better developed here than ever before. However, I still couldn't connect or care about most of them, except for Meiya and Yuuko, who were my favorite characters in Muv-Luv. They were the main reason I stuck through the boring parts. I wonder if I would have liked the ending better if they had focused more on character development instead of those ridiculously stupid expositions.
The romance was one of the weakest points of this visual novel. I wasn't invested in the Sumika and Takeru pairing at all. I just wish they were better developed overall, and it didn't help that I wasn't crazy about both of those characters either.
The presentation definitely deserves some praise, particularly the beautiful OST. However, I don't consider this game a masterpiece or anything, but it was still worthwhile to see what the hype around this series was. I just wish some aspects had been handled better. There was a lot of wasted potential in my opinion.
