This was like a long demo for a better game to come later

2018

This sets such a high standard for roguelikes in every regard. Top notch combat, presentation, story.

I don't like the music or the story in this game, and aspects of playing it aren't very fun. But the open world is good, the swinging is good.

We'll feel the effects of this one forever.

I don't really get what people's beef with this game is. Story was backloaded and could have been more in general. I could say that about a lot of SMT games.

2020

Masterful sound design and a simple but extremely effective story. Oh yeah, I guess the platforming is fine too

There were times I thought I wasn't that into this, then I saw Ending E.

Its great, it has everything, it's just really nice

It's really good, but for whatever reason I don't really see myself wanting to play it again or through the post game.

My least favourite in the series. Still a great game

Haven't played a Smash game in years until this, it's hard not to get caught up in its infectious enthusiasm for all games

Replayed recently and it holds up better than I had thought it would
