I have many, many issues with this game. It's entirely too long, this game never needed 50 hours to tell its story. I already thought the story was weaker than the previous 4 games, but the length makes it even more of a pain. It adds nearly nothing interesting to the overarching plot of Metal Gear, while also generally not being interesting in the first place, while also not having a very satisfying ending, feeling very much unfinished. The open world is incredibly boring, but when you do get to play the game, stealth is generally fun and allows a lot of creativity. The gameplay can be really good, but there's so much that it can get boring and drag on. This game is certified 'good,' but compared to the rest of the series, seriously lacks.

I think I hate this game, and I feel really bad saying it. I got all endings, and there were aspects I quite liked. The story was interesting and intriguing, the characters were good, and the aerial combat is alright. The real problem is that the ground gameplay, which is most of the runtime, is just miserable the whole way through, the music isn't all that great, and the whole experience felt very mind-numbing. I didn't have a fun time, but I am glad I played it, as a huge fan of NieR. The story is good, and Yoko Taro's charm is still in this game.

This game was shockingly good. I've always heard about the confusing insanity that is KH lore, and wanted to check out the series for that very reason. It certainly delivered on a high stakes final fantasy style plot, but did so with the charm and magic of Disney, with a simple message about friendship. Riku and Sora's dynamic was well written and the gameplay was good, despite being a bit basic. I think that the early game was definitely a bit too punishing however, honestly for a kids game this game actually gave me a bit of a challenge. I also think that a lot of the time spent in disney worlds, while charming, doesn't actually do much for the plot, and the final boss was far too long and not fun to fight. Either way, the game was great overall and I'm excited to see where the series is going.
