Fun game. Story and characters aren't up to par with P5/Strikers, but the gameplay is charming enough that you aren't here for the story. Very arcade-y version of a tactics game. Most of the meat of a tactics game is stripped away like flanking or RNG, but it's replaced with sort of puzzle elements where you try to figure out how to position your units for All-Out Attacks or chain together Once Mores to get through a level. Could have used a bit more depth especially with status conditions, but it worked well for what it was.
A very slight step down from the first game personally, but largely because I'm not into the symbiote storyline. The two different characters were the perfect mix of feeling different from each other while also feeling similarly enough that they control the same way.
Quality over quantity. Incredibly short, but all 3 puzzles were well made, especially the second one. Challenging but never to the point of feeling unfair or frustrating.

Cute game without any real stress so you can just take it easy. Tells a nice story through its environment which was fun to discover. I wish it was a bit easier to be precise with your placement.

Pretty fun co-op game that can be really challenging. Server connections were a big problem that plagued us through the entire playthrough. Also lost a few gold times to glitches like losing items that are required to complete the level through the floor.

Very competently made game. Great visuals and a really interesting world. Nice and enjoyable short game, but could be improved by delving into the story of the world more.

Decent co-op game. Somewhat janky, but also had plenty of fun moments.
Missing a lot of the R&C charm. Honestly felt rushed out the door to fit a schedule. Needed way more polish.

Cool concept, but the puzzles are poorly created, I softlocked 3 times, the music is absolutely terrible, and the story was kinda dumb.

Very solid platformer filled to the brim with Playstation references that had me grinning like an idiot. Very good introduction to the PS5 and its controller, teaching me all about the good and bad of this new hardware.
