7.5. Unfortunately, so much side content is tied up in the school stories. I would’ve like if this weren’t the case.

This review contains spoilers

3 play throughs is unnecessary the third adds literally 2 short cutscenes and slightly alters one. These could easily have been in play through 2. C/ d endings should’ve been available from play through 2 providing you have the weapons for. This is because ending b is just a slightly expanded version of A and C/D just carry on directly from A/B. Play through B is definitely worth it though as it adds many cut scenes and gives a new context to everything

On its own this is the weakest game in the world of assassinations trilogy and would get a 7.5 but the ability to play H1 and H2 in this bumps it to an 8.5. Viewed as the third act in a story it works well.

7.5, dislike the squad based element of the combat

I like narrative heavy games but this has far too little gameplay

Core gameplay loop great and original. Story decent with lovable characters. Drawing some morpjgs is a pain made worse by short time limits. Puzzles involving the 2nd screen sometimes needlessly complicated bc of field of vision and Just frustrating . 7.5/10

More of what was good in the first game with improvements to gameplay and story. 8.5/10

7.5, good game but frustratingly difficult to the point it stops being fun to play at many points.

The Max raids are annoying especially when it comes to the ultra beasts, took a lot of shots to find Necrozy. Star Tournament is a nice addition.

On the Switch , it makes you use the motion controls handheld in many situations where you can just use a button if playing in the dock. There are some motion controls required even for the docked version. Not a fan of that and the controls and camera are a bit dodgy at times.

3D World is enjoyable even if the moving in 3 dimensions and having to turn the camera means I fall off platforms much more-7.5. Bowser’s Fury is great and bumps the overall package up to an 8, only complaints are that it isn’t longer and the trickity towers exists.
