I was going to make a funny meme review saying haha big chungus girl boss zenlin and demifiend Jimenez.
But being honest, naw.
The game is alright, it's component in every area, but for me at least, in the broader gaming landscape rather than just in the context of smt, strange journey isn't a cohesively brilliant and thought provoking game. It has solid character arcs with the most believable descent from the characters, but I don't really connect with the characters. The themes are cool, but I don't really care for the execution. The gameplay is a megaten game so adventuring is fun, but it's not something that I utterly adore, and the combat is nice, but like every other modern entry is more entertaining.
Not a bad game, it's well made, but it's not something I'd consider going back to. Happy for sj fans for liking the game doe and I get the aspects of why it appeals to hard-core megami tensei fans. At the very least doe it has made me a lot more willing to play old-school megaten some time though.
