This was way better than what I expected! The cities and dungeons are diverse, super fun to explore and the battlesystem is speedy and flashy. The only real drawbacks I gathered were some unannounced point of no returns and the enemies could've done with some more omph in difficulty, but the overall dungeon design (save for one stinker dungeon at the midway point of the game) and metroidvania esque gameplay more than made up for it. I generally find Golden Sun is more about the journey and the world you explore rather than the actual plot, and Dark Dawn has that same setup going for it. It's just too bad the series cancelled after this one likely due to its polar reception.
