This review contains spoilers
You know, when I first started this game, I didn't think much of it, this was my first Megaten game, and I wasn't sure what to expect. But then I picked it up again and decided to continue where I left off (about the beginning of the first day iirc).
And oh boy did that change me.
The story was perfect, the lockdown and having to fight all these demons, and then as the days go on it just gets worse, with having to fight humans, it's just amazing. We get to see how every character handles the lockdown, one character in particular I enjoyed was Keisuke, he began as this character that I liked but didn't really care for in the grand scheme of things. But then the 4th day came around, which amped up my liking for him twicefold, from when he snapped after finding out Midori was going to be kill by humans, to when he got Yama, that day was a trip, and I mean it in the best way possible. The 5th day too, boy was that also intense. I didn't get him killed in my run, because I was told ahead of time about it, but oh boy did it make me feel grateful i kept him alive. He's probably my favorite character in the game and I love him dearly.
Besides that, my first route was Amane's, while it was good, it was not anything to write home about for me. Which sort of tainted my feelings on the game.
But then I picked up the game again a bit later, and started the other routes (I literally went out of my way to replay the game to unlock the portraits on the save screen.) The one that sticks out to me the most is Naoya's, not only is it more interesting than Amane's but it also has some of the best character interactions ive seen in the game. It's my favorite route out of the 5, and it's the reason I'm writing this review right now. I could go on about how it's the best route of the game but this would be too long.
Now onto the 8th days
The 8th days for each route is the reason this game isnt up higher on my list of favorite games ever
The best one is Yuzu's and the worst one is ironically enough Naoya's, with Amane's being very mixed for me
I consider them noncanon bc they're just additional content for the game and yeah.
Not to mention the amped up difficulty of those days, it was insane and it got a bit frustrating at times. And fighting Metatron was a fucking pain too. I didnt even BEAT Okuninushi because it was like bullshit to me, call me a coward but it was tough as shit.
I think that wraps up my thoughts on this game, overall i'd give it an 8/10, very good game despite it's intense difficulty!
