Great protagonist and (some) great side characters. Story feels like it dips into a long mcguffin hunt around the middle, but apart from that it's solid character work. Magilou for life.

The gameplay is... it's not good, there's no other way to say it. It's hard to even tell what's happening or why sometimes, and changing the difficulty never felt like it increased the challenge, just the tedium. The complete lack of dungeon design and open maps of nothing don't help it either. Don't play this game expecting great gameplay.
