I feel like you gotta be fine with the absurd amount of filler and padding to give this anything close to 5 stars. This game is basically style over substance which is kinda in stark contrast to the original TWEWY which oozed both.

Rindo's main gimmick sounds cool on paper, but it only serves to drag out the game in the most repetitious way possible, especially in the late game where it becomes NEO's main crutch. All I'm saying, this game could do with being about 15 hours shorter. The soundtrack, cast of characters (even though they aren't given as much depth or time to shine as the original cast), and combat are awesome, but everything else about this game makes it unreplayable to me.
