I think this one has a lot of problems
They're mostly when it comes to how it goes about pacing and progression
The story itself is good, very tight pacing and good story beats, what you'd expect out of LAD and it has the same quality

My main problem comes in the form of design choices, everything is extremely grindy and, to add to that, very repetitive and boring to actually grind
Trying to 100% this game sounds like hell, just hours and hours of doing the same thing over and over again

Thankfully, you can just choose not to engage with any of this and you'll beat the game just fine, it's not a very difficult thing
Still, I usually enjoy maxing out some minigames or substories, but this entry just drained away all my will to do so, it made me a bit sad

Still, an enjoyable game, despite not being one of the strongest entries in the series

Writing this in tears after that ending cutscene, I can't believe they did this to me

This was really good, in a series known to drag out I really appreciate it being on the shorter side, I hope they get to tell more stories like that later on
There's a few weird balance decisions and the pacing's weird at times but again, it's because of how short it is, I don't mind

It manages to be a really strong entry, probably one of my favorites overall
Kiryu stories always mess me up and this is no exception
Great game
