I really shouldn't like this as much as I do. The combat sucks, the environments are very same-y, and the resource management aspect is pretty half-baked. But dammit I absolutely adored the relationship between the two main characters. It's extremely rare that relationships in video games feel like anything more than fan-service or non-essential window dressing, but the dynamic between Yu and Kay is just so sweet and genuine and the entire experience is centered around it. The best parts of the game were just them hanging out and doing normal stuff, and I've never seen a game truly commit to showing that aspect of relationships. It's not the greatest game ever, but there are so many moments that I found myself with the dumbest smile on my face, and that's all I can really ask for from a game like this.
