Undoubtedly one of the best monster tamers of all time, its mechanics are so varied and creative that one playthrough will probably only scratch the surface of just what is possible to do in this game. Combat is extremely challenging yet satisfying. I think this game's biggest downsides are a lack of small QoL changes to make battles faster, the post-game content becoming way too repetitive, and one of the last super bosses is simply just not fun to fight. The plot and characters are also great, and the monster designs are spot on.
