Absolutely massive game that makes a lot of smart changes to the original’s narrative and character dynamics while introducing some interesting threads for the third part. It doesn't follow up the end of Remake in the way I expected, but I'm invested in what's been set up here.

It has possibly the most insane soundtrack I’ve heard, a vastly improved combat system from Remake, and some surprisingly engaging/fulfilling side content (Queen's Blood rocked). I was addicted from the opening cutscene till credits rolled.

I also really love what they did with Cait Sith here that's my goat fr.
