The special balancing is AWFUL, and the constant “Meta” makes the multiplayer really fall off since when it first came out. Also Salmon run isn’t quite as good as 2, but still very fun. But where it really shines is having the best Base Game Story of the series. Alterna was EXCELLENT, and felt like the next extension of the series. Full of creativity and variety and the overworld has so much content it’s great. Overall I think the game is great, just playing it nowadays isn’t as great.
