It's hard to give an unbiased opinion about this game. I think it was just what I needed at the time. I love everything about what this game is doing and I can't think of a point in the game where I wasn't having a blast. I also played with a friend, which helped! Difficult multi-hour boss battles are much more fun and engaging when you play them with a pal. So....... try that??? -1 star because the equipment system is really boring, and -0.5 star because Ochette is SO good and H'aanit is SO bad and it's not faaaiiiirrrrr
