Love the story and the setting and the worldbuilding; they're not flawless but they're VERY fun, and I think that if you're a fan of the "hunter-style" format then the gameplay is fine. (I'm not crazy about it personally, but that's not a problem with the game itself.) Story mode just feels a lot LONGER than it needs to be. Each "story" (GE1, GER, Resurrection) feel like they're several missions longer than is justified, and it's hard not to see it as padding. But, hey, the game gave me Soma and Shio, so it's hard not to appreciate it even so!
