Faithful remake to the original with fairly good added content. Level design (for the most part) is good but some levels are kinda bad. Game controls like an absolute brick and Mini-Mario sections (aka, all of ng+) are god awful because Mini-Mario does not like to listen to you in the way you want him. Enjoyed the first half of the game, second half was tedious, extra levels were okay. Probably not worth the price tag but was some good nostalgia.
A very cute 3D platformer with some Animal Crossing inspired vibes. While the game is priced very affordably, the playtime required to beat it matches it (around 1 hour). Currently has some issues with controller/KB+mouse overriding each other among other visual/gameplay annoyances (i.e. camera sensitivity is one slider that applies in both directions, menus are sometimes janky, etc.). Can be cheesed incredibly quickly due to some movement mechanics. Overall a fun experience if you're looking for a short game!
For what it is, I will say this is a good game. I enjoyed this significantly more than 3 Houses mostly for the reason that 3 Houses does not feel like a FE game, and this brought back a lot of memories of playing Awakening/Fates like 8-10 years ago. The diversity of party creation in this game is REALLY good, granted with some minor issues (like all of the class skills either being absurdly broken or absurdly niche use-case). Lastly, the most glaring issue with Engage (and this is like 1.5 of the 2.5 points I'm taking from the game) is this is written like baby's first JRPG. The writing is.... not great. By a long shot. It has some good points here and there, but otherwise I would entirely tell someone to skip the game's story because it's just so bland.
