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.
