Played the GW route, starts very strong, expands some parts of claudes character and makes his route his own instead of being a blend of leicester stuff and church stuff. Shez is also a much better protagonist than byleth and its really nice to play an actual character again even if the bang looks awful.

The story does fall off a bit the second half of the game and pulls you back and forth and feels a bit unfocused as it goes on. The combat system is just not very deep and gets boring no matter how much you try to change it up, but the pre battle stuff is all very good. More content with all your favs is also great of course.
