This is not a three-star game but a game that oscillates wildly between a one-star and a five-star game. What it does well, it does exceptionally. What it does poorly, it does horrendously. It's very rarely just mediocre.

I played this game around once a week consistently for two years. I cried, I laughed, I sighed in annoyance, I screamed into my hands in frustration. For all its problems, it became a part of my routine. And I'm genuinely looking forward to continuing to the next installment. Just. Maybe after a nice break.
