Deeply satisfying to set up your autobattler-Roombas and agonize over their every maneuver, running the numbers on each encounter ahead of time. The overworld shortcuts and crazy crit builds hint at some really cool speedrun tech I'm excited for.

Plays it disappointingly straight narratively, but you already knew this game had delightful character designs and stunning environments pouring out of every scene. Even the score swept me away sometimes - particularly in the overworld night themes and at the end.

Completed on Expert, and while I had to fight tooth and nail to see credits, I did it!
