god I love this game so much. the controls, which are super tight, are paired with lovely little techs and mechanics that are totally optional but super fun to pull off.

I love the game's characters and story, even if I only really got the badeline thing on my second time around when I was in a much better place (the game isn't telling you to become one with your flaws; it's saying that you can't just abandon them and pretend they're not a part of you. you have to cope and come to terms with them before you can really get over them).
