An embarrassment of riches, content-wise. The sheer volume of side content continues to be one of the strongest parts of RGG’s games. As someone who’s played all the mainline LaD games, I appreciated letting Kiryu go out on such a high note (provided he actually stays out this time :P)

The RPG mechanics are fine. Nothing groundbreaking but perfectly serviceable. I do wish you could be a bit more deliberate with positioning, but treating things like proximity bonuses and combo attacks as occasional bonuses instead of required tactics, it becomes a bit less annoying.

This would be a 9/10, but I’m knocking it down a point for Sega’s incredibly scummy decision to sell new game+ for twenty fucking U.S. American dollars. Highway robbery. Eat shit, Sega.
