This is a very hard game for me to rate. I understand people love this game, however, I found my attachment to the characters to be minimal with the exception of 9S. I found the gameplay infuriating at times, and due to the fact Platinum worked on this game, I felt the combat worsened due to this being from the same studio that made Bayonetta 2 and Metal Gear Rising. Route B is a slog and I hated every waking moment of it.

However, Route C/D/E is excellent, and it has an outstanding soundtrack. Watching the mental decline of 9S after 2B's death was something that hurt because he was the only character I felt real emotion towards. I liked the movement enough as well to just run around on rooftops for fun, and the few sidequests I did were very good at the worldbuilding they did

I really don't know how to properly rate this game. I enjoyed parts of it, but HATED others, though I think the good mildly outstands the bad.

Oh also, DONT play on Switch. I experienced HEAVY lag spikes and a few crashes, there are definitely better places to play this game (PC, Xbox)
