Absolute peak of the series. The perfect culmination of years of iterative design in the series, the perfect switch from 2d to 3d. The way it brings the story to the forefront makes me so, so happy as a long time, hardcore fan. Everything about this game makes me so excited for the future of the series. Also, god, that final boss, GOD. Perfect mechanically, musically, narratively, and they've got the sickest design in the world.
