i didnt hate everything about this game. i did have a lot of fun mixing and matching my team until i put something together that felt really nice to me. i didnt really care about like.. the best meta builds or whatever, i just picked characters i liked and went from there. i loved running all over the map, grabbing all the waypoints i could at once on foot, or climbing up as high as i could and then jumping down and gliding and seeing where i could find from there. the sense of exploration was genuinely really fun, and id spend hours just doing that alone.

it was really fun felling big bosses with my friends ! but WOW grinding for artefacts fucking SUCKSSSSSSSs. oh my god it sucks so bad. grinding to get the things you need to level your characters is a slog if you dont want to play with other people, especially if its because you cant get decent artefacts to begin with. this was by far the most frustrating part for me personally. i really didnt like that how good my character performed depended on getting lucky enough to get somethign at least useable out of a domain, which the good majority of the time, you probably wont be !!

and then theres the obvious glaring issue: the gacha hell. oh. my god. in theory the idea of dupe pulls going towards making your character stronger is like.. okay. but it feels so damn predatory in the way its executed. i really really hate everything about it.

the story is.... ok. it has moments where it feels interesting, and then other times it is an absolute slog that i wish would end so i could go back to gameplay. the characters are fine, if overdesigned as all hell. i dunno.

ultimately i realized the parts i really liked about this were things i could experience playing BOTW, lmfao. every so often id come back and do my dailies and leave, but even that got boring after a while. id had some really cute interactions with people when i did play multiplayer, some really fun times here and there, but ultimately i just cant really stand the game anymore. a shame. i feel like without the super predatory gacha shit, it could be Okay.
