I aint gonna lie, I tried real hard to like this game but it just didnt hold my attention for some reason.

The graphics and the combat in this can stay, the voice acting is also excellent. The game has a solid foundation, if they just make the story and characters a little more interesting, diversify the side quests, and improve the hub worlds and open worlds this game would be a 9/10. The changes this game needs aren't major, the foundation is good enough to build on.

They pretty much started with the combat and built everything else around it

Scarlet Nexus got 40% off deal sale on PS5. I'm glad I didn't buy this game, I did play demo, I liked it but I can tell I'm going to get bored real fast. I would play this game if its free.

Finished with Kasane, which means I've finished with both characters. Overall thoughts -

Positives:

-The combat is great, and the SAS system was done well. Combat itself is never really unfun or a chore.
-Pretty good graphics and voice acting
-Decent reply value on the 2nd playthrough, for the first 2/3rds of the game the story is pretty different for each character

Negatives:

-The story/characters are mid if we're being honest. Kasane is aight, Yuito is pretty much a generic RPG protagonist and most other characters are just anime stereotypes. The story itself was somehow both weird and still not that memorable, there was a bunch of questionable time travel mechanics. The villains were also meh. Karen''s entire motivation for changing the timeline was that somebody died and he can't accept it? Weak. Also, this game has about three years worth of cheesy friendship speeches, I mean c'mon now.
-The enemies were lacking in variety. Once you hit the 2nd half of the game it feels like you're fighting the same enemies over and over, just more of them and/or with more HP. Gets repetitive, especially on the 2nd run.
-They don't give you a lot of reason to care about side missions, at least from what I saw. The few I did, I didn't really get anythingi worthwhile and they had nothing much to do with the story.


Overall I'll give it 8/10

If there's a sequel, the main focus needs to be on writing a better story and having more different enemy types.

I pretty much agree with this word for word. I am not going to bother with the Yuito playthrough however. After I got to a certain point, it didn't matter what the enemy threw at me, I was going to wreck shyt. Enemy variety is a must. I hated that Bethesda style of leveling up enemies as well. More locales as well.

On to the anime now.

I mean hey if you enjoyed your time with it that’s all that matters IMO

Although given that their was a minor sale on this game on launch that was kind of a big hint that it won’t be too long for a sale.

Game looks hella fun, but I know it would be stuck in my jrpg backlog hell. Just waiting for it to go on sale for $30 to get it for my PS5.
