Rance X is a venture to ace all the previous set-up made over the course of decades by attempting to rearrange its iconic joyful atmosphere into a cruel setting filled with high stakes, all this while going through the hurdle of dealing with an ambitious project that greatly overpowers its budget.
The result for me was, easily the best gameplay I have experienced within alicesoft, be it in depth, variety or creativity.
But, sadly I did not feel like the stakes were as properly delivered as I had hoped, some of the intended impact could not reach me with as powerful a feeling as I thought it meant to, alongside the pacing and length of some parts, I could not help but feel that it ends up clashing with the enormous wager that is within the game's story, which ended up, unhappily for me, contributing so that the parts of the game where I truly felt emotionally engaged were quite few for how much of a behemoth the story is.
Otherwise, this isn't to mean that the experience was ever close to being just good, no it was always greater or better, as I was mostly having fun with only the best gameplay alicesoft ever made, and always experiencing the usual joy this entire series can offer no matter the game, it is truly a delight to experience.
With that, I can say that I liked Rance X, liked quite a lot.
However,
I'm rating this based solely on the last 20 hours of this massive 200+ hours videogame.
Because that I did not like, I loved.

I believe anyone who has played enough of the 3D sonic games has had in mind their ideal sonic game, has criticized most 3D sonics and thought up which mechanics they loved the most along the years, which you wish were kept, and maybe had dreams of what could be.
Well, this game is it. It's the ideal sonic game, you have momentum, physics, moderate boosts, power-ups, a good battle-system that knows to not overstay its welcome, the soundtrack is fantastic, the level design is otherwordly, the game is made for you to go through the levels with speed that begets you like a lover yet as you pass through the levels in less than 5 minutes you will instantly realize how many methods there are to go through a single level, I could talk about the level design for hours, but it doesn't stop there, the story itself is also not to be underestimated, and, overall I simply cannot compliment this game enough.
Left me satisfied like I haven't been with a game in a long time.

Found it to have a rather slow start but midway through time becomes more a thing you question rather than something you experience.
