Have some mixed feelings about this one. Although I enjoyed it overall, certain parts of my time playing really stood out or felt not that great. Like how backloaded the game is with its side quests. Some of which felt like they could've been cutscenes as part of the main story or some which were glorified fetch quests that didn't need to exist at all. The crafting and upgrading system feeling tacked on, and not that important as you just get free upgrades via progressing the story, making most of the materials you get throughout defeating non major boss enemies feel worthless. The stories odd pacing, as well as the ending which in my opinion felt very unsatisfying.

I could go on.. but again my time with this game wasn't all bad? Despite my gripes I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy myself. The combat was fun, and the eikon fights throughout the game were some of the most epic videogame set pieces I ever experienced. I'd honestly say the game is worth trying for its combat and those moments alone, but who knows, perhaps you might try it and end up enjoying the story more than I did?
