Its a good game, but definitely not perfect. I initially enjoyed my time with the combat, but towards the end of the game it really felt stale. It's a good thing the DLC episodes shake it up a ton.
The story was.... uhhhhh interesting? I technically didn't get the full experience as they made a movie, anime and book to coincide with this game, but from playing the main story + all DLC episodes you can kinda piece it together and its quite enjoyable. However, in one of the earliest cutscenes (& also the PICTURES OF THE GAME ON STEAM) show Noctus & the gang aged, clearly Noctus has facial hair lol, making it pretty obvious that there would be a timeskip of sorts. Sadly made that point of the game pointless, I wish it was more of a surprise.
It was also kind of weird that very important story details are left to the DLC to explain - I feel like the game could've explained it in the main campaign but whatever.
All in all I did enjoy my time with the game, about 30ish hours for main campaign + DLC episodes (including both verse 2's)
