Probably has the blandest level design out of the games in the series that I've played so far - which is really saying something - but if you're playing "properly" and constantly pinballing off enemies and making the bare minimum acquaintance with the floor you'll probably be having too much fun to really notice. Movement feels great!
Glad that they streamlined what they did - the crafting system in the previous games felt pretty superfluous, and this game having you simply buy upgrades works a lot better. Also mid-play dialogue boxes no longer obscure half the screen and what EX weapon is what is clearly labelled in the menu, so well done Inti!
It's short and sweet. The idea of a spinoff from a previous game's Bad Ending is an interesting one even if I couldn't give much of a toss for the actual story in these. Also I feel like I'm risking prison any time I look at 99% of the female characters in the series - wish they'd rein that in a bit, maybe stop it entirely. But yeah it's pretty fun!
