(Note: I played the Blue Lions route.)
Fire Emblem: Three Houses manages to implement an engaging combat system with in-depth and likable characters, but has a few issues that prevent it from being truly exceptional.
I liked the surprising amount of depth to the combat, freedom to build units however you like (although one or two classes are male specific - no War Master Catherine for you), the character design, and the story overall. I also thought the final battle was a great ending to the game.
I disliked the monotony of the various chores in the monestary, the pace of the story being rather slow sometimes, the overall length of the game (I think it could've been a few hours shorter), and the horrendous graphical quality. It's quite the nitpick, but I also feel like the marriage aspect of the game feels rather tacked-on compared to other FE games (and kind of weird). Annette is best girl.
Overall, I'd recommend Fire Emblem Three Houses for both those who are interested in strategy games and those who are veterans of the genre. Despite this game being a 40 to 50-hour commitment, I'm seriously considering playing through the game a second time.
