what they/them pussy does to a mf

this game is kinda way too short but its also insanely emotional

This game is an improvement on the original in almost every way possible, even some ways which I thought were impossible. I think it occasionally dips its toes in some tropes that aren't that good for some characters (the Bara-gumi's introduction is Rough), but on the whole this is one of my favorite games of all time, and an amazing follow up to the first game.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

I haven't played P5S and Hyrule Warriors 2 yet so they may end up being better but not counting those I'd say this is maybe the best Musou game ever made. Like do you know how annoying it is to 100% a Musou? But I did it. Cause this game is fun.

It's got lots of issues and you have to approach it from a very specific mindset but god damn when you have the right mindset it can be great fun. The plot is ok but the sheer amount of campaigns makes the main story mode drag on and on. Side stories, meanwhile, require grinding for cash so you can level up the side servants to an actually acceptable level. Nero is annoying.

That being said if you enjoy anything related to the Fate series and don't despise the Musou genre, I'd recommend it. It's a bit of an oddity and you need to focus on territory rather than just killing hordes but it can be quite fun.

An amazing game for sure, but I don't think I can accurately describe how awful it is that what would be the best version of the game in terms of gameplay, mechanics, and arguably presentation with the 3D, is capped at 20 FPS and only manages to reach that once in a blue moon without hacking your 3DS or 2DS (specifically a new one, not an o3DS or o2DS) and even if you hack it you're basically never gonna see even 20 FPS if you have 3D on.

Really fun and the best NSMB entry, but its been devalued by the rest of the subseries.

I got So Close to finishing this game and it was a fucking amazing experience all throughout. Easily my favorite of the top-down Metal Gears.

...Mega Man 3, however, remains my favorite Mega Man
