This is a remake of a DS game that I've never heard of but it was developed by Cing that also made Hotel Dusk which I really liked so I was already hooked just by that.
It's pretty short but the story is pretty interesting and got some really good moments, like the moment I got to the scene in the cove I actually got chills, realizing what was the meaning of the painting back in the start of the game.
I didn't find the puzzles that interesting but sometimes the game changes the gameplay a bit like going into first person mode and having to work your way into the dark, but the puzzles themselves were pretty simplistic but it's not as if I was expecting something complex to be honest, but I just got this feeling that they were probably more dynamic and interesting in the DS because of the dual screen.
So yeah, this is a pretty good game, it takes a while to get interesting but taking in consideration how short it is that's practically nothing and when it gets interesting it gets REALLY interesting so it's a pretty nice experience.

I really did not expect to get hit this hard by this game's story as I did, even though I felt the same way when I played Xenoblade 3 and should've expected this one to be the same.
This game takes all of the themes presented in the last two episodes and present them in an even stronger way, the feeling of loneliness, existentialism, religion, relationships, failure, longing for the past, etc, each of these themes unify and form such an amazing story, everything feels so real despite how fantastic and sci-fi the world may be, it's genuinely amazing.
And despite me being completely hypnotized by how good the story of this game is the gameplay is also pretty good, it's really fun, idk what happened in XSII where the gameplay wasn't fun at all excluding when you were in the E.S. which was pretty fun, but this game changes the whole gameplay but keeps the fun of the E.S. and also makes the normal gameplay fun too.
Definitely one of the best games I played period, it's up there with Xenoblade 3 and Future Redeemed if not better, but I can't truly bring myself to compare those games when all of them are in reality just amazing.

This game is such an improvement from the og, the gameplay still kinda ass but it's more polished so it isn't as unenjoyable than in Normal Extra, I found the dungeon crawling more engaging specially since they play more into the story, and the story itself is so soooo good.
I didn't expect to like this game as much as I did, specially since my first contact with it was one of the moves in the last boss that looks like the most coomer shit ever, but turns out the game is much more than that and it's really great
