I enjoyed this game a great deal. What it got right: the story was interesting and kept me invested the whole way through. I genuinely worried about the characters and getting them out of situations. The art style was phenomenal. Everything from the environments, to the clothing, and the character were richly designed and beautiful. The voice acting was also really really good.

On the down side: some of the controls were a bit clunky. Switching weapons specifically seemed to take way longer than I would have liked, this got frustrating towards the end of the game. I felt like the character designs for Millie, Arthur, and Rodric could be a bit odd in the face at times. This wasn't hugely distracting but something that I noticed when they interacted with the other characters. Finally, I don't know if I just missed a lot of stuff but by the end of the game I had not received enough resources to upgrade a lot of gear. I would have thought by the end I would have maxed out most of the gear slots but I think I only found enough resources to max 1 or 2.

All in all a really enjoyable experience and I will definitely be picking up the next one at some point.
