All respect to Abubakar Salim; I know this game was very heavily inspired by the grief he experienced from the passing of his father. That's clear early and often in the story, and I can tell making this was a cathartic game for him. I also love the way the team implemented Bantu culture into the game, and I tip my cap to Salim on that part.
I just wish I was as interested in the gameplay as I was in the story. It just felt like a very standard Metroidvania to me, and it wasn't really as exciting as I hoped it would be.

While it has some cool concepts, the gameplay started to become rote and repetitive to me. The story was also extremely uninteresting, as were the characters, and while I respect the production values of the game given that it came from a first-time developer, it really needed more time in the oven.

Last year, it felt like they really eliminated some of the grind in Diamond Dynasty. This year, it feels like we've gone twenty steps backward, and it's not as fun. I tried to complete the Live Series collection (as I do every year), but just couldn't bear to.
The moment-to-moment gameplay is still solid and all - this is MLB: The Show - but it's not nearly as exciting as previous games. Also...am I the only one disappointed that the only MLB player to get a "Storyline" is Derek Jeter? Great player and all, but...just him? And it's not even the whole storyline?
