At the final boss, the bar jumped up so impossibly high compared to the previous obstacles that I didn't feel like beating it, the game had completely run out of content juice at that point.
Burned out quite fast that one, but what Wildfrost lacks in long-term build complexity and run variety, it recompensates in upbeat music, immense creativity, and charm(s).

Everybody wants to know what remains of Edith Finch, but nobody asks what remains of my psyche after I found out.
The entire experience was made in the image of a god game - Symphony of The Night.
Its strongest virtues and shortcomings are synonymous with those of a good JRPG:
On one hand, you have the creative, yet grotesque designs of the demons, the soundtrack, invoking this incredible feeling of energetic magnificence, and the gigantic map, sprawling with curious locations.
On the other hand though, most quests are of my favourite kind - the fetch kind, with no impact on the story whatsoever. That and the wonky balance / difficulty spikes being "fixed" by grinding for EXP and crafting materials (which is the opposite of fun) sour the taste of the game for me.
