Gates To Infinity is just... fine. A passable Mystery Dungeon experience, though it's shallow and disappointing as a follow-up to the excellent Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky.

+ The writing is just as charming as Rescue Team and Explorers with fairly memorable characters. Highlights include Victini, Cofagrigus, Hydregion, and Quagsire.
+ The ending is handled very well with a presentation that's arguably on par with Explorers' heart-wrenching ending.
- Gameplay is generally dull and repetitive as many of the series' most interesting mechanics have been over-simplified or removed entirely.
- Building up Paradise is a great concept that just wasn't executed very well. The slow trickle of materials through jobs, on top of the new one-job-per-day restriction, makes job completion laborious and the buildings you create from those materials are almost entirely useless.
- The main story is ridiculously easy, to the point that I one-shot the final boss. This could be down to me playing as Axew though as it seems exceptionally powerful versus other starters thanks to its early access to Dual Chop.
- The game's text speed is Diamond/Pearl-levels of obnoxiously slow, making story progress a complete slog.
