Absolutely amazing. I adore the story, the characters and especially the soundtrack. The only thing holding it back for me are some of the dungeons and the sometimes excruciating encounter rate. I really wish mainline smt had stories like this but I suppose the focus on narrative is mainly reserved for spin-off titles.

Curious on what mainline SMT games you have played? Like the only mainline titles with a lesser focus on story are Nocturne and SMT V. SMT 1, 2 IV, Strange Journey, and IVA are all mainline titles and focus heavily on the story

I've played every mainline title except 1 and 2. So yea looking back I might've been a bit off the mark with the last sentence, I was just shocked by the quality of the narrative compared to other smt games. I feel like the story blows IV and IVA out of the water, arguably Strange Journey as well. (Btw is there a way for me to reply to comments? It feels weird to just leave a comment under my own review lol)
