People praise this game for going back to the old JRPG formula but don't recognize why we moved away from that formula in the first place. The combat system is interesting and compelling but unfortunately just drags too much to be consistently interesting. The stories of these characters range from mildly interesting to incredibly boring, and the lack of party interactions is very disappointing. This game is begging for a sequel that solves all these problems and the foundation is cool, but it's just too boring to see through to completion for me, especially when it's competition is games like Persona 5 who take this foundation and fix its problems in new and interesting ways.

possibly the best implementation of a story driven open world game to-date, in the same vein as assassins creed. ghosts of tsushima hits every beat. Its story is very compelling and combat very good, but the stealth could've used a bit more nuance considering how integral it is to the plot. this game is a really good capstone to the ps4 era, but only it's stance system feels new. the rest of this game feels like something I've played before, albeit with much better presentation than any assassins creed game I've ever played. overall, very solid, but not groundbreaking.

I think it's easy to be blinded by all the cringe and shit that often surrounds this game because of its community but it's important to revisit it every once in a while to be reminded of its greatness. Undertale truly is The Video Game of All Time. Its something special that I fear may never be captured again in the same way.
