Breathtaking soundtrack, nice art and design direction, and a surprisingly compelling story. The gacha system is highly predatory, and that's a real shame, but the content of the game itself is splendid.
In its early stages, the game stood out from competition as a rich open-world action game on mobile devices (that also supported cross-play AND cross-save!). I feel the excitement has tapered considerably over the year(s), though.

Artists everywhere will say that limitations/restrictions are what bring about the most creative inspiration. This game is a grand example.
The lack of clear communication with the other player who plays the game with you is off-putting at first, but illustrates a simultaneously primitive and intriguing type of human interaction. Without speech or gesture, I found the player beside me showing me different scarf upgrades, how to navigate certain areas, etc. etc.
The system isn't without its caveats, though. The game doesn't provide nearly enough depth to truly explore this unique cooperative gameplay style. In the grand scope, it is very linear and unless one is already aware of the second player's existence, this element of the game is lost entirely.
The visuals and sound/music design of the game are splendid, but the gameplay falls short due to some unfortunate oversights.
