This game has a lot of issues even for the typical Bandai Namco jive. It has the potential to be a truly remarkable anime game but it does not succeed, and on top of that it fails HARD. it tries to provide a deep narrative that becomes overly complex and throws plot twist at you every 10 minutes, then throws the plot point out the window completely and never brings it up. I wish I was exaggerating but even right before beating the game, I could NOT tolerate it. The combat is great, but enemies are overpowered and SAS powers are inconsistent in efficiency even on Very Easy mode. It's really sad that a game so aesthetically pleasing ends up going down the shitter in quality. How are you going to render cutscenes in game, then make them transition mid-scene to a v-novel style and use that for 75% of the story? just disgraceful for a PS4/XB1 game. This is PS2 level of budget cutscenes. Just a lot is wrong with this game, definitely a skip and should NOT have been nominated at The Game Awards last year.
