Came with very high expectations as this is possibly the most glazed game of mainline and was pleasantly surprised when the game really delivered
A very fun gameplay loop in wich I never really felt burnt out by dungeon crawling like in other megaten games, the dungeons are fine and filled with a really varied amount of demons, haven't checked but i wouldn't be surprised if this is the game with the biggest catalogue of different demons, i had to give up on completing the compendium because it would take too long and cost too much money that was hard enough to get already. There's a healthy amount of subquests wich are fine and do a good job of keeping you entertained and spending a decent amount of time in each zone.
The game is very well balanced, I don't recall ever having to stop to grind for XP yet I never felt over or under leveled, every bossfight was pretty challenging and engaging, the only times i felt really overwhelmed and had to change my approach multiple times was for the last three dlc fights wich were just insanely difficult. I really appreciate the freedom you get to build Flynn from the stat spread to the amount of skills you can learn, it makes you feel like any build can work because it's true.
My only complaints are that the Mido fusion interface can be a bit awkward to navigate at first and that the money grind is extremely slow, but then again I was able to do just fine with what I could scrape and rewards from subquests for armor, so maybe it made sense in the setting of the game to make money so hard to get, by the endgame I even got the money farming DLC but even with that it was just too slow so I just gave up on getting the expensive sets on ginza :(.
Game has a stellar soundtrack, had read good things about it before too and it really delivered, i found myself standing still to better appreciate the background music many times.
I really liked the story, felt like both law and chaos were well represented up until the end were both reps became sort of brainless and cliche'd in my opinion but for the rest of the game were really well done. Really liked the setting and world and how they were presented, the highlight of my first run was definetely beating the minotaur and seeing what really lies below Mikado, i didn't expect the twist at all and from that point on got really engaged with the game
So far i've only done neutral runs (wich is a bit of a chore ending to get) but can definetely see myself coming back to get all endings, really loved this game
