A mainline title released in the vein of Lulua. Lulua was a pretty big letdown for me, one of the biggest since the PS3 era began. Sophie doesn't disappoint me like that at all...there's simply a very conspicuous downgrade in effort compared to the other true mainline titles like Lydie & Suelle and Ryza 2, like it was purposefully downscaled from those. I don't mind that, and with that in mind the game is excellent for its scale. Comfortably middle of the pack in the series for me.
