soulful 5/10

has really vomit inducing combat, visuals, and the game takes a good while to motivate you to stick with it, but the things that stick out are pretty good in my opinion. mileage may vary drastically but the game has mostly interesting characters and a killer soundtrack (for the most part), with a lot of fun dynamics that gave me a few chuckles i aint gonna lie.

without spoiling, the game isn't nearly as problematic as some people make it out to be, especially since most of that is addressed way later, but there are some weird inconsistencies on what the game wants to intend off certain things due to lackluster writing on those departments which makes it valid to interpret it as outright bigoted.

it still has a generally positive message i can appreciate in spite of stumbling on itself a lot the way there, but it definitely takes it sweet time convincing you of that.

like squirrel shit, it smells like shit, it looks like shit, it is shit, but it came from a living being, one with feelings just like us, its soul, and its our job to pick that shit up and throw it in the trash.

eiji best character dont @ me
