The idea of following up one of the greatest video games of all time was probably pretty damn daunting. And, I don't think they quite surpassed it, but they still ended up in a rarified air. These games are just so fun, the world is so well-realized, and the gameplay is so addictive. The whole Zonai device things was maybe a little better in concept than execution, unless you're one of those lunatics on Tik Tok that make Gundams or whatever. The biggest thing that I love about these games is the aesthetic. I will take a game that looks this gorgeous, and leans into its own look, over some hyper-realistic game that will age like milk in a few years when better processors are invented. Let games look beautiful, not real.
