After having played several entries in the SMT franchise, I was incredibly hyped for this game. Overall, it didn't meet my expectations set by prior entries.

The story is admittedly lacking, however the atmosphere, gameplay, and music is arguably near the top of the franchise.

I did not expect this game to be as good as it was.

My first exposure to Kotaro Uchikoshi's works and I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of them.

This game got me back into playing single-player games and I am eternally grateful for that.
