Wow! Wanted to play this game for a long time but decided to wait for it to become a PlayStation plus game. Absolutely adored my time with this and am planning to get the platinum trophy pretty soon. Loved the gameplay loop of going through the levels over and over to learn the intricacies of the enemies and beat the boss in fewer deaths. The gameplay is intricate and deeply rewarding to master. All of the levels are memorable and contain fantastic multi-staged boss fights. Am excited to try out the arenas mode and will for sure be keeping an eye on future releases from Sloclap.

I've sunk 40 hours into this game already but it would probably be closer to 100 if it weren't for FF7 Rebirth's release. The perfect game to play a run or two while listening to music or a podcast. It feels like I'm only scratching the surface of everything I want to do in this game, i.e. all decks on gold stakes, all challenge decks, and maybe even the platinum trophy if I'm insane enough to attempt that. Would not be surprised at all if this ended up being my game of the year.
Super bummed that I didn't enjoy this game. Loved og ff7 and remake, but this did not do anything for me. Not sure if I'll finish out the series or not.

Really enjoyed this game. Wish it was a bit more challenging at times but it did enough to warrant the 3-4 hour playthrough. I would've probably given this a 4 if the final chapter wasn't so underwhelming.

Had a decent time with the 10 hours I spent in this game. The story seemed solid so far and the combat was fun as well. Really hate how they handled Tartarus though. I know if I would have stuck through this game, that would've driven me insane. Solid game though.

Very cute and cozy little game. Didn't dive too deep into all the side content but I had a fun afternoon with this.

A pretty easy puzzle game but I had a blast with this. The core mechanic if going through worlds within worlds was creative and I feel like they were always throwing in new things to keep you engaged. I quite liked the boss battles as well. They weren't difficult but they were well designed and memorable. I think the last 5th of the game does drag a little bit though as the puzzles get a tad too repetitive and not as mind blowing as I would've wanted for the finale of this game.

After 2 years, I finally restarted this game and played through it in full. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time. The puzzles are so much fun to figure out and I never felt frustrated with the game. The final puzzle is also one of my favorite things I've ever done in a game. Can't recommend this enough.
Was highly anticipating playing this leading up to Hellblade 2 but this game unfortunately did nothing for me. Whole thing was just a slog to get through. The puzzle design was uninspired, the combat was simplistic and repetitive, and the game just felt sluggish to play. I was hoping the story might carry the game but that too was lackluster. Will still try out the sequel but not sure if I'll get through the whole thing.
