Not sure why this gets so much love as Tales games go, but maybe it's because I didn't play it until almost a decade later. I feel like Tales of Xillia and Berseria dunk all over this. Still, a good game and as Tales games go, was entertaining enough that I got through to the end, despite my general aversion to ARPGs in this vein.

I enjoyed this when I played it, but have to classify it as abandoned -- one of the levels near the end of the game in the GameCube version had a bug where upon dying, I would spawn and immediately fall through the platform to my death again...and again...and again. After losing all my lives I had stocked up, I will ill-motivated to give it another go.
At least it was fun up to that point.

Got this on Steam when it came out because I thought it was one of the coolest ideas ever, as someone who loved DDR/ITG/Stepmania.
The game was completely off-sync when going through tracks. I (and a number of other people) contacted the developer about this and they said they were working on fixing it.
SPOILER/NOT SPOILER -- It never got fixed. What wasted potential.

An obtuse game in the vein of Myst and the like back in the day, but with some very interesting elements to the "labyrinth" aspect of the game. The game was okay for me overall, but really just writing this to note that there should be a PC-DOS version for "Platforms", as I definitely played this on Windows 95 back then.

The saddest part about this game is that it had a lot of potential but never really got enough of an audience to have an opportunity to be an interesting/good game. Multiplayer was essentially a sparse experience altogether. The objectives were not always logical in some levels, which certainly didn't help it.
This could have been a wonderful predecessor to Dead By Daylight, albeit with unique monsters and not horror movie villains.
