A very fun game that leaves a positive lasting impression -
however, the game prevents itself from being a 5-star game by its insistence on retaining its archaic controls, not providing an item box or any ability to expand storage, and by THE DAMN INK RIBBONS. Above all else, I HATED having to schedule and plan out my gameplay sessions to make sure I've made enough in-game progress to earn another save. My other gripes include the door-load gimmick, which is just a waste of time on PS5, and the amount of self-imposed fetch-quests (because I have to leave all my key items behind just to be able to hold a gun and ammo) really took me out of parts of the game.
