this game really made a big turn in my opinion, while the combat is always outstandingly fun i can't say there was a boring moment in this game i think all the gameplay elements are amazing and my only gripe is the first 70% of the story being lackluster and not making sense but after that was surpassed i would say the twists and events that were partaken in the story were excellent writing choices. im still yet to delve into the chaos difficulty but i will be getting 100% completion for this game and im excited to take part in the big grind ahead, good work team ninja and square enix. in conclusion i recommend this game to souls like enjoyers as the combat is not too dissimilar and i recommend it to hack and slash rpg fans as well as final fantasy fans looking for an interesting spin off with mechanics unlike the other games ,7/10
