It's always the worst feeling whenever you play something that everyone else likes...and you just don't get it. All I ever hear anyone say is "Oh, Explorers of Sky is so good, it's beautiful, you'll love it so much" and man...really man? People really love this game for it's story and uh. This shit is not great man. The first half just doesn't matter, and when the story finally starts going places, it's predictable and uninteresting. The only part where I felt anything was the ending which, I will admit, is extremely well done. The characters are all just annoying or stock generic characters (besides Grovyle, I liked Grovyle) and it just really didn't move me a ton. I guess it does some cool time travel stuff? maybe? I feel like most people judge it exclusively off of the end, which is amazing in a vacuum, but even then SPOILERS THE MC COMES BACK SO WHO CARES? The gameplay is even worse. There is nothing going on here. Mystery Dungeon gameplay BLOWS, I hate this shit so much. Honestly, if I didn't have the save states on the WII U I would've lost my mind this shit SUCKS. All luck, only really fun and playable if you have a ton of really good items, and it's just a slog and boring. The fact that there is a non 0 chance that every room I walk into could be a Monster House and just kill me is one of the worst design decisions I have EVER seen. It's incredibly awful. I understand the love for this game to an extent, but I feel like no one ever stops and actually looks at it as a whole. Look at the whole game. Not just the final scene which carries this game on it's BACK. Music does slap though I must say.
