was fun & addictive for a while but I quit for a multitude of reasons. it got way too grindy, the inspo for the hilichurls was EXTREMELY uncomfortable, the company is just crummy in general and has incredibly poor customer support, eula's family thing was...........no. all in all i decided it's not worth me wasting my life anymore.

I would really love to see this game get a remake more than any other Tales. The story is the best in the series and the characters are unforgettable, but unfortunately the gameplay hasn't aged amazingly well and the dungeons are tiresome. It's a classic for a reason, though, and Karma by Bump of Chicken is THEE all-time banger.

A very pleasant little restaurant simulator! I love how cute everything looks and the character customization. The gameplay can get a touch repetitive so I find it is best to play in small bursts. Still, it's really cute and a fun way to unwind at the end of the day...but don't get too relaxed! That lunch rush is no joke!!

Graces is criminally underrated within the series. The story is cliche, but whatever. What we're REALLY here for is a) the best battle system in any Tales game hands down, and b) Asbel and Richard's relationship. I don't even have to write the fanfic. It's all there, dudes. This game literally has a whole epilogue where they try to convince you Asbel is straight and it still failed.
ALSO, Sophie is my beautiful daughter and Cheria is a sweetheart. Pascal is questionable at first but she gets really good as the game goes on. Malik is alright. TBH I liked Hubert as a kid but as an adult I think he plays the devil's advocate on Reddit.
BUT LIKE THE GAMEPLAY????? It's so good. I adored the battle system. So underrated, this game slams, we love Graces in this house,

This was my first ever Hitman game and I had a great time with it! I admire the creativity that went into this -- there are so many different ways to achieve your objective. For such a grim premise, many of the assassination methods are unexpectedly hilarious, so I can appreciate the dark humour as well. I surprised myself with how many times I replayed certain levels just to get all the different outcomes.
