This game was amazing. The changes made to the SMT formula are greatly appreciated, but at the same time, the game still has the challenge and feel of the rest of the series. The new semi-open world does wonders for this game, and is a good replacement for dungeons, as there’s plenty of content in the various areas you visit. From collecting miman to unique area bosses, there’s always something that kept me feeling fulfilled and engaged while playing, even if I wasn’t progressing in the story. Speaking of, the weakest link is this game is probably the writing, but I don’t find it bad or anything. It just has some off pacing and the story doesn’t really get going until the second-half of the game. But despite this, I still enjoyed the characters this game introduced, and I absolutely want to do the other routes soon (I got the neutral ending). So, to repeat the start, this game is amazing, 100% my goty, and I would highly recommend to any rpg fan who hasn’t already started.
