The story is trash, despite some interesting ideas. I got the very underwhelming Chaos ending, so I went looking for the "canon" Neutral ending on YouTube and it was just as bad.
There is like no payoff for any plot point. Almost nothing is explained, you just wander around the terrible Tokyo map (while Mikado is completely ignored) doing fetch quests and killing demons for random people.
And all of this is just made worse by the disgusting English dub, and the character design and artstyle which I personally don't like at all.

And don't get me started on the awful Alignment system. It's almost impossible to get on the Neutral path without following an extremely strict guide (they literally suggest you to not do any side quest). So you're stuck with Flynn becoming an extremist genocidal piece of shit.

The combat is fun in the first half of the game or so, but becomes extremely boring towards the end of the game when you just start to spam Megidola on all encounters. Also the bosses are mostly frustrating damage sponges that unfairly one shot your entire team if the luck isn't on your side. So most of them were just a matter of how many times I needed to close and reopen the game before I got lucky.

I think this series is stuck in the past, there's a reason it naturally shifted into Persona. There you have an actual story, with actual dungeons, and actual characters you can interact with.

Wow the story is such a huge step down compared to Spider-Man PS4, was it written by a 16 years old kid? Miles is basically a young Peter Parker pretending to be black and the other characters are forgettable at best. This definitely doesn't have enough content or additions to justify full price, it's short even for a stand-alone DLC. The gameplay was just more of the same, except for the swinging which improved a lot, so I still had a lot of fun. Going to have like 80 hours on this cause I'll come back every couple of weeks to swing around until Spider-Man 2 comes out.

Good game overall, although it's a shame that the combat becomes absolutely garbage for a while after the "volcano event". The bosses are mostly trash; this combat system is so fun against normal enemies but it's clearly not made for boss fights, so why is the game filled with them? All of them are 90% R1/RB spam and 10% of trying to hit, now try to play that with all your stats lowered.
Rice farming is very tedious at the beginning but gets more "fun" as you progress, the game is generally not well paced.
The story is pretty decent for an anime game, but the game overall is too slow at the beginning and way too long.
Good starting point for a better polished sequel.

Way too much backtracking, and the game ironically doesn't hold your hand enough.

Also, the combat is in a tier of difficulty that I don't like at all. It's a little too punishing if you're aggressive but gets extremely easy if you're slow (especially because parries are OP). So it makes some enemies even more tedious to fight because you can't beat them by being fast and aggressive.

The art style was gorgeous for the most part but the locations backgrounds of the early game are mostly bland and generic.

The game is decent if you like doing tedious backtracking and if you have enough free time, I personally don't want to play a game where in order to progress the two options are:
- explore every room of the map at random, since there are no clues given by NPCs on where to go next
- search what to do on Google and "ruin" the experience

Nobody understands the FROM SOFTWARE souls formula. We need SOME clues to at least progress the game; going around randomly is not fun, especially when there are practically no movement skills like fast dashes or double jumps (at least not in the first 4 hours I played).

I fully expected to hear obnoxious meta jokes over and over, but this wasn't the case. The dialogues are mostly just decent but there's a lot of funny lines. The gameplay is really fun, nothing groundbreaking but I was never bored while shooting and exploring. There's just two main problems I had with it; there's little to no variety of enemies throughout the whole game and there's a lot of bugs (mostly stuff that can be fixed with patches). Luckily I didn't found anything game-breaking, just annoying little glitches. Overall it's a good game and a nice change of pace, people here giving low scores because "the jokes are cringe" are just pretentious

Started great. Really fun, the enemies weren't too many and the 6 items slot wasn't hard to manage. Then it slowly starts to get worse and worse, and by the time you get to the basement the game gets completely fucked. With no map you have to walk back and forth from the save-room 5000 fucking times because there are like 5 main puzzles active at a time and the game throws around all kinds of different items. Plus the enemies are literally everywhere and they get tougher and tougher making it a drag even to walk around. The story also doesn't help since it's the usual uninteresting abstract shit that requires you to go look it up on youtube (only to find out that it's as trashy as you thought it was). Oh, and of course it's full of random cringe waifus covered in blood. What a waste...
