must a game be good? is it not enough for it to just be cute and addictive?

i remember spending hours of my childhood just playing this game. recently replayed it a while ago and genuinely had a ton of fun playing it. definitely needs more love and attention

the story is atrocious and definitely a massive stepdown from the original smt iv. but it's worth playing for the gameplay alone, which is the best smt as a whole as ever had
