the first 2-3 hours were truly magical, and luckily i experienced most of the game at that point but i had to use a guide after a while when hitting the same ending over and over. i dont mind using guides in games where the story is more interesting than the gameplay (faith, who's lila, moon, siren) but the last enemy encounter is so lazy and unbalanced it kind of ruined the ending for me. i was on the hardest difficulty so maybe thats my fault but even so i can't imagine someone on an easier difficulty enjoying themselves there.

spoilers:

also, i just finished who's lila, and pretty much any meta/arg narrative is just gonna be "not as good as who's lila", wasn't too impressed but i still enjoyed it
