This game has a lot of flaws, but it also offers some of the most content and some of the best gameplay in the series.

The graphics are awful, probably because it was made in the Warriors engine, but the voice performances are impressive and the soundtrack is one of the most creative, beautiful, and inspiring in any video game I've ever played. The gameplay is standard, Fire Emblem tactical action with a random calendar mechanic ripped straight out of Persona.

It's an absolutely colossal game with four complete story routes and hundreds of hours of genuinely great replayability. However, a lot of that replayability comes from lazily reused maps and overworld exploration, which gets old quick. Still, despite its flaws, Three Houses has more than enough good things going for it to make it worthwhile.
