while not as on par with III, this game is still awesome, and while the difficulty does fall off, it still retains the charm and challenge of smt, which is very very welcomed.

while it doesn't really top the first one in my eyes, it does in many many respects. but this game really is special. it still does isolate you, and it executes its mechanics so brilliantly and effectively overall that it feels so seemless

played this on switch, not the greatest in the world. but everything else is amazing. i love the characters and story, and the messages are so close to home and it breaks my heart, but it does so because it's true. this game doesn't ever get old.
