This review contains spoilers
so when i had finished the initial 2 endings i was going to give this a simple but overall positive but mixed review of this game having some overall pacing issues but interesting ideas and some genuinely tense moments until i reached the point where i had to complete all 6 routes revolving around the characters in this game (which are required in Noah to see the true ending) and well... it complicated my thoughts to say the least.
having finished the game now i can safely say that I think takumi is a horrible protagonist, and more obviously a horrible person. this would be less of a problem if by the end the game didn't expect me to believe he is rehabilitated, which is something i did not think was earned through the various character endings where he has to put aside his constant sexual assault fantasies in order to progress the damn plot. this is unforgivable to me, especially considering more times than not these end in him and said girl falling in love. am i supposed to just side step this because he pulls through in the end? that makes him redeemed? in my opinion it doesn't and this game does not earn takumi that reward as it seemingly would like to
safe to say these routes soured me on the game a lot, although i still believed that the actual Writing of hopeful moments in this game were pretty well done (despite contexts making them feel a bit unearned) and i enjoyed a fair bit of ayase and sena's routes. this still results in a overall net negative for me and i'm not sure i can earnestly recommend it with the views i have on the game. people seem to enjoy it tho so idk i'm just a girl on the internet

one thing about me is i love a style over substance ps2 action game and this was very much that. played it over a discord stream with some friends and had a great time highly recommend if you have about an hour or so on your hands
also the model viewer in this game is presented with an action figure aesthetic which is really fun and i love that

enjoyable tactical rpg with some flaws but none that i think are game breaking or as extreme as some people would say (including the 3D art style added to this remake but thats entirely subjective)
if i had a complaint it would be that the final bosses for both campaigns were both pretty underwhelming (the second campaign moreso) speaking as someone who isn't really that interested in challenges in games
other than that i'd say this is perfectly worth your time and i hope square allows forever to work out the flaws with this remake on the second one

metroid has always been a fascination of mine something that's always existed out of the periphery of my grasp seeing them on store shelfs and game magazines reading about the games online coming into singular contact with an xbox snes emulator where i played all of 20 minutes of super metroid. i've always appreciated samus seeing her from afar but never actually knowing her or fully stepping into her shoes. i've basically spent my entire life imagining what it's like to play through an entire metroid game until now where i've finally gotten my hands on one and safe to say it lived up to every bit of expectations i had. everything about this game is so well crafted and designed for anyone to be able to learn the ropes, there are so many visual queues that tell you what you need to do in incredibly smart ways and as someone who very rarely is able to push through games that pose a decent challenge this one did a good job of making me feel like i was always learning from my deaths every boss that i died to so many times i beat in that same sitting because everytime i died i learned something it's just so good and i love this game and i'm excited to be able to join in when metroid's future is the brightest it has been in such a long time (insane that this is currently the best selling metroid game ever???) i'm excited to hopefully get onto playing the prime games before the 4th one eventually comes. see you then!
a bit rough around the edges (as well as some bad crashes exclusive to this hd version) and a pretty basic story but i had fun with this and having played a little bit of the sequel remake already i know that a lot of ideas here got executed in the end so it's hard to feel to bad about that
lovely design and music <3

played this for the very first time last year and it immediately became one of my most treasured games. i'm a huge fan of games that are too ambitious for their own good and think it handles it well here. everything about it just hit right for me the collage story mixing and matching different sci-fi and mecha tropes with a dash of the writers obsessions with certain themes, the combo themed battle system and the mech boost system, the unusual second disc it all just worked for me nothing that people nitpicked really hit me in the wrong way and the characters stories went places that multiple times i braced for impact of something terrible only for it to be treated respectfully (namely billy and id's stories) the only bad thing people say about this game that i can agree with to be honest is that the platforming is bad but like . .who cares?
i had a really great time finally being able to play this! really enjoyed the atmosphere it had everything comes together really beautifully. the only genuine complaint i have is that the thermal vision makes me dizzy but that is more of a just of a me thing other than that it's a really lovely game and i'm excited to see the echoes remaster that is presumably in the pipeline

they truly had 5 dollars and a dream.. . rukia is the only character i enjoyed playing as and i couldn't figure out how to unlock the only unlockable character after beating all the stories so
i'm an admitted fabula nova crystallis Liker so i thought this was a neat little game filled with some interesting ideas even if they don't all meet the mark exactly. I really did enjoy the story and characters here (even if i had preferred for everyone to actually get some kind of arc). main issue i had with this one had to do with this specific release because the HD models for the main cast look like they do .. not belong in the same world as everything else, i honestly probably would have preferred the visual look of just the psp game upscaled a bit (but im not a Graphics Girlie really)
It's a shame the follow up to this was canned it looked sick as hell and it would have been nice to see some of the ideas here solidified but such is square enix and their practices
