The negotiations in this game are soooo fun. Many games give you options to talk your way out of a situation, but its often at the cost of interacting with the fun mechanics - but i love that in this game the negotiations are their own thing, and theres quite the emphasis on playing them AND fighting normally. The art style is quite good, and I love the designs.

The music could be better, but outside of battle themes I found myself ignoring a lot of it. I could see it made that way as to not distract from reading, but it still feels like a miss. I also don't see myself doing more than a few more runs after beating the campaigns once, but that's a personal thing.

I liked this title a lot more than I thought I would! The writing was also very witty, and while the plots were not life-changing, they were fun and engaging. I'll def be picking up a run here or there to pass time.

Mostly a very atmospheric city to run around in - the scale feels both small enough to remember but huge enough to feel grand which is honestly its coolest part. The lighting and sound are big things that stuck out to me. Didn't know it used AI art till i saw reviews and double checked it - which is a bit disappointing. I feel like the best parts of this game were already there and it didn't need generated textures to feel uncanny.

One can assume it was the point to use AI to give that uncanny feel, but considering the current climate around it possibly taking my job, I really can't find enjoyment or artistic fulfillment in something like that. Just kinda how it is.
