This is like the 2nd fastest I’ve dropped a game I think. Don’t wanna give this one anymore of a chance, I’ll just watch a yt vid and move on to the next.
I really really really don’t like the gameplay in this one
After watching playthru: The plot sucks too

Incredibly good game, from the countless biblical and demonology references, to what was showed of what humans would do under dire circumstances and the different decisions they would make depending on their background and upbringing, and a few other things as well. Really liked the different endings that were available in the game and gave different perspectives on choices. Though as any Atlus game, it definitely didn't come without its frustrations and struggles, though overall, the gameplay was fine

Live Happily or some bullshit, who knows

Best of the trilogy. Do have issues but thought Kevin and his whole thing was pretty decent and definitely related to certain aspects of his character, Reis was a nice addition also, nothing extravagant or big but did well, don't have anything to say on any of the other characters as they felt like bit parts. Kind of was expecting a bit more after the starting bit but was underwhelmed just a bit, but still overall was decent. So far in the series, seems to always have one section of the game that's either stale or padded out for length which really throws off the pacing at times and something I really don't appreciate and wanes my interest, iirc it was ch. 5 or 6 in this game where I got that feeling which was kind of a blow cuz as I said earlier, was expecting a good bit based off how the game started.

Ik it’s only the start but frankly it’s not good in any regard so far, not surprised. Hoyoverse managed to use the name of their best project, and turned it to boring slop like the other 2+ IPs they have. It’s a completely new game I really just don’t get the point of the “Part 2” (money reasons yes I know). Incredibly boring/bad designs, nothing of note or of interest to take away from the story so far. Boring storytelling and dialogue, since end of part 1 they’ve shifted the writing style to something w a lot of filler words, words of nothing, and it’s so much more evident here. Panders to a new fanbase but not to a returner player at all. How I wish I could see the downfall of this company, I need a money laundering scandal to pop up or something, I’ll be the first person to be there

Feels like a huge step up from P1 in every way, gameplay was nice, turn based was much better and wasn't a hassle to get thru, navigating was fine, all on top of the story which was leaps and bounds better and found it really good

I don't think I've ever seen a game TRY to make you hate it. Its full of BS, Psycho Rage, Panic, Stone, Random Elemental Skills no one has heard of, Invisible Bosses, Calm Sleep, bosses spamming Mudo skill 6 times in a row, etc. there are so many mechanics that are near impossible to maneuver and avoid it can make the game extremely frustrating in its difficulty. But behind that makes it a fun game both in difficulty sense and other aspects. While it can be frustrating, finding different strategies and changing movesets on the fly was something that I appreciated and something new to me (I think unless im forgetting another game I've played does that) and added a new degree to it. The story set up pretty nicely, would've liked a little more interaction between the group of 5/6 main cast but what was there was fine and sequel seems it could be something more. Serph was an alright silent protagonist, I think there's a lot more that could've been done with him cuz he does feel a bit bland or underwhelming

This somehow felt a fair bit shorter than 1 for me. Prefer 1 to it also. Tho while I think its on the same "level" I think 1 just did better things in gameplay and bosses. 2's plot was different from what I was expecting but still delivered it and the conclusion well

Nice start, good pacing and easy to get through, nothing much else to say as its the first installment of 4. Ig if I had anything to say, it would be about the mystery solving aspect, some clues don't get mentioned in the build up or require you to have knowledge on specific literature or flowers, would've made that aspect more fun to solve if it wasn't exactly like that

"So long as we're together. I'm not afraid of anything"
After seeing Yuzu be a side character who was looked up to by every other character so far, having this POV of her, was nice to see what's actually behind her mask. Thought it tackled the conflictions of sexuality and religious faith pretty well, something at least I haven't seen much of in media so far. The extra chapter has me excited to finish this

Enjoyed the game throughout, especially the World of Balance portion, I thought that was great. World of Ruin was good but at times felt a bit overwhelming for me personally, though me pulling an all nighter to do it in one sitting before the end of the year could've contributed to that

I have no idea where to start. Seeing all the characters grow over the course of 4 VNs was great, don't think that wasn't the case for any of the main cast, even Rikka who I disliked for most of the series lmao. The relationships formed and how they grew was definitely my favourite aspect. The mystery was well built up across the VNs, from the start there was always something built upon, whether it was subtle or in your face. The references to literature, movies, or the secondary meanings to different flowers added so much meaning to different situations throughout, brought me into the series even more. I feel I have so much to say about this, I could keep rambling about it, or just not have the ability to sum it up with words

Game definitely beat expectations, had way more fun w the gameplay than I thought I was going to and story was great as expected. Only gripe is disc 2, while great in story, obviously with the budget issues, kinda flows weird, like a VN but still a game and having cutscenes back to back to back to back can be tiring at times so lost focus a few times during, on top of there maybe being a few pacing issues, but otherwise disc 2 was still good

A lot of issues with the game imo, the first 6 months are either completely barren or every plot event just feels completely rushed and/or pointless. Everyday feels repetitive and boring, important/interesting social links are locked behind social skills which add to the slow start. Tartarus is insanely boring and a job to get thru, not fun. The last 3 months is a step up but not saying much, characters still felt rushed or didnt get the time they needed to become good. The main cast just doesnt feel developed and together bar a couple like Aigis and maybe one other

GOING TO REITERATE!!!, THIS APPLIES JUST TO PART ONE
The graphic for part 1 I don't like so I don't want it on my favorite games list so using this one instead. My review to part 1 is under that entry
Love everything prior to some bits of the ending, not going to change rating of it atm though
The Ending just hasnt made me love the series as much as I used to
Still love the series as a whole and the characters dearly, the ending just doesn't give me that sense of feeling as I once did and the part 2 announcement didnt do much for it either as I hate the way theyre going with it
