I wish whoever decided to keep the egregiously bad level curve in from OG gen 2 to sit on a spike mace.

Playing this one right after Crystal made me have an appreciation for what they did for this to be a proper remake. For sure the way to play through Gen 2; I regret never playing this when it released as I know I would have been able to fill in the Kanto and Johoto pokemon way easier and actually complete the pokedex way faster.

All in all, an okay time. Gen 3 is still be best in my opinion, Gen 4 is just too damn slow for battles.

What an amazing game, goofy yet immersive survival horror. Bleeds Resident Evil through and through, and that's what makes the game so good. Amazing inventory management, great puzzles, just a fun game.

I will say, the final boss can be cheesed (which actually is needed for the best ending) and the last boss area felt super weak compared to the rest of the game but the best possible ending made it far worth the slight miss. Definitely worth a play if you are big into Resident Evil and similar survival horrors.

This is the only other real gacha besides Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius that I actually can get into. Its surprisingly good! You do get microtransactions shoved in your face in the form of ads that appear after certain milestones are met (clearing a chapter of the story for instance), but these are the only thing I would consider intrusive to the gameplay, and they can be completely ignored.

What this game, in particular, does better than Brave Exvius is the auto battle system. Just about everything can be set to auto and you can sit back while your Nikke do the work. Does this then reduce the gameplay to simply "Big number do good"? Yes, but even if you were manually battling it would still boil down to this anyway.

I still refuse to spend any money on it, because I don't feel as though you need to. All the premium currency you earn as you play, in a fair and balanced matter.

Overall, well worth a try casually
