10/10 - a perfect game with minimal to no flaws that stuck with me and changed how I view the medium

7/10 - a good game that I enjoyed for the most part and would recommend
6/10 - an alright game that had more good than bad, but I had to force myself to see it through
5/10 - not good, but not bad either
4/10 - more bad than good, but there's potential here to be something better
3/10 - a bad game that has glaring flaws and little room for improvement
2/10 - a terrible game with no good aspects or saving graces
1/10 - an offensively horrible game that's either not functional or just straight-up disgusting

Close enough, welcome home SUPERHOT 2!
I felt a pit in my stomach as the game came to a close. It was so beautiful but so destructive as well. I think this could've been my favourite of the Persona games I've played so far, but it's held back in certain spots.
While I think the story and characters came together beautifully by the end, I think the first half-ish of this game is super weak. The story isn't that interesting, and the characters all feel a little too disconnected, and the game doesn't really give you opportunities to remedy that until the back half. I understand this was probably intentional, so this isn't a major sticking point for me, but I think I'm also just getting tired of the typical persona character antics (ala Junpei's IM A SEX OFFENDER shtick). That being said, this is easily my favourite cast now, though I can't say I loved most of the external social links, most of them felt pretty weak.
I still vastly prefer palaces to 3 and 4's dungeon structures, so Tartarus didn't do this game any favours. I appreciate that they put in a lot to keep it refreshing and prevent repetitiveness, but I don't think anything could've made 266 floors any more enjoyable. I can't say I hated it, but I definitely didn't love it.
Will always cherish this experience, just wish it could've come in a slightly improved package to really take it the extra mile for me.

What a sleeper hit out of nowhere! This is a really novel and unique concept, super fresh for the Metroidvania genre. I really appreciate that this is a Zelda/Metroid hybrid; it makes a really strong experience. The world is fun to explore, with robust and helpful mapping tools and completion trackers to ensure you don't spend late game hours searching the overworld for an item you couldn't get three hours ago. The gameplay is smooth and fun, with a great drip feed of upgrades. It even has a surprisingly dense post-game. Just a great game.
