Such a hard game for me to rate. Noctis and the bros are its all-time best highlight, such an easily lovable group of dudes who I adore deeply, and that alone carries the stars I'm giving this game. The rest of this game, unfortunately, left me wanting. I wish I could say I enjoyed it more, but the gameplay just wasn't for me, and even immediately after finishing the game I couldn't explain to you a single thing about the story with a gun to my head because it was so poorly written. While playing, all I could think about was how confused I was and how much I wanted it to be over. As much as I love the main 4 and will gladly consume any content about them, it's not a game I'll ever see myself personally being inclined to replay.
