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.

Nowhere near my favorite game to play mechanically, but purely for how much I love its story it gets a decent score from me. I wouldn't replay it because I really just don't care for the gameplay, but man, this story and its characters have really shaped my world, and I will always respect the impact and advancements it made for its time. Led to me receiving some of my favorite games in the world so I'll always treasure it for starting the legacy.
I hate this game. Every time i try to play it im like Yup i hated that. Fun battle gameplay saves it by the skin of its teeth from the most abysmal rating ever from me for its completely dogshit DOOKIE ass story
I'll be real it's been forever since I last replayed this and I don't remember shit about the story other than that it made me cry when I was 12 so I'm keeping it at a calm 3 stars until I replay it and see how I feel about it as a whole now. But this game rocked my world playing it as a kid like I was OBSESSSSEDDDDDD + it was my intro into the series. So for nostalgia alone it has a special place in my heart. Also Chrom.

I know they have their differences and if I really thought about it I could probably say stuff specifically for this game. I think maybe it was a little poorer than the first game. But I played this literally immediately after 1 so honestly they just kinda feel like the same game to me. All the same things I loved about 1 I love about this game!!!
I fucking LOOOOOVE pretty much everything about this game!!!!!!! Cast of all time!!!!!!!!!!! JUNPEI AND AKANE AND SNAKE AND LOTUS AND CLOVER AND SANTA YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!!!!!!!!

Another one of my games of the life like GENUINELY. Seriously, the hold this game had on my mind for MONTHS was insane, bc I'm not much of a fan of rogue-likes AND I bought it on a whim just bc I like Greek mythology, but GOOD LORD. This game genuinely changed my life! I still look back on it so fondly and with so so SO much love in my heart. I could list for hours every single thing I love about it. The most utterly perfect game for me. If I had one qualm it's that I wish the story had even more to it past having cleared it a number of times to make me want to continue to replay runs again and again but I think that's a lot more of a "Me never wanting this game to end because I love it so much" thing rather than an actual problem with it LMFAO. Like I just want the story to go on for forever. It has so much replayability and variety and so many small yet really fun features and it feels so good to play and the voice acting is so great and the soundtrack is phenomenal and AHHHHHHH. I could gush about it all freaking day this game makes me feel like a giddy child just THINKING about it. I love this game more than anything. ZAGREUS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS
This game nearly turned me into a furry when i was a kid i should replay it someday. Also midna slays idgaf
I love this game’s story to death but I never had an N64 and the gameplay in this remastered version for 3DS wasn’t my favorite. One day I’ll replay it and write a proper review of my thoughts because it’s been a while!

I don’t remember anything about this game so maybe it sucked idk I was like 6 years old playing this. All I remember is that every time I booted it up I immediately went to the Chao garden to play with the Chao for hours like that shit was Nintendogs. So a perfect gameplay experience for 6 year old me

Kind of super whatever but I had fun playing this for the first time as soon as it released back in the elementary school days while my best friend played through Y alongside me. I would never want to replay it though!
This game goes hard as hell it’s as simple as that. A classic for a reason
Wanted to like it more because of how much I LOVED Emerald as a kid, but found myself easily bored and not wanting to play it most of the time. I think this is probably a mix of this being released around the time I was growing out of my deep childhood obsession with everything Pokemon, and also the fact that I’m really just not a fan of the style of the games post the DS era. Maybe it’s an overstated thing in the community but the 3D models seriously just lack all charm for me personally.
Absolute banger of a game. I should replay it
It’s a classic! Loved it when I was a kid, though I think I’ve played through it and/or watched others play through it too many times so I don’t love it as much as some of the others, but I still do think of it fondly. A solid remake of a great game.
