A consistent experience through and through. Features a varied soundtrack, a cast that goes from solid to great to Randy, recurring character appearances, and a plot that slowly draws you into the life and times of Crossbell State without ever feeling like filler.
The dialogue does an excellent job of rewarding you for sticking your nose in every NPC's business until you lock down your favourites, and that's without mentioning the return of the chest messages from the Sky trilogy.
Combat builds upon the systems from Sky - if you made it through that on Normal, Zero is straightforward on Hard. There's a couple gimmicky encounters as Trails does, but they aren't as frequent as SC's.
