Used to shit on this game quite a bit and I'm not too sure why, but getting to try it out with PS+ made me change my mind pretty quick
The art and character designs are all cool, and there's some neat mechanics in here, too. So far I've been sticking to one character so I can't say much about how the rest of the cast feels, and I've also only played a couple (relatively non-laggy) online matches so that's another topic I can't speak much on.
I loved checking out the glossary and thought it was really nice seeing a whole section dedicated to regular fighting game terms. This game feels pretty beginner friendly, and I like it.

got lost for too long in the spider cave in chapter 7, don't feel like going back nd running around everywhere to upgrade the field skills some more
maybe i'll come back to it, as of right now i just wanna play xbc3 lol
getting into some actual details, I enjoyed most of what I played. The combat was decently fun and felt like an auditory seizure every time, but it's okay bc it funny
The voice acting felt incredibly awkward most of the time, but Zeke and Morag had some pretty cool moments. Definitely my favorite of the cast, along with their blades.
Last point, I didn't have too many problems with the whole 'gacha' mechanic. At least, until I started rolling like 30+ crystals and still not getting any good blades. Interesting game with some 'interesting' mechanics and funny accents.
3.5/5, might bump it up whenever I actually finish it. I had a very hard time taking this game seriously.

update from 3 days later because i'm a liar and went back to this game the very next day. I still stand by everything I said. Just to add a bit more good to this review, a lot of the environments were really cool (even if some of them were a bit confusing to navigate), and the music was also very good, obviously. 7/10 game, still definitely prefer the first game, and i'm looking forward to playing xbc3 eventually
