I was genuinely surprised by this game. i genuinely enjoyed the story, especially the ending of the MP story as it just left my jaw on the floor. feel good anime adventure..... definitely some heart string tugging going on here though so bring tissues for a few scenes.

but.

to get the ultimate weapons, the highest grade content, to 100% this game is beyond ridiculous. i am very much a completionist but when i have to beat the game DOZENS of times to get everything i need? nope. done. thanks for the story. i'm out. i wanna be able to get the ultimate stuff BEFORE i finish the game, not after.

do i recommend it? totally. but if you have that itch for completionist type games, don't start this journey you will hate yourself. I beat the MP's story line, started the FP's and just uninstalled when i realized its the same story from slightly different points of view.

that being said.

story: 10/10
gameplay: 8/10
there are some serious platforming issues in sections, as well as massively cheap deaths and skill ceilings making this game a pain in the butt for anyone with motor control issues. luckily the options has a few ways to combat this a smidge.

graphics: anime niche is what it is.

time investment: HEAVY.

very cool game.

Totally waste time and money.
