Solid JRPG experience and probably the best entry point for newcomers. Combat system is great, music is catchy and energetic, bosses are well designed, etc. From a game-play standpoint you really can't go wrong and there are so many fun party setups and builds you can play with.

I do have a few issues but none are deal breaking.
These include;
1. The side-quests are numerous and are mostly boring.
2. The story in Canon Route isn't that good and while the Vengeance Route story is good, it's not amazing.
3. The alignment system is mid.

Overall I do recommend the game, you can't go wrong with a little post apocalyptic demon mayhem.

It's a classic for a reason.
Excellent dungeon crawling, simple but intuitive and combat system, etc. This is all on top of great art direction, a unique OST and ethereal story.
The port could use some work, a 30fps lock and old crunchy OST could hurt the experience. The turn based nature of the game means the 30fps isn't hurting your reaction times and there is a great mod that restores the OST audio quality.
With those in mind I cannot stress how great this game is and I would high recommend playing the Maniax/Chronicle versions for the extra content.

Games like this remind me of why I love video games and the stories they can tell. Anyone who doesn't play and beat this game is doing themselves a massive disservice. Go in blind and experience the best game of 2022.

It's like I really did get that job at Amazon!

One of the greatest Fromsoft games ever made, probably my favourite alongside Sekiro. Great customisation, action, set-pieces, music, characters and narrative. There is no better feeling than going back to S rank the missions and annihilate all those bosses that gave you trouble on the first playthrough. It may all seem overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of it the game really isn't that hard. Highly recommend for fans of action games, mecha and/or Fromsoftware.

Fromsoftware's best fantasy action game. You get to experience going from a novice to a real shinobi, and the process couldn't be more exhilarating. The posture mechanic is a genius addition that adds a lot to the flow of combat and the prosthetics allow you to add your own personal expression to fights. Be warned, if you play this game like any of their Souls style games, you are in for a really bad time. This is first and foremost a character action game made by Fromsoft and requires aggression, precise timing and a sense of rhythm. Remember, hesitation is defeat.

If they wanted to make an FGO fighter, they should have made an FGO fighter.

Fatshark learnt absolutely nothing from Vermintide 2. They somehow made a game that is just as buggy as launch Vermintide 2, with a worse grind, less content (4 classes on launch instead of Vermintide 2's 15) and 2 minute loading screens even while using an SSD. The Penance system is garbage, with many of them requiring you to grief your own team or do the impossible. The character customisation only seems to exist to make sure that Fatshark doesn't have to write actually interesting characters like they did for Vermintide, which means all the dialogue is boring and pointless. Hard pass from me, it's sad how bad this game is.

I stayed up to play this game instead of getting some sleep before work.

High speed gameplay, tight controls, immaculate OST, stunning visuals w/ incredibly detailed planes, great mission variety, corny dialogue and what's that? Awesome DLC missions AND planes that aren't actually required S rank everything, yet are still powerful an unique? If Ace Combat Zero didn't exist I'd say this is a contender for the best Ace Combat game, I cannot wait to see what the next game has in store for us!
