This game is so funny, charming, and beautifully crafted. It's truly a labour of love and deserves many awards. If you enjoy British comedy or just are from Britain, you'll probably enjoy this a heck of a lot.

Really good remake of the P3 story for the modern age. Definitely worth playing if you want to relive the story in a new way or want to experience it for the first time. The soundtrack is amazing as expected, and the gameplay additions all work very well. Atlus will always get my money.

I think I like this DLC more than the base game. Not to say the base game is bad, it is good. But idk, the DLC has a more compelling story and the smaller cast of characters helps everyone shine a bit brighter. Also 'The Night We Stood' and 'Quiet Storm' are such bangers, I was bopping along to every combat of this DLC. The main game drags its feet a little by the end, but the bite-size nature of this DLC makes it perfect imo. Also Akechi is still best boy.

This game is definitely on-par with the titans of the genre. Aesthetically it's amazing, and it brings a lot of unique systems into the gameplay that all work very well. The soundtrack is also pretty good with a couple of songs that have gone right onto my Spotify playlist.

I did originally play this game on release before the (arguably game-fixing) buffs were granted and dropped it back then, because it was a bit too finicky. But I have thoroughly enjoyed it upon returning and seeing the game balance in a much better state.

My only major nitpick would be that the areas towards the end of the game are essentially just back-to-back elite enemy encounters that go on for far too long, to the point of tedium. It's a slog and it made me wonder whether the devs actually wanted anyone to reach the end of the game. But overall, if you like Souls-like games in the style of FromSoft titles, then definitely don't skip this one. It is ridiculous how detailed and polished this game is considering the team behind it.

I won't lie, I'm a Fate shill, so I was always going to love this game regardless, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is it good. Amazing music, performances, story, visuals, characters, everything!

The only hang-up I would give for people who aren't massively into Fate and/or Musou-like games, is that the combat gameplay *can* get a bit repetitive, but the amazing quality of the game and the fact it's Fate carried me through that easily. There's also a lot of post-game / new game plus content, so you can definitely get your moneys worth!

If you like Fate and/or good Koei Tecmo games, I highly recommend Fate/SR! :D

I beat my very first ever run of this game, as well as the daily challenge immediately afterwards. No idea why people consider this game unbalanced or hard, it's challenging but in a way which is engaging and entirely fair. It just requires some careful thought. Sometimes luck can work against you, but that's just typical for the genre.

Love the artwork, love the card interactions/effects, love the soundtrack. All in all, one of the best deckbuilder roguelikes going. I will be playing much more!

I've 100%'d the game now. It's a very fun game and I loved the art style and music enough to play it for 20+ hours and get all* the achievements. But this game does come with quite a few bugs, especially around followers and their routines, as well as enemy spawns. However the devs seem to be very sincere about patching the game so I'm sure it'll be ironed out in no time. The combat can get very samey and repetitive, but I think that's more just a symptom of the roguelike genre. I love this game a lot, and if you like the vibes or just a good roguelike/hack n slash then I can't recommend this game enough! :D

Cute lil cat game with a neat story. A quick 4 hour adventure with some replayability. Would recommend!

I'm not a big fan of Souls-like and/or Rogue-lite mechanics in games, but this game for the most part manages to balance out that element of death always looming and difficulty very well. It's also a very stylish game, with some great writing, characters, and scenery. Completing this game scratches a very niche itch, I recommend everyone does it.

Quite repetitive gameplay wise, but a big improvement as far as 'Tales of' games go. Interesting story and characters, all of whom are quite likeable. Love the music and aesthetic too. If you're a JRPG fan, it's definitely worth picking up.
