Yo so I don’t typically make comments like this, but just wanted to say this was good shit. Very concise and easy to follow breakdown of the game and it’s secondary and tertiary mechanics without being too overwhelming. I’ve found that many KZfaq reviewers over the years fill their reviews with flowery rhetoric and editorialization, but yours was a no frills breakdown. Need more reviewers like you on KZfaq. Cheers.

@mermaidinamanhole5796 2 жыл бұрын

Exactly bro. For a noob like me who haven't played any Tales game, this review is so engaging and easy to digest. And yes, not overwhelming. I wanna say we have that same distaste when it comes to reviews using too much drama. Well atleast in my opinion. This guy is my idea of a game review-tuber.

I love the game, the only issue i have with it is how utterly tanky enemies can be even when you're at simular level. even with the instant killing of normal enemies via the boost attack can take a while sometimes and don't get me started on the bosses. but still it's a pretty good game and easily makes it one of the top if not the greatest game in the series.

I feel the Alphen and Shionne relationship early on makes sense, and it doesn't make it hard, just could see why they are what they are. And I feel it's like a real life relationship at an uncanny alliance.

@xenrusxenomorph2268 2 жыл бұрын

From what little I have played of the game (about 16 hours into the story with sidequests and grinding.) Shionne has her moments but especially in Cyslodia... man she is at her worst there. Which I guess is good for the story but I could not stand her interaction with everyone there. I wanted her to just tumble down a cliff side and shut up. Also I dont find the "cat" (more like lion) fighting between her and Rinwell at all in that chapter. Suffice it today though. The interactions during their time getting a feel for each other in the Greens area is nice.

@mksmike 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, too bad they waste Shionne by not giving her a proper backstory and making her inconsistent as a result. Her story begins when she meets Alphen. And it would've been fine if she had no goal or if her goal didn't imply she cared about other people all along. Problem is, based on what we know she never experienced any kind of compassion, love or affection before. Heck, even Dohalim gets a couple cutscenes so we can see where he's coming from.
