honestly kinda liking it ngl.

EDIT: Okay so I'm going to caveat this...

I feel its worth the 20 bucks on sale. Definitely not full price:

Stiff animations, terrible voice acting of side characters, weird cut scene delays and just a lot of random stuff that feels unfinished and lack of care. There's also these random parts where you must interact with several paintings/people/items etc and it just feels tedious and annoying. I'm not sure what they were thinking with some of these design choices.

The combat is very fun, traversing feels really cool (although its a bit jank at times) and the boss fights are fun so far.

it's a conflicting one.

I also don't mind Frey as much as other people do. I kind of like the feisty attitude.

Mechanically the game is fine, the story, characters and protagonist is however awfully written.

Not at full price. Get it on a steep sale if you can.

Conceptually, this game is great. The word, the story, the magic, the characters, Cuff! All things that are begging for praise to be sung about them. The problem is this game was rushed, and it shows from the very first moments of play. I think this game could have been a real gem with just a bit more time in development.

The script, at times, also leaves a lot to be desired. I absolutely love Frey and Cuff, and if they were given just a bit more time on writing, they would have really benn able to shine through some of the rougher sides of this game. Voice acting is on point, and the humorous dialog can be enjoyable, but it all feels a little disjointed.

I'll continue to play through the whole game, but I don't think I'll be shaking the feeling of what could have been. Because of the lack luster response this game got, I doubt Square will be putting out a second one, but if they did, and if it actually gets the development focus it deserves, they could really save this. Doubt we'll get that lucky.
