I find it quite difficult to give Replicant a thumbs down, even though it may be deserving of one. The game has flaws, however there is absolute beauty to be found beneath its drab sequences, gameplay and side quests. It certainly lured me in, despite its flaws being made apparent. I was determined to see it all the way through to ending E, and it was absolutely brilliant. It made the prior playthroughs worth it because I was on the verge of dropping it after my third run. I felt as though it was all worth while and all those little drags and downs, led to such heights and magnificent moments. Grimoire Weiss is my favourite character. He is very charming, funny and always a joy to listen to speak. The soundtrack is one of the best I've ever listened to, that alone makes this game worth it. To those who haven’t played, please be aware that this game is from a different generation. There are many things to nitpick but if you are willing to persevere, you will be rewarded to a one of a kind experience. I certainly was.

Main game is tedium incarnate. No, I do not want to do yet another fishing minigame, either.
