The story isn't the best and the English translation needs some work
The battle system is fantastic, and the music for this game is incredible.
Try it you will enjoy if u like RPG <(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)>

It took me 69 hours to beat this game. And it was worth every minute.

I don't think I have ever been this invested in a story in any other game

I cannot recommend this game enough. I had doubts at first, as the demo is actually very poor (DO NOT PLAY IT when the game asks you, as the game itself does a better job teaching you mechanics). It also is a bit slow to start, as it is very story heavy at the start, taking about 5-10 minutes before actually getting you to gameplay. The intro area has a very obtuse and annoying stumbling block in the torch trading quest to start.

But once it starts, it goes HARD. Once they start giving you new weapons and summons, this game just gets better and better in an addicting way that almost no other game has matched. Its plot is really well done and actually very deep, with a constantly evolving narrative that is much, much deeper than you would think at first, with the actual final villain being far more than ever hinted at in the first half.

But this game. Youl will not regret it.

They made Anubis hot

Don't let the countless gameplay mechanics, nonstop action, flashing lights, systems on top of systems and the pain in your thumb fool you — this game is a grueling visual novel (and that's a good thing).

Do not forget: You are taking other people's treasure, when protecting your own. If the Scale of Destiny favours a soul, it destroys fate of another. Will you change this balance, or cast your eyes aside? Is it true that your choices, bear no responsibilities? Is it true that you commited no crimes?

This is the best game i've ever played. The best plot in all the hundreds of games I've played. Consequence, responsibility, darkness and despondency haunt you throughout the game. Seeing how you literally change people's destinies, trying to find your happiness, drives you into a deep melancholy. The 18 year long adventure brought too many emotions.

Gameplay part might be mad sometimes. Riddles that require a lot of thought to solve without any clues can be quite stifling, but there aren't many of those. Boss fights are the most enjoyable part of this game, in my opinion. And grind in some chapters pisses me of.

The audio component of this game is simply gorgeous, all the songs can be listened to for hours, thanks to the developer for a separate music room.

I already bought this game and its DLC on Switch and beat them both twice, and I still bought them on Steam at full price because they are just that good. The most glowing praise I can offer the game is twofold:

1. You can feel the love the guy who made this poured into it. He didn't make this game to make money. He made it because he had a story he wanted to share with the world. That he can get paid for it is a just a nice bonus.

2. You know that Ratatouille meme with the food critic flashing back to his youth? This game made me feel the exact same way in regards to my childhood memories playing Final Fantasy VII for the first time.

Buy this game. Buy its DLC. Buy it on every platform you can get it on and encourage everyone you know to do likewise. It deserves far more attention than every AAA release in the last 10 years COMBINED.

Am I being hyperbolic? Only slightly.
