Played through the game a year ago, being interested in the 2d Zelda-esque gameplay.
It’s now among my all-time favourites. I still play it from time to time. Really excited for Project Terra!
The game is just wonderful. Gameplay, style, lore, story, quests, dialogs - all done very well. It has a certain nice unique feel to it too - reminiscent of a lot of old (J)RPGs, but also fresh. The only drawback is that it can be pretty hard at certain points, but it’s also part of the charm. You try, learn, overcome and end up satisfied. Having said that, I actually play this game in several week sessions switching to something else in between them cause I become irritated by hard parts after some time. Still have to finish A New Home DLC. But it’s always great to come back when there’s nothing interesting to play. Feels like home, a lot like Death Stranding in that sense
