This game is one hell of ride. It started slow, really slow. If you're working adult like me, who can't really spend a long time for playing game except on holiday, it was kind of uncomfortable.
But i saw so many good review, and i think, let this game took me how it wanted to be played. Be patient, and see how it goes.
Turns out it was worth it. Stories were getting more intense each chapter, characters were awesome, worlds were beautiful. My playtime is not really that long because i was getting caught in story. If you love exploration, you definitely will love this. I wanted to close this game with good memories i had, not wanting hassle too much in completionist.
Arthur Morgan, you're a good man

Game this huge with performance this good. Combat is satisfying, movement is not as bad as some people claim to be. The wait is over for people who truly wait it,

Just an insane sandbox game with freedom and gorgeous setting

I play Arise after i play Zestiria. To be honest, i don't really fond of Zestiria, combat was messy and not fun, story was kind of dissapointing. After all of that, i try to give Tales Series another chance. This is my review after i reach mid game (i don't think my stance would change after reaching end game since i'm only gonna comment core of the game) :
1. Combat still messy. Honestly i don't really like about Tales's combat formula. If you think playing this on hard/unknown difficulty, it would be frustating. This game is designed to play at solo, because AI companion didn't really offer that much and sometimes they will only be dead weight. They took too much damage and they will drain your CP even before you realise it. Yes you can use some tactic too prevent heal, but if your AI companions were dying, the logical solution was to heal them
2. Still about combat, some bosses (ooze and second lord) were just brute force with numbers, and i don't really like it. Why? Because each of them would attacked you at same time and this is definitely 10 times worse than some souls like game. These things are some that made me think "ok i don't want to play this game for second time" because it were really horrible experience
3. Manual combat is pretty frustating, but semi auto don't really help either. Some skills are just better than other, that you can easily land. Some of them (usually the aerial or upper cut one) are worse
4. World is really beautiful, they were feast to my eyes
5. Characters are memoreable
6. Story is starting strong, but i couldn't say about the ending since i haven't finished it yet

Sorry for my yapping, but i think this game could be better if they just rework their combat formula completely.
TLDR : 7/10 only if you're interested in Tales's story. Combats are awful

This game is imperfect by any means. Buggy, sometimes NPC are scattering around, but don't let it bother you.
This game will feel slow at first, but that's how you need to enjoy it. You need to immerse yourself as Henry from Skalitz, a commoner with nothing going well on his own. I felt like it's been a long time since a RPG hooked me this well and i can't wait to play the second game.

I'm very fond of strategic game since i'm growing up with Civilization IV, but also love fantasy unit with cool design. Total War Warhammer has all of it.
Pretty straightforward, has a lot of factions with different lords and units to play around. The downside is only locked behind dlc paywall. Not really price friendly, but worth it.
I'm only hope that you can play previous campaign from warhammer 1 and 2 in warhammer 3, but there is immortal empire so there's no problem

I played a little in early access, it has good base game, with satisfying combat and some downside too. Here are my reviews (pros and cons) :
1. Recruitment for hunters is pretty annoying. I get it they don't want us to collect all hunters too fast, but it is too costly to recruit the hunters
2. Weapon crafting is pretty fun, but common material from normal monsters rarely drop, like how many times i supposed to run in this low level dungeon just to get some common material. Why boss material is easier to collect than common material
3. Solo and group system. I should be able to use main character as part of the group. It is kinda annoying to lock some material behind these encore missions which i need to use other hunter that i've not yet grind.
For now these are some aspects that pretty dissapoint me, i hope they change some of it and maybe added more content. For this price i think game is good enough.

I will breakdown some of pros and cons of this game:
It is pretty good gacha game, but lack low to medium spending option to spend, such as bundle, random *3 gacha, ticket selector (you name it)
The characters are pretty lovely, since it is most of the time stick to their lore, which is intrigue me to find out how they did in their real life, which is fun
Uma fanbase is one of most wholesome community i've joined for a while, and for me that is really special
One of the downside of this game is too grindy. You need a lot of hardwork and money to reach top if you really competitive. If you're casual/semi compe, this game also good but for now you will need to try a bit harder to get stats and specific skills for the umamusume that you want

I've played cybersleuth. For me, this game is the best successor period. The only downside of this game are:
- Lacking endgame bosses. Honestly they did boss battle so well in this game, and i really hope i can find more bosses to fight in end game. With how long player increase agent skill and their digimon stats, some challenge are needed
- Fast travel. Birdramon location in this game are kinda weird. Should have let player fast travel if they have bird digimon in their party
- Data converter. Honestly this one isn't really change for cybersleuth. What i want from this game to change is that they let you to convert more data per digimon (for example, you can convert up to 10 200% digimon)
- Equipment. With how they rework digifarm and stats, equipment should have been more than stats only. Lacking unique effects is pretty dull. Some are useful, but most of them is for early to mid game only
- Grinding. Exp grinding is okay, but there's no option for money grinding except using paid dlc one. And i will not touch that one. (This one is really horrible)

For now i'm pretty satisfied, since most of the downside i mention above are QoL only. I give this game 8/10

I love how immersive this game is, even i'm not really accustomed to horror, survival horror on top of that
Until you get used to how the gameplay work, this game is brutal, but in good way
