Just play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game if you like a cute and emotional story with some depth to it in both story and gameplay. Almost everything this game sets out to do, it executes excellently. The one, singular thing I can say about the game that I don't think as fondly as the rest of the game is a one of the overworlds is cumbersome to explore and navigate, to the detriment of enjoyment. Even then, that isn't a mark against that overworld in specific - it's a lot better once you get used to that zone. But boy is it huge with its paths a tangled mess of route.

I dropped all of my other recreational activities, every single one, to *ONLY* play this game for nearly 60 hours until it was done once I started playing it. It drops a heavy mystery at the very start of the game, lets it simmer and then just continues doing just about everything right. This game is so good ;n;

One week after creating this review and I still think the same - best game I have ever played out of all the games I have played. Though I am a little biased, it's truly got all the elements I could ask for in a video game.

I disagree, the setting, story and gameplay are all very different.

The setting is sci-fi, with the story taking place with people playing a MMORPG.

Dungeons stress puzzle solving using parkour mechanics (Your character jumps when running to an edge) with puzzle mechanics ((Box sliding to room-wide multi-part puzzles)). Very little of any dungeon is dedicated to combat besides the boss and unique dungeon enemies/encounters.

Combat mechanics are decided largely by proper use of a guard/shield and dodge mechanic, with difficult enemies requiring a mini puzzle to be solved ((Hit the enemy with shock energy at this angle to build a meter to make it vulnerable, throw a projectile at the correct time to make it vulnerable, dodge these specific attacks before attacking))

Leveling up is comparable to Final Fantasy 10's sphere grid more than secret of mana.

If anything I'd compare this game to Bastion, Final Fantasy 10 and .Hack//Sign.

Game looks like a Secret of Mana clone.
