I got a physical edition on PS5 and haven’t regretted it. I wanted to see what Game Freak could do outside of Pokemon and I wasn’t disappointed! Recommended for a fun Nier Automata-esque experience with a new intriguing world.

*spoilers*
They reused some of the bosses in the main story too much, it disincentivises my desire to play through it again because ive already gone through them twice.

At the end, you are given a huge exposition dump and it was a disappointment. They could’ve let players piece the story together on their own by having collectible items or making the books readable for some information. Or even by having the player go through a map to learn the information themselves.
But no just a exposition dump from an audio file that plays while youre walking through the last map.
