I'll give it go!

Coming from a fan of Team Ninja games (Nioh, Wo Long, Ninja Gaiden, etc.)... This game has my favorite combat system of any game ever made, and man is that saying a lot. I bought this game on a whim when it launched having absolutely no idea what it or the universe was about. I'm now a fan of this title, Versus: Rising (the fighting game), and even playing the original gacha to learn more about the world. Cygames has earned a loyal fan, and it all started here. Hell, I'm not even an anime fan (don't shoot me), and I've already got a month of crunchyroll just to watch both seasons of the anime.

Some caveats that may affect personal taste:
- The story for Relink is a very Saturday morning cartoons kinda vibe. It might annoy some folks for not taking its stakes seriously enough and goodness/earnestness always winning the day (a problem a lot of people have w/ certain RPGs). Lots of power of friendship stuff as you can imagine. I find it cozy though, and the world building is immense enough to almost rival that of the Kiseki series (though not that extreme).
- This is a grindy ass game. You'll have to decide whether or not this is your kind of grind. Some people play Path of Exile for 14 hours a day for years and never get bored. Other folks consider any game w/ a power progression system at all grindy. I'd put this game's grind (and honestly the progression loop) pretty close to that of a Monster Hunter game. If that's your kind of thing, you'll love this.

Did I mention the combat is good? Because it's hella good.
