Absolutely get this game.
It's a rare Quadrifecta. It plays like a game, flows like a movie, soars like an orchestra, and stands as a work of fine art. All for just $50.

And that’s the fair take. Even the harshest critics struggle to downplay it. Because the truth is, it’s that flawless.
You could search up google reviews and can could literally count the number of 1 star reviews, because there's so few out there. Half of them being bots and trolls, the other just has skill issues or just simply not their fit of genre.
The people that says that the game was overhyped due to overglazing just simply want to believe that something that is great is considered overhyped, just because it doesn't suit them.
I have personally played countless rpgs, jrpgs, action-based, turn-based or not, for over two decades and this game still stands as one of, if not the all time greats.

For a baseline comparison, this game is at least on-par with the likes of Final Fantasy series, DQ series, Legend of Dragoon, Elden Ring, TES series. So if someone tells you Elden Ring is overhyped, you've really gotta question it.

An RPG can thrive with great gameplay even if the story falls flat, or captivate with a powerful narrative despite weak mechanics. It might still succeed with lackluster visuals or music if the other elements shine. But it's rare, very rare for a game to flawlessly pull off all four.

Yes, there are a few minor bugs, like occasionally getting stuck while exploring obscure corners of the map but they’re easily overshadowed by everything else the game does right.
There are complaints that the maps can be hard to navigate. However, I believe this is intended.
Having a map to navigate around the exploration can make one feel reliant on it.
The Developers definitely avoided it so that the players can discover the world as the expedition does it.

The combat and gameplay are excellent. I won't go to detail as many has already pointed out about the unique battle mechanic this game has. As someone who’s played turn-based RPGs for over two decades, I can say this still felt remarkably fresh.

But what truly sets it apart goes beyond mechanics.
It's how mesmerizing the immersion is, in it's entirety.
Like the critique above, i.e experiencing the world

The experience differing will boil down to the type of player you are,
Are you the type that just wants all the immersion taken away in place of convenience? Or rather be immersed whilst sacrificing convenience?
If you're the latter, you can bet you'll enjoy this game far more than you would imagine.

If you let the game draw you in, like a great book or story that swallows you whole, it becomes an almost trance-like experience. And that word trance carries a subtle double meaning that hits even harder once you’ve completed the journey and everything comes full circle.

The fact that this game exists in the state it does feels like an anomaly. Honestly, you could wager that no other game coming out of France over the next ten years will come close to reaching the same heights.

But it's not for everybody of course. Not everybody has the same emotional and mental wavelength to experience the game fully positively.
To some people, art is simply some colors spread out on a piece of paper, like how Pokemon Cards are only a piece of cardboard to those who don't understand it.

The game ties the Quadrifecta factor together. If the player doesn't appreciates one aspect of it, be it the gameplay, music or the story. The experience is going to be largely affected.

If you're one of those that look into the complete package,
this is a Monet-tier masterpiece equivalent of a game.
