This is my second time playing this (first was on Xbox), and I got to the exact same point I did the first time; it's eventually just a grind. I love the concept of the game, but eventually it's just "I need to grind a bunch of loops in order to unlock things for the boss". There's just not enough depth to it.
a bit slow at the beginning but later on it becomes super fun, would recommend, 10/10
In spite of this game having absolutely fantastic art, the gameplay is painfully slow and uninteresting. You need to constantly micromanage your character's equipment so you can't really even look away, but I never felt like I had a whole lot of control over how things turned out anyway. There may be things I didn't reach yet or failed to understand, but having played 14 hours without these feelings being swayed, I don't think it's too unfair to say I tried to give it an honest chance and didn't end up finding it worthwhile.
