  HARD agree on Engage and Resonance of Fate. Engage is my most-replayed game of the whole FE series, and Resonance of Fate is amazingly satisfying once the battle system "clicks" in your head

  I'd argue Zestiria is the hated Tales game not Arise. Arise argubably made the series more popular

  I loved tales of Arise, the character arcs were all pretty good, yes the final dungeon was too long, but it was still one of my favorite jrpgs. I still watch the opening on youtube every now and then, both of them!

  Lost Sphear even more so.  The Chrono Trigger comparison fueled the hate train, but it had amazing music, combat, depth, plot twists through, especially post-game which revealed a great deal about the characters that people vastly misunderstood. Kind of like Tales of Symphonia, Dawn of the New World, where people clearly didn't play more than a few hours before making false assumptions about the characters.  Wait, people even hate on Tales of Arise? So glad, I've stepped away from social media for the most part.

  That line about people making up their mind before a game launches in regards to P5T has been so common over the last two decades. I know it's up to Atlus and other companies to stand their ground when making new games, really it's the preconcieved notions that keep Atlus fans from being more open minded despite them constantly pleading for Atlus to make unique games. Soul Hackers 2 is a perfect example because despite however it is as a whole game, it's still overhated with people discarding all the positives to lambast the negatives.

  I've been meaning to try Resonance of Fate. I love Tri-Ace games. I should give it a go at some point.

  having almost 700 hours under the belt on Three Houses (maddening), Engage was quite enjoyable and im looking forward to Fortune's Weave.

  I LOVED fire emblem engaged. I got into fire emblem 3 houses and was my introduction to the series. Without knowing that there were 12 previous games. 3 houses was so political while engage has so much heart. Those scenes with veela and her sisiter always tears me up

  Code Vein 2 is criminally underrated! It honestly sucks how bad launch-day performance tanked its reputation so fast, with everyone jumping on the hate train before even giving the game a chance. Critics clowned on the story for not hitting as hard as CV1, but I ain&apos;t buying it. Bandai clearly rushed this out for an early-year release. If they’d cooked it for just one more month, all those performance bugs that got patched later would&apos;ve been non-existent, and I’d have zero complaints.<br><br>The OST absolutely slaps! Malpracticer, Ashes to Light, Hero Josse, and Valentine are great tracks. The boss designs look really cool! Plus, the Companion signature weapons are just wild. Take Holly, for example. She rocks two giant, floating Gatling guns, which is just pure badassery. And don&apos;t even get me started on Zenon. The dude is so bizarre, and I am totally here for it!<br><br>To be honest, I don&apos;t even mind the open world. Sure, it obviously copies Elden Ring&apos;s homework, but it still has its own unique charm. The weapon balancing, the new Jails, and the loop of exploring are so addictive that the solid gameplay totally carries the main story in my book!
