Verdict (★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆)
Coming from someone who has not played the other Tales games, this game has been a disappointing mess. Although I may have enjoyed the narrative and soundtracks, the lingering issues prove to be rather laborious for me to push through the game for the chapters.
Though I may not be able to see much of the action, I was definitely able to take a good look at the sky? 😕🤔
