just git gud!

The reviews & rating showed it already, yes its awesome game much better than previous successors COS 1 & 2 worth to put some pocket money on it.

pros :
-Pc port quality is great
-Friendly Pc performance (ALL HAIL Potato PC OWNER!!!)
-New "Break & Order" Battle combat feature to make gameplay more interesting
-Overall is great game in terms of story and gameplay than their previous cold of steel
-Lot of guest characters includes from another arcs (liberl & crossbell)
-Additional of sub/2nd master quartz that make your character arts more versatile
-More Waifu's

cons :
-Beware in some areas that includes lot of heavy buildings can cause massive drop fps
-Some ORDERS is too overpowered that crack the balance of the game
-Due to ^ the dificulty include boss battle is easier than should be
-The only bug i encountered maybe when i walking in the edge of path/road then i got stuck (rarely to happened). fixed by load your current/previous save game
-Really? you put level 3 quartz on fish?

Advice
In terms of understanding plot and story-wise, i would HIGHLY RECCOMENDED to at least playing the 1st and 2nd COS before you jump into this one or you will lost understanding the entire story.

WHY?

Unlikely the 1st and 2nd which more into introduction of Erebonian Arc and class VII, the 3rd COS is continuation from their previous cold of steel and will bring you into more depths of Trails Series including some backstory from Liberl and Crossbell arc.

If you were happen to be fresh player that know nothing about legend of heroes and want to know the whole story of it i would reccomend to start from Sky trilogy (Liberl arc).
Since there were no proper translation for Ao and Azure series (Crosbell arc) you can just jump into Cold of steel trilogy (Erebonian arc).

Conclusion
Overall great game, all those reviews and rating didnt lie and worth every pennies you have
it just need some adjustment especially on those overpowered orders.
Other than that? nah its fine i dont really mind

ill give it solid 8.6/10

Before i started this i just want to say "sorry for my bad english"

First thing i would sayin here there's almost no difference with the prev game (pcm2017), the reason why i bought this game because :
1. updated Community DB
2. AI behaviour actually improved here like you will find continental team or small team will breakaway more often and bring more riders on breakaway.

but i also find other bad/bug things which is :
1. the rider weird animation when getting up after crash
2. Finish result, occured on me once in very close sprint when groenewegen just touch the finish line meanwhile kittel already had pass the finish line before groenewegen (finish line already on half of kittle bike) from that perspective it should be kittel win but is not, groenewegen win that sprint before kittel.
3. blocking bringing more pain than prev game.

for now i little bit enjoyed by this game that why i give thumbs up, but if you doesnt care about 2 first points i mention before buying this game will just wasting money consider the price is pretty expensive for the same game as PCM2017.

i highly appreciate "MASSIVE" improvement from prev version (CSGO) especially on VAC which stands as Visual Anti Cheat now.

playing 3 games today, 3/3 encounter against cheaters on low ranks, WELL DONE VALVE if isnt about weekly case drop i aint play this stoopid game
