Pros:
- Love the 2d art style (the 3d style is "fine")
- Music is very well done too
- Combat is easily understood, and the time slip mechanic, while not unique to this game, is done quite well.
- Combat balance is set to where they don't need "big numbers go vroom" or even "item spam"
- Story and atmosphere is very "chill" if you're looking for that, without feeling generic.
- Enemy design is a really nice "cthulu-cute" style
- Runs well on even mid-spec PCs

Cons:
- The Farming stuff feels a bit tacked on compared to the rest of the mechanics
- Does the "voice burp" thing (injects a small voice blurb at the beginning of characters speaking, personal pet peeve, but I know I'm not common on that)
- It is designed "Controller First" (not a problem for me, but I know it bothers some people)


Neutral:
- you can sequence break some stuff pretty easily, which can result in getting fights out of order and having a hard time, this will be important for speedrunning, but can confuse people inexperienced at jrpg style games.

Overall I enjoyed it - will it be on any of my "must play" lists? Not really - but definitely worth playing through if you enjoy the comic or like chill RPGs - and something I'll definitely be adding to the playlist for my niece and nephew to try after I've finished it.
