Not all of that is the game\u2019s fault, after all it\u2019s hard to be enthused about completing a game where I already know the ending and all of the major story beats. Still, there\u2019s something\u2026 missing, I think. Maybe it\u2019s that this game feels more like a Gaiden than an actual mainline entry. Maybe it\u2019s the horribly paced opening. Maybe after playing like fifteen of these in just three years I\u2019m totally burnt out. But this is the first one that I just don\u2019t feel compelled to play. I\u2019ll pick it up every few days, play for a couple of hours, have my fun, then put it back down."}
