I'm not really good at writing reviews or writing in general, but let me make this clear. This is undoubtedly the BEST TF game I ever played and one of the best games I ever played in general. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the characters, the lore and the whole world building of this game. Apparently the other games are also in the same universe but I still haven't played those yet so everything was new to me. The whole idea of the White Expanse, the Oases and the Wills is super unique and creative, at least I personally never saw anything like that before in the media that I consume.
I REALLY ENJOYED THE COMBAT SYSTEM, wich is rare, because I'm normally not very into turn based combat, but the way this game doesn't even have a traditional exp and level up system was mind-blowing for me. I didn't even know you could make an rpg like that. The amount of freedom the game gives to the player to make their own team is crazy. Depending on the classes and equipment you use for your characters you need to think about completely different strategies to win, wich I think is pretty cool. I'm also VERY glad that there aren't any random encounters and that the game allows you to run away from essentially every non boss battle out there.
I'm not exactly a big puzzle person myself, but I liked the puzzles of the game. To me it hits the nail spot of them being challenging enough to actually make the player think, but without burning too many braincells in the process. I specially enjoyed the trial part in chapter 5, but I confess I had to use the story mode to check what i had to do sometimes.
Overall, It was an amazing experience and I loved every moment of it. I got immersed and invested into this game so much to the point It was pretty much the only thing I did the entire week. I currently have 72 hours in my last save, and sure I ended up leaving the game open sometimes while I slept, but still, the amount of content this game have surprised me alot. Can't wait for the next updates.
