    Up to sector E the game was almost perfect. Good characters (design is kinda meh but I'm ok with that), good setting, good bosses, good plot etc. Then SJ started getting worse. Some game design decisions are just bad and you can't really argue that. And I personally didn't like the story towards the ending. SJ(R) is good but not for everyone

    great story. the battle system is uninteresting comparing it to the turn pass system buuuuut is playable. the level design is very nice for a dungeon crawler. tha talk system sometimes seems a bit too easy but u can switch off the mods for talking whenever u want.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux's challenging gameplay might not be for everyone, but those it does appeal to will find a well-crafted dungeon-crawling experience with a thought-provoking narrative.

    Strange Journey was an enjoyable ride. Seeing the different dungeons of the Schwarzwelt and how the motivations of the demons (and how they felt about humans) blended well with each area.That said, those already familiar with the Shin Megami games will likely enjoy this reissue more than series newcomers thanks to its general difficulty and the inconsistency of the negotiation mechanics — it can be a bit polarizing for those who aren’t accustomed to the mechanics.

    I enjoyed my time with Strange Journey Redux, and the many things its dungeons offered will stick with me. Its narrative is also interesting and should be applauded for what it attempts, even if the story’s reach is not quite what it can attain. I was also ready to be done by the time the credits rolled and uninterested in starting the whole thing again to see another ending or reach the heretofore-forbidden areas, which keeps Redux from being among the crowning achievements in my RPG experience. It was a worthwhile title to encounter though, and should at least be tried by anyone curious.
