    This is boring trash, you spend the whole time clicking A to skip the mindlessly endless dialogue with a insanely repetaive music track droning in the background..The combat there is is so basic and boring a baby could do it. This is more budget than an indie, but is fully priced...I Liked the DS Game it had origional controls and suited the DS, but Neo is garbage, gamers these days mustThis is boring trash, you spend the whole time clicking A to skip the mindlessly endless dialogue with a insanely repetaive music track droning in the background..The combat there is is so basic and boring a baby could do it.

    I loved this game to begin with, but it is the most repetitive and drawn out game I have ever played. It is rinse repeat the exact same boring thing each day in the game, and it is done to exhaustion towards the end of the game

    The combat is boring and the tasks are repetitive, the area to explore is small

    oh god this game is so cringey, looks like it was made for 10yo kids .. and I play Fortnite, Minecraft and other "kids" games but this is on another level

    Now I played the switch version of the first game and loved it, but this one seems to have lost its magic. The gameplay sucks, the artstyle doesnt translate well to 3D, and the story just kinda stinks. Shiba is the only character I really liked and thats because hes funny. Music is still pretty good though.

    Tetsuya Nomura’s latest game resembles Persona to some degree, but offers real-time combat. Similarly to Kingdom Hearts, it goes for flashiness rather than a deep tactical system, but after you unlock enough psychic powers, the game becomes more varied. Overall, NEO is solid, but it needs quite a lot of time to gain momentum. [10/2021, p.64]

    Neo: The World Ends with You is a traditionally non-traditional JRPG. At first glance, you could mistake it for a brainless button smasher but as you’ll soon find out, there’s a great deal of thinking to be done. A very strange game full of very strange charm.

    Without being perfect, Neo The World Ends With You is a beautiful Action RPG, original, entertaining and with one of the best soundtracks I have heard in recent years.
