    I spent around 70 hours on the game... within the first 2 weeks. Three houses is seriously addicting, fun, and best of all - replayable. You can make your characters into any class that you like, the story is amazing, and the soundtracks are just phenomenal. If there is only one game you can pick to play this year, make it this one - you won't regret it.

    This is my first Fire Emblem game and now I want to play the older ones. I have over 100 hours in this game already; sixty of which were in the first week it released. Such a heavy and deep story that I actually enjoyed listening to. Easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time.

    Has the fun of the fire emblem battle system, but adds much more gameplay by allowing Byleth to wander the campus and complete quests. Most the characters are designed well and interesting. Loved the story and music.

    Don’t listen to the copy and pasted reviews. I am not saying that some are not genuine, but please don’t base a game off a review or score system. Play it. Decide if YOU like it. That is what is most important.

I love the combat, the social aspects, the story, how your decisions actually make a difference, and the replay value is amazing with 4 different endings with ng+makes it all better. But the best part of the game is the Amiibo feature, the location where you use your Amiibos is called The Amiibo Gazebo. Which is absolutely fantastic.

    People have complained about lack of diversity among the male/male romance options, but personally I feel that their proposed solution of an avatar who could romance everyone regardless of gender would cheapen the experience. The only problems I have with this game is that they removed the optimise equipment option and I miss the character customisation, although having the pre rendered cutscenes is a nice touch. Overall it looks like a bright future for Fire Emblem if they pursue this direction.    … Expand

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is incredibly addictive. It’s easy to load up on your lunch break and plan out your lessons for the week, share a few meals, or run through a battle map or two. The four routes allow for a ton of replayability and I’ve sunk well over 170 hours into this game already. My only issue with it is that the included hard mode (the highest difficulty level included at launch, although two more have been announced as coming in a future free patch) is still very easy, especially in NG+. On the one hand this allows for more experimentation with class builds and team compositions (as things currently stand, there are no truly hopeless units and any character can be a part of a successful team) as well as trying out battlefield tactics that you may not otherwise have tried, but one of the biggest draws of Fire Emblem for me has always been the difficulty. Hopefully the upcoming patch will offset this complaint as it has promised it will.

    The game is amazing. The visuals aren’t always the best in the Monastery and the series beloved support scenes, but zooming into the battlefield and seeing all of the little details you might never have otherwise is an amazing experience, and being able to control characters at that level makes the game feel like a completely different genre at times! There are similar small touches throughout the game that weren’t needed but just make it clear how much the game is meant for fun. For example, the ability to control the little character on the loading screen—it’s absolutely adorable! That being said, the amount of loading screens can be a bit excessive. Normally this game would earn an 8/10 for me, maybe a 9/10 if the higher difficulty levels had been released, buuuuuut this game is currently in the process of being review bombed and I am marking it as 10/10 to offset that. I highly recommend this game if you have a Switch and, if you don’t have a Switch but have been considering getting one, this game could very well be the system seller for you.    … Expand

Its good characters and fun gameplay as well as how long it takes to complete just one of its routes, will give you plenty of hours of gameplay, not to mention its replay ability.

The characters that appear in game have actual depth and personality to them and are far more than just cutouts of common tropes. There is also a lot of really good improvements on the gameplay side of things too, the quality of life changes are just astounding and they toned down many of the broken mechanics from the 3DS games so that players can actually have a fair and balanced experience. Speaking of fair and balanced, the actual maps themselves tend to be rather neutral, no ridiculous puzzle mechanics that are more annoying than interesting like certain maps in Fates notoriously had.

The characters are well-written with a great deal of depth, aside from a certain few (Raphael, I'm looking at you). The game is very customisable-every character can be any class and you can recruit students from other houses to yours. Each playthrough is unique and minimum 50 hours; I'm playing through my third route and have over 170 hours already. Furthermore, each route is different and unique, and there is even a secret 4th route! This makes replayability value off the charts and, personally, I don't even plan on stopping after playing all four routes! I do have some complaints though. The backdrops used in certain support conversations isn't exactly HD, but that doesn't really phase me. Also, my biggest concern is that there isn't a great deal of maps, so some paralogues and auxiliary battles reuse maps. However, the maps are some of the biggest in the series so scenarios are still quite unique. In conclusion, this game is an absolute masterpiece, and has dethroned Super Castlevania 4 to become my favourite of all time!… Expand

This game manages to stay    It has come to my attention that a vast amount of fake reviews have been left for Fire Emblem Three Houses over the past few days. I am writing this on 02 SEP 2019 to set the record straight.

    I have been playing video games since the NES was a big deal, and I can say with a clean conscience that Fire Emblem Three Houses is one of my favorite games of all time. This game manages to stay true to the spirit of the Fire Emblem series, but has had the game mechanics completely overhauled in a positive way. In addition, the game is written masterfully to make you feel genuine emotion towards the characters that you interact with. This game is the future of the tactical RPG genre.

    I believe that this game is worth exploring, so I want to avoid spoilers as much as I can. I will say that one of the most attractive features of the game is the ability to truly choose your own adventure. The game changes drastically based on the choices you make, gives you a wide variety of directions in which you can take the story, and gives you the opportunity to make said choices often. The fate of your in-game character is intertwined with all of the others in the game, so your choices can literally determine their destiny in many cases. Who will live or die? Who will be your friend, and who will be your enemy? What situations are unforeseeable? Much of this is up to you.

    The mechanics are upgraded from previous games. They are complicated enough to entertain those with a great attention to detail, but simple enough that anyone can have a great experience without getting bogged down by overly complicated gameplay. For example, what "class" a unit has is no longer defined by their level. The level system has been redesigned to be more of an indication of what a particular unit is capable of.

    The artwork is exactly what you would expect of Nintendo's newest home console. The cutscenes were striking and dramatic, and the in-game character models were sharp. They went all out on the latest installment of the series, and we're thrilled that they did. I would say that this is the best game in the series to be released since Fire Emblem: Awakening on the 3DS.

    In the game review from Polygon, it was said that "It's (Fire Emblem) as if someone who pens romance novels and someone who writes stereo instructions decided to co-author a 9000-page war epic." The fact is, they're right! We wouldn't want it any other way! It is a game that is both technical and emotional, and is of interest to a very wide variety of people. It has everything you could want! Fantasy, combat, tactics, romance, exploration, consequences to your decisions, and more!

    This game is fantastic, and the haters can get lost. That is all.    … Expand

    No había probado nunca un título de esta saga y me ha sorprendido gratamente. De los mejores juegos de la consola y una fuente inacabable de horas de juego acompañadas de unas grandes historias. Recomendadisimo.

    Never thought that a fire emblem game would be this awesome. I was never really into fire emblem before. But it got my attention after the gameplay at the Nintendo treehouse event.

I only knew FE characters from Super Smash bro's. So after the treehouse event I downloaded Fire Emblem heroes on my phone. After playing that for a couple of days I gave Three Houses a shot. My first time playing it was amazing. The graphics (for a switch game) story and especially the characters are top notch. I really got attached to the characters and I was sad and upset if something wrong would happen to them. I'm currently 230 hours in and I'm still playing the last route. I just couldn't put it down. I want to know more about the different stories.

    Verdict: it is amazing. Screw those salty people who have it a negative review because it is a Switch exclusive. Definitely try it out!    … Expand

    This game is easily game of the year for me. I've had it for two weeks and I've already played through all three houses. The characters are so well written that I cant find a single one (other than the villians) that I dislike. Each route is special and fun in it's own way. And I'm already planning on playing again!

I've played through Blue Lion and most of Golden Deer. It's definitely a bit repetitive on the second playthrough but the New Game Plus helps out a lot.

    Great Fire Emblem game, of course it's not a perfect game, but it's one of the best FE so far, great story, great voice acting, wonderful soundtrack, this game did what Fates could not achieve, a sense of care for your characters, and the consequences of war.

Highly recommend this game to any first timers in the series and can't wait to replay this game many times as there are so many ways to beat the game

    Only criticize something once you've tried it, dolts. Every aspect of this game (bar the graphics) is genuinely excellent, you're just jealous. Suck a bug if you review bomb this game without having played it. Miffed because it's a Switch exclusive? You're just making your insecurities obvious.

    I’ve been a fan of the Fire Emblem games since the launch of Awakening, and although I was wary about this title when it was first revealed it far surpassed my wildest expectations. The freedom you get in this game is so liberating and I love seeing how much I can stretch the limits of each character.

    NG+ is particularly enjoyable since it lets you push your boundaries even further,    I’ve been a fan of the Fire Emblem games since the launch of Awakening, and although I was wary about this title when it was first revealed it far surpassed my wildest expectations.

    NG+ is particularly enjoyable since it lets you push your boundaries even further, allowing you to make your best magic users physical fighters and visa versa, allowing for amusing combinations of character specific and learned abilities and skills. I can’t stop playing this game and I already have over 200 hours in it.

    My only negative is that multiple routes share a large portion of maps, but seeing as most games only have 1 main route, it’s not too big of a deal. Each houses students drive a lot of the variety in gameplay if you don’t recruit too much as I did on purpose.

    Fire Emblem Three Houses is one of Switch's best games of 2019 and a breeze of fresh air to this franchise. Unfortunately, its poor animations preclude any possibility of being the game of the year.
