A devastated Tokyo, demons to recruit, and an atmosphere that grabs you before it asks your opinion.

No gut ranking to read, so we dive into the criteria. And here comes a fairly coherent surprise. The soundtrack rises ahead of 85% of games, and so does rediscovery, that wish to live it all fresh again. Desert island and attachment follow, ahead of three quarters of the field. Only fun slips below the middle, like a quiet admission of the game's difficulty and austerity. Careful, two votes at best per criterion, the rest on a single one, so all of this is still to confirm, these are early signals.

In the family of demanding Japanese RPGs, this profile rings true. You don't boot it up to unwind, you bond with it for its atmosphere, its music, and the memory you'd dream of reliving new.

So who's it for? For you if you love dark RPGs, an OST that follows you for years, and an experience that leaves a mark. A lot less if you're after light fun, the game you fire up to decompress between two things.
