Interesting world of bad stereotypes

At the start of the game the world building feels really solid, characters are interesting and combat feels good at start. Game really sucks you in with positive aspects, but lot of bad starts popping during your journey,

Soundtrack and sound design are great fitting with the theme.

Combat feels really good and interesting at the start, but then falls flat.
Some attack animations are just lightning fast making the dodging quite hard and you start noticing how the only reason you would die in this game is to get stun locked for like 5 seconds after getting hit by a single attack which then results getting your health bar blasted into 0 multiple enemies during the stun and it does not help that some of the attacks stick at the player character like crazy. ( for example breath attack from certain enemy can do literal 360 if you try to dodge around the enemy during its duration ). So combat feels satisfying at the start, but falls quite flat when you start noticing the obvious cracks.

Enemy designs like with code vein have just been ripped off from god eater and slapped with new coat of paint, at least this time they give some unique animations to them. With boss designs you will be fighting similar bosses multiple times which makes encountering them pretty boring.

Same happens with map design, you will be made to play same areas multiple times, but now instead going from A to B, you go from B to A, which makes the maps feel so boring especially when doing both campaigns, instead of making 2 "different" campaign they should have just done one slightly larger one.
Lot of elements get reused in both campaigns which making playing through the game second time quite boring, only thing you find out is slightly more about the plot, but this itself doesn't justify the extra repeating playtime. Also lot of bigger moments in campaign is cluttered with anime stereotypes which normally even i can handle, but it just felt like lazy / forced writing after such a good build up at start.

Yuito as blank character is good start, but he is the typical protagonist that is annoying in the long run.
Kasane it other hand at feels like a great character at start, but falls over due forced drama in the story on parts that its not needed.

Would i recommend this game? Yes.
Full price? No, wait for a sale
Final Score 6/10 ( above average )
If combat wouldn't have such big flaws and characters actually stay on the same level as the story, i would easily give the game 8 or 9 , but these flaws stick out so hard that is hard to give it a great rating, above average for sure, but would recommend God eater and Code vein instead.
