I loved this game. It's very relaxing yet still has difficult puzzles. I like that it's kind of a learn-as-you-go game and doesn't break up the flow with instructions. It does have hints if you need it, and you can reveal only as much of the hint as you want. The end of the game becomes a bit of a fever dream, but I was still here for it lol. I watched all of the credits because you get to mess things up as the cat and also see all the pets of everyone who worked on the game. I finished the game in about 4 hours, but I still think it was definitely worth it.

This is my favorite game and it brings me so much nostalgia. I have strong connections to the characters and it really is a touching game. I highly recommend downloading the Moguri Mod to play this game as it will give you more gameplay settings and greatly improves the graphics (the mod is large though). Without the mod the graphics leave a bit to be desired, but that's to be expected from a game of its age. If you want to complete all the minigames it will get fairly grindy, but it can also be played through like normal without grinding. I highly highly recommend if you like Final Fantasy games.

Great game! It definitely is still very buggy, but the devs have been working on the game a lot recently and the changes being made are great. Although each playthrough is very similar, it's still a lot of fun. If horror games aren't as much your thing or still something you're warming up to you can turn off zombies, making it simply an open world survival game.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
-1 ... My game will occasionally crash when I play (once every few hours on average). This doesn't happen to my friends.
-1 ... Co-op setting could be improved. For example, you have to invite them to your party and share quests every time you play.

I was obsessed with this game during the height of the pandemic when I wasn't working. I'd play it 5+ hours everyday and have been called a DBD encyclopedia by my friends. There are many options to personalize the gameplay style as well as your character style. There have been regular updates as the game's popularity has grown. The DLC can be pricey, but you can by original characters and many skins with shards that are gained from sinking hours into the game. The queue times are occasionally long, but you can avoid those long waits by playing Survivor during the day and Killer at night. I am obsessed with this game and highly recommend.
