Triangle Strategy

I thought it was really good. I liked that all the choices felt very significant, but I wasn't too keen on the idea of there being a true path or golden route. It kind of dismisses the difficulty of the choices being made if there is a "right answer", when the game flourishes in presenting choices that have no real correct approach. The choices are interesting in the game, and I thought that the pragmatism, liberty and morality inclinations were all well done. The way that the representative characters bounced between showcasing those different ideologies was really interesting and I was shocked with the progression of a specific character when it came to how they presented the final decision (you know who I'm talking about). All in all I felt that the decision making was well done but I couldn't tell you how replaying the game and following a guide or intentionally making decisions that you wouldn't normally plays out.
The gameplay in battles is good, I liked how tight and balanced it was. Say what you want about making busted units in FFT or FE but I like a bit of tension in these types of games and having to rely on my whole squad in fights was a nice change of pace. The EXP scaling meant that you didn't need to grind (I ignored the optional fights for the most part and used underlevelled characters just fine). The characters' unique skills were a lot of fun, adjusting the environment, getting in extra turns and giving major supports to others.
Anyway, probably my GOTY, so far, check it out. It plays the main theme for the final fight so it's at LEAST getting a 4

i think its even funnier that the title is in all caps

It has been a long time where I have been so invested in a story. It means that it is almost more story than gameplay but man is this so incredibly well-done

I thought the story was decent, but the best part for me was that the Hard mode was absolutely brilliant. Fiercely challenging maps, yet just open enough to still allow so many different possible strategies with so many diverse skills. Probably the single best tactics game design of all time.

I'm not done with this but holy smokes it's so so good
