I wish I loved this game.

I loved Remake and Intermission so much. I love parts of Rebirth. The story (at least so far) is really compelling. I love the writing and the characters and the tone and vibes so much. It's all so ridiculous but so earnest it just works. The combat is fun. The mini games are all great (especially playing the piano).

The open world sucks all the life out of the game. I got to Gongaga and just called it quits. It's so absolutely annoying and adds nothing of value to the rest of the game. It's just a chore. Cody keeps telling me to get back to playing it, but just thinking about spending another second in that god forsaken open world makes me want to pull my hair out. It's a shame the one blemish on the game is so annoying that it might genuinely prevent me from completing a pretty incredible experience otherwise.
