I absolutely adore this game. It's full of jank and glitches, but man is it amazing regardless. There is also a huge amount of mods to help with the jank/glitches and add new features. If you're like me and enjoy taking games slowly and avoid playing optimally then you'll get a huge amount of mileage from this game. It doesn't hold your hand so there are a lot of hours you can spend just learning the basic mechanics. It's a great time.
The art in this game is amazing and I absolutely love the voice work. The story was also more complete and generally better than I expected, I got pretty attached to Shou and very attached to X. While the game starts at a 10/10 and feels amazing at the beginning, it gets much harder and frustrating at the end. Enemies start getting hyper armor and you'll have to watch yourself being bounced around for a couple seconds with no way to stop it if you don't have burst (and sometimes burst doesn't even work). However, game the game is still really solid throughout. I wish there was a move list in the game, but you can find them online (and I highly recommend you do). Practice your combos and parries in the training mode and you'll be golden.
