Summary

In the Switch demo, he praises anime/cel-shaded visuals and cute designs, but criticizes absent touchscreen support and lengthy opening cutscenes. Character creation reminds him of an ex-girlfriend; he jokes about recreating her, then abandons customization quickly. After finding mounted dinosaurs, he discovers turn-based Pokémon/Final Fantasy-style combat, calls it boring and confusing, and rates the game 2/10.

Insight

His review reinforces a preference for immediate, action-oriented gameplay over slower, systems- heavy RPG formats.
