I bought this at release.

Good game, but can't really overstate just how much it's more of the same from VC1. I realize that seems like a blessing to longtime suffering VC1 fans (like myself) having had to sit through 3 fake games, but really it's a bit extreme in it's sameness. Felt like it could have come out as a Red version to VC1's Blue version.

As someone who speedruns basically the entire series, I would say it is more Oracle of Ages to Oracle of Seasons (specifically VC1/VC4, but the same could be said of VC2/VC3)

Like there was a conscience decision to make maps longer/have more variety objectives than base capturing compared to VC1-3. And I'm happy it kept Squad Stories from VC2-3, nice to have more character development.

Also Sega, if you want us to not rush the maps as much, then stop giving us better movement options.

And Prologue is dumb AF.
