RD is still better than Awakening and beyond. I felt Birthright was slightly more enjoyable than Awakening, but they are still both pretty bad.

Hot take: RD is the most overrated game in the Fire Emblem franchise.
That might be true. Chapter 2 is a really unfun experience to play, and Chapter 1 on Hard basically renders some units unusable. Part 3 and 4 I enjoyed greatly, though, and those two alone put it above any of the more recent games imo. It is definitely not on the same sort of level as Genealogy or Path of Radiance, and I'd probably put it below Sacred Stones too.
Bullocks. Chapter 2 endgame was epic in terms of scale and gameplay. People disliked chapter 1 but I found the difficulty enjoyable due to the atmosphere and making the Dawn Brigades experience a real struggle which it was.
Elincia's Gambit is either a boring defense map OR gets ended in 1 turn by Haar. It's by far the most overrated map in the series. ---
