It’s a bit divisive amongst enjoyers of the first game, but I played a lot of it and even finished the main story. It’s 100% run based with metaprogression even moreso than the first one - you end up caring a lot about the party you have on your run, but not really that much about individuals across runs. The art style was perfectly translated to 3D, it looks great. There are some wonky UI elements and I think the in-between tedium between locations of interest is a bit too long, but I would recommend.
