Wish I could leave a neutral review. I don't hate the game or anything but as a huge fan of Rivals of Aether 1, I feel like so much of what made the gameplay in the first game so satisfying was lost here.

- Drift DI is so weak, I feel like a brick in the air which can get frustrating - it's absurdly hard to escape out of combos once you get hit in the air, but that can also work to your advantage I guess

- Neutral feels eh. Playing at early percents can feel like a bit of a slog and the game feels rather defense heavy which isn't to my enjoyment

- Floor-hugging stinks. Makes early game frustrating cause you can't use half your moves without getting punished even after successfully landing them cause they take no knock-back, it makes move choice rather limiting

- Not a fan of how ledges or ledge invulnerability works in this game and I don't understand why people get invulnerability after re-grabbing ledge

- Movement: Compared to R1, these physics and movement feel less snappy, and more floaty / clunkier. Still beats Smash Ultimate by miles though

I still think the game's quite good overall, and I can have some fun with it, but the direction Rivals moved towards just isn't my cup of tea I suppose.

Chance shrines have ignited my furious gambling addiction

I appreciate the gay romance between characters and the references to anime. I feel so seen

Very satisfying gameplay with fun weapons and nice upgrades that vary on each run. Definitely happy with the experience although some things that would make the game better is if there were more levels. Variety would be nice and I would be willing to pay twice as much if there was more to see. Some upgrades feel pretty random and kinda useless too

It's certainly worth the money though

Interruptive level design doesn't work well with the time travel element but it's an okay game. Nice music

Smash Bros. without the nonsense. Very nice
