A very charming heart hack & slash roguelike. Though very short, it kept me well entertained for most of my playtime, and the gameplay has enough variety to it that makes repeated runs feel very different. It does definitely have a learning curve to it, but altogether not a terribly difficult game.

On its own, the game is probably alright. As a sequel in the God Eater series, it's genuinely pretty bad.
There were no new particularly engaging gameplay added over what Resurrection or Rage Burst had to offer.
The Burst Arts are far tamer than the Blood Arts GE2, as most of the arts here are merely same combos with higher damage outputs, or slightly altered visual effects, but there's nothing about them that makes them unique over eachother.
The engage effect may as well not have been present at all, and was pretty visibly added as a gameplay mechanic entirely because of being a deus ex machina for the story.
Acceleration Triggers was similarly only added on account of attempting to tie in story elements to gameplay, in a way that falls entirely flat.
As for the story, it's okay at best; I can see what they were going for and the characters are mostly likeable, but the pacing is really, really bad, and they blatantly fail to connect what you do in missions to have any relevance with the story itself.
The cutscene direction feels very misguided; it focuses on the wrong parts a lot, and overemphasizes on close-ups in moments where the bigger picture would have had more of an impact.

That said, the game did make me feel pride of parenthood, even if the way they write characters makes feel like the writers have no idea how children act or behave. But when you're revving up a chainsaw axe next to a little gremlin that does the exact same, you can't help but feel a little bit of pride swelling (even if the occurrence is just chance).

However overall, I cannot recommend this game over the other games in the God Eater series. Storywise it felt like a blend of the first and the second game, and both of them execute their parts in a much more impactful way than what they ended up doing with this one, and this similarly applies to the gameplay mechanics. It just feels like they have a lot of groundwork that could have resulted in something a lot better.

Addendum: I get that all the duct tape is supposed to be because of poor living conditions, but please! Why all this duct tape?! This is excessive to the extreme!

I love getting my ass kicked

Ever had an insatiable curiosity for something that may not even matter in the long run? The slow, piercing feeling of just wanting to understand how something works? And the more time you spend with it, the more questions rise, the more you need to know. It's grown past being just a simple curiosity, into an unadultered need to understand.
What makes you tick?
What else are you hiding?
What difference does classes make?
What aren't you showing me?
What is Love, The Last Remnant?

I'm the kind of person with an easily split attention. If I can play a game without often switching to something else, it's a good game. If I play through the game entirely within a week, it's amazing. This game however, is incredible. I played the game through, and hardly ever wanted to play anything else. Hell, I still want to play more.

The game has a multitude of charming characters, an amazing soundtrack, cute style and the good property of not taking itself too seriously. Also having been given the opportunity of befriending EVERYONE, I'd be damned if I hadn't taken it.
The game has a massive replay value, for example for the sake of seeing how things turn out if you change the way you go about battles or conversation options, as everything changes slightly depending on what you've done.
That all said, I'm too soft-hearted to do anything but a pure pacifist run. I'll probably even feel bad just watching someone else do anything but that.
I wholeheartedly recommend the game, and its soundtrack. Parts of the story struck me straight in the heart, and the soundtrack is amazing.
In short, get this game. It's worth its cost, and so much more.
