I can't help but give this game the highest marks I can in terms of value for your dollar and general gameplay quality. It's one of the most finely tuned turn-based experiences on the market currently. However, the game has one major flaw, and that would be it's pacing. You will be blown away by how much waiting and reading you'll be doing, and with a competent but not altogether natural sounding english-translated script. The voice acting itself is far above average and does elevate the script a good notch or two, but in my several runs of the original and Royal, I had a much better experience switching to the Japanese dub and moving on to the next bit of dialog whenever I had finished reading ahead. In New Game+, you will more than likely find yourself constantly mashing the Fast-Forward button, which doesn't feel great after awhile. That all being said, still buy this game, even if turn-based RPGs aren't typically your thing. It may just convert you.

Absolutely fantastic. Best movie I've seen in theatres this year by quite a large margin. There's a couple of cinematic tropes that could've been handled with a bit more subtlety, along with certain story beats conforming a little too tightly to the Scorcese influence that the film wears on it's sleeve, but the cinematography, pacing, color palette, costume design, and especially Joaquin Phoenix's performance are all top notch. An easy recommendation for (open-minded) comic book fans and cinephiles alike. Don't buy into the silly controversies surrounding it on either side of the political spectrum. Don't be worried about something bad happening during your viewing. Just go see it.
