And my Axe! …oh are we not doing that anymore?

Yes, this was exactly how I felt when playing Fire Emblem Engage. God. I hated how the hub world basically sucked an equal amount of time for each map I cleared. Sure, the mini-games are optional,But so is brushing your teeth.

I may be getting older but it feels like a lot of games are just padding their runtime with gameplay that doesn’t mesh well at all.

Sounds like Singapore.

It’s okay friend. You’re here, you can start now 👋
