I'm so happy to see this channel growing :) Been around since the Divinity vids I think, what a pleasure it's been to watch this almost from the beginning.
Great job on the review, I'd say you hit the nail on the head. I'm on my third run of new game+ now and I'm really enjoying just how many options I have to be able to just swap people in and out and really use the niche characters in their best moments. You review again, objective and impartial as always, really makes note that this game really wants to be played over and over. Great work and I look forwards to seeing whats next on the list.
Hi Mortym! I've had this game wishlisted for a while. Been waiting patiently for you to review it. Thanks for all the awesome content.
Love your channel! You are one of the few youtubers that manages to keep reviews a medium length while sticking to the important information and not filling it with unnecessary bloat or stupid sketches. Keep up the good work!
Solid review. I'm in my first playthrough of the game and while restricting the story has me hooked. Looking forward to unlocking new game+ to see how it opens up. $60 is steep, but the story, art style, and combat really sold me on it.
Props to this game for making NG+ different than simply upping enemy stats!

Fire Emblem is great but Three Houses isn’t typical Fire Emblem. Try the 3DS, Game Cube and Wii games before making up your mind on the series!
That was quick. I started yesterday and just finished chapter 2 lol Glad I'm not the only one who noticed the controls for PC were bad, even changing the mouse sensitivity didn't do much. Switched to my controller before the first battle.
Easy subscribe. I still haven't made up my mind on whether or not I'll buy this, but your review was insightful, helpful, and in-depth.
Amazing review as always ! ❤
Excellent review again. Thank you.
I love 2D-HD artstyle - Overall I already brought the game on Switch and my god it's addicting af, if someone likes good story.
Good review my man. I've also played the game and onto the last battles and I like challenges so have kept my characters low level for that reason but then again it got so hard I kept dying lol. I didn't want to grind nor wanted to lose because I was only a few levels low. Incredibly walled and unforgiving that I actually stopped playing. However now am thinking of finishing it and going the new game plus route as it sounds a lot more fun! Ta

Just coming back after your recommendation. Replayed and on my half way point of ng+ and loving it! I'm trying to pass each stage without turtling too much meanwhile not letting any or many character deaths, on hard. It creates the challenge and lets me strategise and replay each unique stage 😊. Really is a great game and now realising it has branching paths and endings again i will at least do 4 play throughs! Loving it
How different are the different playthroughs? As in how much of each paythrough/path are the same scenes and battles and how much you get actually new/unique scenes and battles?
@Corran123

If I remember correctly, there are 4 different paths with 5 missions each in the middle of the game and 4 endgame paths with 4 missions. Each of those missions is unique, though they may share a map on occasion.

I can't tell you how happy I am that your channel exists.
I really agree with you. Actually i ve done +170h in this game unlocked 28 characters 2 normal ends from Benedict and Frederica and got the true end in my 3rd game now I started NG+3 in hard to complexify the game because all of my chars are in Level 50. I need to find Cordelia and Travis. Get to find last diaries from Norzelia. And unlock Roland ending but I m really not enjoying to get this end because i hate Hyzante's church. About the combat in hard just one mistake and you re finished. I love this game so thinking in that i ll reach 200h on this amazing game!
Thank you for an honest review Definitely appreciate the point that this game benefits from multiple playthroughs Fortunately this game is on sale on Steam for 50% off so I don’t feel under pressure to decide if refunding within a couple hours or keeping it I enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics Advance so I think this captures the magic of Square
100k subs is getting closer!

I finished Triangle Strategy on Switch and loved it. Gonna play it again through on Steam
Is it better to rush through the first playthrough and get into NG+ then (like Tales of Graces f could be done, though I love playing so I am still on my first playthrough, on Chaos), or just play at the "rate the game makers would like?"

Great review as always. Wow didn't know it is on steam. Played on Switch only once, but I didn't feel too restricted to be honest. My only slight gripe was due to my own expectations. I heard that political intrigue and betrayal etc were a big part, but it didn't feel as huge as a youtuber made it out to be.
I bought this game at launch for the Switch and I have only beaten once, so far, but I didn't feel "walled in" or "restricted." It is my game of the year at this point.
Spreading the gaming Wisdom . thanks
I might get this when it goes on sale for the Deck.
This game was a ton of fun, and I appreciate it didn't take too long to finish a playthrough; lile with Tyranny, it offers interesting replayability instead.
Thanks man. I was going to sell this game but I’m going to keep it now.

Mad respect for a proper review channel that actually completes the games properly. There are many games that only get better in the endgame, and there are many games with lackluster endgame. I understand it's unreasonable to expect all reviewers to 100% their games but I'm more interested in those who do. Subbed and Joined.

Thank you for another organized, to the point review. In this case though I think you might be a bit tough on story dominance, seemed it could be easily fast forwarded. And I think you were too lenient as to the playability on PC with mouse/keyboard. I found it to be a show stopper with rooftop tiles untargetable either for shooting at or for movement.

These games can be played simply or very tactically, like chess if you rush your move you will be destroyed quickly, but if you think & plan your moves then it will offer a good tough challenge, i wish they could include some sort of versus mode v real opponents
Very good game. I am not a strategic RPG fan, I started playing games of this genre just recently (this, Tactic Ogre Reborn and Front Mission 1st) and I was a bit skeptic whether I would have liked it. The story takes a while to become interesting and the first run seems very tightly controller, but after getting accustomed to the game it becomes really enjoyable.
Was your gameplay from one of the later/bigger battles? It seems very overwhelming with how many skills you can choose from and the overall look of the combat system. I know it's turn based so you can take your time but it looks pretty complicated to get into whereas games I've played before such as FFT and the newer FE games(from Awakening-now) those seem much more simplified.

Big Switch games ported to the PC tend to be relatively high priced and to not get deep discounts, presumably to avoid cannibalizing their sales on the Switch.

On the one hand, I'm glad to hear that NG+ is so much better makes me kind of want to actually go back and finish it, but on the other hand, the straw that broke my back was how badly the ending choice is set up and I just don't even want to think about how suddenly stupid all of the characters get right at the very end of the game. That ain't gonna get fixed in NG+ except for going for the "Golden Path" that I only know about because I went back and read some guides after quitting. Still not sure I'm gonna go back and finish it with Tactics Ogre Reborn around the corner.

I never bothered finishing NG+, Ogre did a much better job with a timeline structure and the fact it just had a better story overall helped a lot. If they allowed to to return to the branching paths vs just going full circle, it would've alleviate a lot of the problems with NG+ particularly the golden route issue which, yes, was bad as the other paths gave an intentionally incomplete ending because of that, there was literally a loose end or faction left out of those ending which defeats the purpose of even including them in the story.
Thanks for the review. I was on fence if I should buy this game but now I know I will wait for a sale.
I think Triangle Strategy is a masterpiece, quite frankly. I've played a lot of SRPG's and this one pulled elements of all of them in a really effective way for the ultimate SRPG experience. To me it has a Game of Thrones gripping and surprising storyline without annoying anime elements that plague some other SRPGS. It has a visual style that harkens back to Shining Force 3 and FFT while also looking modern and beautiful. It has a soundtrack that is unbelievably good, one of the best I've heard (and should be mentioned more). And the gameplay is comprised of a solid gameplay loop with good developer choices for an SRPG to have. Personally, I can't wait for a sequel, hope it happens.
