I've been curious about trying XV for a while, but your comments could've been written by me, and now I know I need to try XV. Thank you!

(Special shout-out to that dude who defended XIII by saying the sequel makes it worth it. I'm still mad over that argument. If I hated the first game, why should I pay money for a chance to like it's sequel?)

To be clear, I'm enjoying XVI, and XV was the one game I disliked so much I dropped it. But try either one! Different people may like different games, and that's fine.

As far as XVI goes, my main gripes are that combat is pretty slow until you've unlocked three sets of abilities, and it relies just a little bit too heavily on its Game of Thrones inspiration. But once combat gets going, it feels really good. You can dodge or parry almost every attack in the game, and it feels pretty badass to get right in the enemy's face and have them not be able to touch you because you've learned the moveset.
