There’s something inherently cool about NEO: The World Ends With You. The punk rock attitude; the killer soundtrack; the outfits and pins; and the comic book cutscenes. It’s packed with visuals that constantly impress, and characters that are likeable and relatable. In my time with Rindo, Fret, and everyone else in the Reaper’s Game, there was never a time when I didn’t enjoy playing it. NEO: TWEWY feels like Persona 5’s hip little sibling, and I couldn’t get enough.
NEO: The World Ends With You is brimming with excitement. The plethora of pins make combat constantly enjoyable, and it always feels like it’s evolving. Shibuya is gorgeous, and the art style is sublime. I can’t hype the soundtrack up enough, either. It caters to every kind of music fan, and even if you’re not a fan of hip hop or heavy rock, every song is amazing. The story is great, with some nice throwbacks to the original, and the wealth of upgrades and things to do make it a must play for any JRPG fan.
