    Played the first 4 hours. It's almost the game we want. The characters are ugly. The blocking is not very accurate. Your party needs AI and it has none and just passes balls to you. Your party gets killed/hit if you don't block for them (you press block they do their thing) as you are trying to do your thing. It's hard to put into words how its just off. 6/10. I want more of this but it needs to be done better.
