It's a lot like the PS2's Persona series: You don't want to read three hours of text, spend half of your in-game life level-grinding only to be confused and frustrated by a grand surplus of skills, special abilities, inventory units, item combination schemes and Byzantine control and menu systems. But, having resolved to at least give it a try, just so you can say you have, you may get caught up in that game world, and many hours later, a great deal of Freedom Unite's gameplay architecture will be almost second nature."
