And if you’ve got no luck, you can still grind your way to success with developing skills and getting experience playing the game (Best of all as you grind you’ll level up skills which literally improve you luck, so even an poor unlucky soul like me can get some of that luck-o-matic-magic).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
175 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I intentionally want to avoid talking about specific story details because uncovering the story bit by bit is another extremely rewarding experience from your subsequent playthroughs.
