My thoughts:

The game got an awesome story about reaching the top as a professional esports player. Of course, this involves grinding, and lots of it. If you decide to buy this game, then you will be finding yourself playing the same 3-4 mini-games over and over again. I'm not going to lie to you none of these minigames are fun at all, and completing them doesn't feel rewarding. Then I would like to point out that this game has HUGE potential. Not only is the story so awesome that it kept me playing for around 5 hours before writing this review but the combat system in the game is pretty nice. Right now the battle system is confusing, not challenging, feels like it's the same battle over and over again, and could really use some rework.
