I just completed the game at 100% (I played offline so not all my hours got counted on Steam, it took around 40 hours) and while I recommend the game, the ending is one of the biggest fumbles I remember. It´s really awful, lazy writing.

Without spoilers, there are two endings, the default one and the "true ending". The default ending is extremely rushed (think final boss battle, 5 lines of dialogue, then credits). The "true" one is unlocked after getting all the collectibles in the game (huh) and while it does change some things, it´s even worse!! Part of that ending is a literal paradox that makes no sense, the writing is extremely cringy too (tbh all of the writing regarding a certain character is very cringe, power of friendship is in the game).

However, the game is beutiful and you have a great time up until the end. The writing is very sloppy tho, even before that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ending. The combat is way too easy too. There is an "easy" mode with relics, but you don´t find the "hard mode relic" until almost the end of the game... The protagonists have 0 personality, they´re perfect heroes, period. Other party members have more depth to them (not Garl tho, he´s just the best friend ever and has the power of friendship by his side).

The game tries to be adult and a kid-game at the same time and the dissonance is strong at certain points. I wish they didn´t fumble with the writing of characters and some plot points (like the ending) because it could´ve been a 9-10/10 game, but for me right now it sits at a 6. I don´t know if I´m looking forward to the DLC or a future game, because the last 10 minutes are some of the worst experiences I´ve had in gaming. The final boss is waaaaay too easy and the real final fight is the arcade game of the aliens coming to earth (ship shooting at incoming dots that damage you). [\spoiler] The devs also put many inmersion-breaking jokes (a character is literally one of the devs) and while some are funny, most are not. I´ll stop my rant, just don´t have too many hopes towards the end of the game
