It is such a pleasure to the eyes and the ears to view the art and listen to the soundtrack and the gameplay is actually really freaking good and smooth while being really punishing and difficult but not unfair, the game has a good learning curve and overall Rubinite is such a fun game to play, yeah the game can be short but it has incredible quality so I think that's acceptable.

29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
this has gotta be the most hard yet most fair videogame I've played all year, the ost is downright amazing, the fights are all fun yet extremely challenging, the twist at the "end" was great, the story was genuinely top tier and the secrets are enough to satisfy your curiosity incase you are one of those secret hunters.
