What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Serah and Noel are fairly likable characters at the start, and they really grew on me as I played through the game.
This also translates into much improved gameplay as you are only focusing on 2 characters that are always in the party, with the third slot being monsters you can capture and raise which is the biggest change compared to the previous entry.
I personally wasn't a big fan of the FF-13 OST, it has a few amazing songs but in general it's very whelming. 13-2 has one of the best soundtracks of the series with banger after banger.
The graphics are really good, and the cinematics are absolutely stunning.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
