It's time I say it: Engage's story and characters are not anywhere near bad enough to be brought up nearly every time the game gets mention nor does it deserve to be described with literally any of the vitriol it usually always gets.
Typically, when you replay a game, you do so for gameplay reasons
I have never once thought "Oh man, I would love to play this game again, but the story sucks!" I've already seen the story. I'm just gonna skip it lmao
