Haha, Gaybreak wasn't very good. Started as an 8/10, ended as a 4/10. The finale is the worst in the entire series by far. The removal of Quartz rarity and the stats that came with them greatly restricts build variety, arts drivers and Holo Cores are direct downgrades from standard Arts Quartz and Master Quartz, and the game doesn't have anything to make up for the removal of Brave Orders. The actual quartz themselves are almost a boring as the ones from Sky. It really is a step back in the ways that matter. The action combat is terrible. It's somehow more braindead than Tokyo Shitadu.

The writing is just as bad as in Corked Shart. You have all the same Falcomisms and tropes. Every single character is defined by their core traits, and every single interaction they have is written from the perspective of these traits, e.g, Victory Jack is a gambler, so any interaction the character has is related to this no matter what the context. Almata is bottom-tier in terms of series villains, and all the attempts at addressing complaints about the writing being immature just comes off as tryhard and still immature.

The soundtrack is the weakest in the series, and it feels like the same 5 tracks on repeat for almost the entire game. The gameplay and progression systems in the game are too barebones for such a long game, and it doesn't even have basic minigames to break up the monotony.

And you're telling me the sequel is even worse?
