>played Awakening a while after release
>fell off it fairly quickly
>never tried it again
>no reason, just wasn't feeling it at the time

>played Three Houses on release
>thought it was fine but really didn't like the samey character building, ugly visuals and also I got the church route which was super inconclusive as a story
>finished it but was pretty sick of it by the end and felt unsatisfied

>played Engage on release because I was like "fuck it why not, I'll give them one more try"
>thought it was awesome, loved the emblem system, unit building was varied and fun, and I'm also just a fan of Mika Pikazo's art
>made me want to keep playing more

>played Sacred Stones via Switch GBA collection
>enjoyed it a lot, simple but effective story, good mechanics, feels like the core of the others ones I played, with no fluff
>cool!

>going to play Path of Radiance when it comes to Switch GC collection
I'm glad I gave Engage a try.
