Dodgeball Academia

I downloaded this for free from PS Plus because I adored the art style and I casually found myself loving the heck out of this game. It's the perfect length for me, taking about 10-15 hours depending on how many side missions you choose to do (or how good/bad at the game you are). Art style is fantastic, the writing and characters are super charming, and the gameplay is simple but fun and I never found myself bored because they are constantly able to implement new mechanics without the game feeling bloated nor repetitive. The story is simple but executed pretty well, and I found myself laughing at plenty of lines and little character quirks. Each dodgeballer feels unique and caters to certain play styles, and I could easily see myself replaying and going for platinum. My only real issues are that some of the equipment pieces feel significantly better or worse than others and sometimes it feels like characters aren't punished enough for their actions, but those are really nitpicks and the latter may actually be to the game's benefit because side characters can be expanded upon. The story definitely leaves itself open for more, and I'm excited to see how they can improve upon their already great base game.
