*No spoilers*
The action of this show is some of the best that anime has to offer in my opinion, visually anyway. The characters in this show are enjoyable and generally quite consistent in terms of their characteristics and actions. The voice acting is good all around, although I feel like some characters lack emotions and appear to be in the same mood throughout almost the entire show (S1-S3).
However, this show suffers most from severe pacing issues which get worse as the show progresses. For someone who hasn't played the games there are too many questions left unanswered in terms of lore, but I cannot imagine that even those that do play the game are capable of truly keeping up as the pace of this show is weirdly high.
Much like in season 2, season 3 also suffers from this problem. There are only 8 relatively shory episodes per season and the amount of big events that happen throughout just doesn't make sense. This is one of those shows that should either slow down in terms of plot speed, or have double the amount of episodes to cover it.
All in all enjoyable enough to binge watch and I rate it a 7/10 due to how enjoyable the action is. In terms of actual plot, I find it a mess. Had the show's plot and subsequently pace been as good as the action, it could have easily scored higher.
