Me too.

Admittedly Time Stranger's world is way more ambitious than ZA and it has voice acting, which ZA desperately needs in a lot of its cutscenes, they can be pretty awkward. But I think the absolute reverence for Time Stranger is bizarre. I expected so much from it from the reviews and I'm just not seeing it. It's a good game, don't get me wrong. But second highest user score next to Expedition 33 is absolutely wild. It's not remotely close to E33.

There is room for valid criticism with both Time Stranger and ZA. I think a similar amount of room for valid criticism in each despite what the user reviews say. I'd like to give people more credit than to say it's just people being mad at Pokemon/Nintendo and Time Stranger is not Pokemon/Nintendo, but I dunno. I think it's just a combination of that and Digimon fans waiting a while for a new, good game.

If I had a few hours to play and I was picking the one I'd have more fun with, I'm playing ZA every time.

Most of these are in fact useless, although the dragon Giratina is worse than any of them.

But Komala? Not only is Komala not useless it's borderline actually good
