I've been thinking about picking up Engage, but I heard it's just aggressively mediocre, which is a bit sad since I personally thought the previous entry was excellent. Engage is probably just another little rough patch for the series creatively.

Engage is pretty different from Three Houses-- it definitely has things I like, but if Three Houses was the high point in the series for you, Engage might be a disappointment, yeah, depending on what about the last one you liked the most.

The engage mechanic is fun, and combat is otherwise just the same as any title. Some of the characters I really like, others are definitely duds for me. The fishing is NOT as fun as in Three Houses, I didn't enjoy it, but I like being able to actually adopt cats and interact with them more, where in Three Houses all I could do was stand near them-- I mean, there are lots of animals you can adopt, but the cats catch fish for you, which saves me dealing with the fishing mechanic. You still get to have special meals with any two companions at your base, the costume changes everyone gets to have in base are fun and Sommie is ADORABLE. But, it's not the best writing the series has had, and while a lot of character designs grow on one, not all of them do.

However, you get to be GAY, and as a guy, getting to have as many options as anyone is kind of a big deal. In Three Houses, there were a few f/f romance options and ONE m/m, Birthright/Conquest had one each, and both those times, the m/m romance was the WORST guy. If you don't care about the romance side, then it hardly matters, but getting to have ANY of the romanceable characters not be gender-locked is huge for FE. It's the only time since Ike that your hero could wind up with a guy I didn't hate.

Three Houses was... Not great. People like to tell me it is, but having played it: it's a mess if you think about it for five minutes.

Engage is fine and I'm LOVING it. I love the Somniel because after the monastery, it just isn't as bloated.

People say it's mediocre but like... I wanna know their measure on that because I feel people just think Three House's "everyone has a grim tragic backstory feel bad for them" wasn't... Great. Here, everyone's pretty mixed. Some people, they come from well-adjusted lives. Others are dealing with coping with the fact their brother might die of illness. Another might be a trained former assassin.

I personally loved Three Houses but I also found it kind of cringe in the story department. I think another thing going on is that Engage just came out so we don't have too many varying opinions yet.
