To be clear, I’m enjoying XVI, and XV was the one game I disliked so much I dropped it. But try either one! Different people may like different games, and that’s fine.
As far as XVI goes, my main gripes are that combat is pretty slow until you’ve unlocked three sets of abilities, and it relies just a little bit too heavily on its Game of Thrones inspiration. But once combat gets going, it feels really good. You can dodge or parry almost every attack in the game, and it feels pretty badass to get right in the enemy’s face and have them not be able to touch you because you’ve learned the moveset.
