On the whole, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is dense, deep, and really rather delightful. It can sometimes feel like a bit too much of a good thing, with the pacing slipping in the later chapters, thanks to an unnecessarily complicated protagonist hierarchy and some grindy map management, but the battles have never felt better, and there's no knocking the sheer amount to do.It takes a lot for a game to hold my attention for as long as Fortune's Weave, and with a bunch of content still waiting for me, I'll be happy to pour even more days into it.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a massive SRPG and an extremely ambitious game. While its tactical battles, exploration, and management systems are excellent, a disjointed narrative holds this entry back from its potential.

Intelligent Systems delivers supreme tactical combat in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave with refined mechanics and a plethora of options to choose from, and a story that is uniquely structured in a way that encourages fans to overturn every stone. It’s sure to delight fans of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, but is also independent enough that newcomers shouldn’t feel lost.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a towering monument of a game, mixing every flavor of Fire Emblem gameplay from the franchise's 30+ year history with a hugely ambitious three-part, multi-protagonist storyline. While there are a few uneven story moments and people will enjoy some aspects of the game more than others, developer Intelligent Systems have done a pretty admirable job of wrangling this unwieldy colossus of a game while giving players the ability to choose their own path through its epic campaign. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave will almost certainly burn long and bright as one of the Switch 2's signature experiences.
