Thinking about getting...

[Andrew R]

About how long is the game? How would you describe the difficulty?

I haven't played the game a lot. But from feedback that comes from my friends, It starts of easy, but the further you go on It could get harder for players.

How much of the show should I watch?

Is it on streaming devices? :)

You should watch all of it, since this game is set after the story, it even has some references about Future, which you should also watch in order to understand/enjoy everything to its fullest.

It's not super hard, but you'd have to think about your team composition getting into the late game.
The game took me 30 hours to get 100%, including the 3.0 update. So I'd recommend getting it from a sale if you're not a huge fan from the show yet.

I liked the show enough and still like reading some stories, I believe that gave me a good enough idea of what happened. I believe I watched and read enough random stuff, to know about the little things and stuff like the [spoilerghost gems stuff and that in future steven get's a breakdown and everyone kinda works on their personality? Like Pearl being less worried and doing more stuff for herself, just like Jasper is supposed to learn to be herself [/spoiler]

If that is true then I believe along the way, I got to know enough important things to know the story so far.

The first season I could watch fully, I'm not a fan of skipping to many episodes in a show and continue from there.

How much different is this here from the first two games?
I either started watching or finished watching the first game which appeared to be some kind of handy game? I avoided the second one so far because I heard of several bugs and don't remember many attempts to fix them.

I'm kinda interessted in this one now even if I'm not actively watching it right now.
Steven universe future seems to be better than I first thought from what I got to read, I was somehow wary of it at first.

edit: steven has to be in the party right? I remember him being not so active and more supportive in battle?

1. This one is more similar to the first one, it's quite linear instead of focusing on exploration like the second. By the time I played the second one I didn't find any bugs, and in terms of fun, mechanics, story, the whole shebang, I'd recommend the second one over this one imo.

2. As I said in a previous response, you'd have to finish the series fully to completely get it and enjoy it, you can read about stuff, but if you don't experience the show first hand it takes away some enjoyment. And if you don't watch Future or the last seasons of the original show, you're really missing out on the best of the series.

3. Yes, Steven has to be in the party. He always fulfils a support role, with some poke and aoe dmg, but it's nice to have him around for the items and heals.

With the Connie and lion update they added a mode where you can generate infinite stages and I’ve spent a lot of hours on that mode I have it on the switch and have 100% all of the stages so hopefully that shows you how good it is also for understanding the story you would have to watch the show and play the other two games because it won’t make much sense if you don’t hope this helps
