The combat system's easy enough to pick up on, and they give you a nice infodump in the beginning of the game about what happened previously, so in that sense it's not all that difficult.
I... wouldn't really say it's a great game, but I love thinking about the practical details of that world: they use this magic system called 'psynergy' and what happened at the end of the previous game caused a lot of 'normal' people to develop powers. Like, you get one party member who is of the newly developed 'beastmen' race, and she has abilities like 'Track' which enables her to follow scent trails, or 'Spirit Sense'.
And I love the puzzles.
Dark Dawn is a lot easier than the other two games, though. If you could find them, I'd play them first. There's a lot more grinding and backtracking involved in them, but I love the puzzles in those games more.
