I will start this review by admitting that this product is very expensive. It costs about 1/3 as much as the game itself. If you compare the costs and the amount of content they provide, the amiibo will never come close to being comparable in value to the game. With that being said, if you have the money to spend, I really enjoy having this amiibo. Once a day, I can scan it in for a special chest. The chest usually provides a random weapon that would be hard to find early on, but more readily available later in the game. Some may feel that this is cheating, but others will not. I am very particular about making sure that I beat the entire game on my own with no help or advice from online guides or friends. Still, I have never felt like I was cheating when using my Amiibo. The weapons are it unlocks are very fragile, and will break by the time you fight 3 or 4 enemies. So, while it will only provide you with a small, temporary benefit, it is very fun to unlock these special weapons and has increased my enjoyment of the game.
