Didn't read the review, because the bolded text put me off. Skipped to the verdict and called it a day.

I have very mixed feelings about this game. It's broken in many ways. Still haven't finished lunatic difficulty and that says a lot. Possibly the worst Fire Emblem that had a European release. Paid DLC should not exist. Now that I think about it, definitely the worst Fire Emblem that had a European release. Would rate it 7.8/10, that's how I feel about it at the moment. Good thing that I already went in with low expectations, because otherwise I would have cried like a little baby.

Paid DLC shouldn't exist, I agree with that. But what was so broken? The only broken character is Donnell and you don't have to use him. 

Pairing up is extremely broken when you know how to use it. And in some cases pair up is practically impossible to avoid.

To me, "broken" is a term meaning that the game is unplayable at points. Is Awakening imbalanced? Yes. In fact, if people read my review, especially the part about pairing up, I addressed that issue. And went on to explain why I stopped caring so much.
