Is not for me... the experience is interesting, and the high point is the artistic side.
But the story is not that engaging and it becomes quickly repetitive. When I found fun in some dangerous places, the stakes were so high that I usually ended up running away.
I will probably take a break, at least for a few days.

Ok, now I get what all the fuss is about.
For moments the repetitive puzzle approach bores me, and also at the same time, the dopamine does its work making me try to solve more and more... hey, some puzzles are not intuitive at all, still at the same time, the level design adds some limitations not to make it impossible and frustrating to solve.
In the end the drama and tension are so addictive that it makes it difficult to stop playing.

Just started another challenge of the month, this one with Babylon and the science victory.

I finished the main story, and as always I want to master it but get bored by the time it takes to complete one level.
Yes, it might resonate with a season of my life, but not this one... maybe I will be back if I need some nostalgia, but I doubt it.

Some puzzles are good out of the box ideas, but then it becomes repetitive.
Now I have Marvel Snap for when I go to bathroom or I'm in a waiting room.

I think a lot of people faced the same issue... marketing was odd. I delay buying it because I thought I will be requested to buy cards or costumes and that some part of the game will be unavailable for a solo player.
I ended up buying it on a steam sale, and it was a great experience. At the beginning the team interaction was cringe, I felt like it was dumb, but ended up having a lot of fun making friends with Magik, Nico and Blade.
At the end it took me lot of time, probably I did not understood the dynamic at first and wasted a lot of friendship points, but the ending was good and now I feel pity that no sequel is on the making.

Is interesting, and informative, but I lost interest almost immediately, because is not that fun but also I did not learn too much.
My 10 year old me could never dream with a game like this.
So 5 start to honor that little guy.

Take a long time to finish the main story, but what a nostalgia trip. Impossible not to rate 5 stars.
It improved a lot how I attached to the characters. Aerith for example is a much more relatable character (I played a long time ago, first in a bad Spanish translation, and then in English), I felt her sense of humor and how she behaves more like me than any other character; or also Barret, that I always felt it was a comedy relief cartoon character, and now I felt him like the father of the group, just like Drax in the last GOTG movie, but also it might have to be that I'm in a different season of my life, then a teenager, now a grown up dad... and don't let me start with the extra time I could spent with Jesee, Biggs and Wedge, hats off to the team that made that decision.
Long trip, but I feel the joy... now I still have pending the Yuffie side story.

Update:
Just finished Yuffie side story and it was really fun, the fort condor mini game was a good connection to the original.
About Nero and Sonon, well, there was not enough time to feel sad or scared but they were nice additions to the story.

A game that raised the bar forever.
Somehow I always feel that there were something lacking.
I liked the style, script, lore and the game play (with the character learning new skills), but I feel like there were almost no challenge, or that the skills were misused.
At the end, a good story, and a game to put a small pause in the day and in between heavy games.

At the beginning the voices distracted me, in special Flynn, it sounded so out of character. The issue continue but I think I get used to it.
Is a good game, no too complex, not that simple, played on hard mode and completed it in 36hs.

Is always the same with this simulator, looks boring but in the end it consumes every single free minute of my life.
I quit playing because I was using the trial month of game pass. Maybe I will enable it in the future and continue.

Compelling and emotive, even though for some moment I felt detached, but that might be that it took a lot of time to finish it.
Complex enough to enjoy the story and not get bored as if it was a long movie.
