I love games with huge worlds full of secrets, where nothing is explicitly taught to the player and they must figure it out themselves. (The witness, Outer wilds etc.)
This game is definitely follows suit, and is chock-full of 'Aha' moments and other clever things. I enjoyed my time playing through it, exploring the world is fantastic, and figuring out all of the mechanics of the unique items was a joy.
The only problem I have is the so called endgame: finding all hidden eggs and post content. 90% of the eggs I had no issue finding by myself, but man those last 10 or so were brutal. I admit I had to look up hints on where to find them, otherwise I would have NEVER found where they were.
Overall I had a good time, but with how short the main ending was (only 5 hours! Then another 6 finding the missing eggs / end content), the price may be a bit steep for time spent playing.

The first 5 hours of the original game, but stretched to be a fully fledged 30+ hour ARPG.
After hearing that, I was skeptical of how much I would like this game. Not only since its only part 1/3, and we have to wait at least another 4+ years for the finale (and 1 more for Rebirth to come to PC), but I felt like they would add a ton of filler that might ruin the original vision of the game.
However, after beating the main story (I haven't played the intergrade missions yet, but I don't think it will change my opinion drastically), I can say without a doubt that this game is fantastic. Yeah its quite linear and there is some filler content, but walking around the 3D environment and interacting with the characters / the plot being more in depth than original game's Midgar is great.
The combat system is fantastic as well, flows really nicely and swapping to other characters is done SO WELL. Can't praise it enough. It didn't need to be as fun as it is, and I've heard Rebirth's combat is even better.
The biggest downside is the amount of work required to get the game running nice on PC. Installing FFVII Hook is absolutely necessary (turn off motion blur, VRR, depth of field, etc.) otherwise the game looks SO BAD.
Overall its an 8/10 or 9/10 game. Definitely worth playing, but only if you've played the original first

Came into this with very high expectations, and it definitely didn't live up to the hype. I'm sure it was revolutionary on release tho lol. It was still a solid enough experience to make me go back to get all the endings.
Cool idea
