An excellent finale to a story that has been built up for a long time. Glad I played this and Shadowbringers back to back as I feel like it enhanced the experience. As someone who thinks a lot about the future and why we are here in the first place the story really hit home for me, so many moments where characters would say something and it would make my eyes teary, I dont think I have ever experienced something with the power to do that so many times with just WORDS. FF14 as a whole just has some of the most beautifully written dialogue that its going to change my perspective on how I view dialogue going forward. Fantastic game.

After spending the past month playing all of Remedys games (minus Quantum Break), I have to say this is the best one. Story was mind bending and thought provoking, gameplay was much better than AW1, settings were fantastic. In AW1 the forest setting got boring pretty quick with how drawn out the levels were so they took that and just added much more variety, Alans takes place in New York so if you get sick of the forest with Saga just swap to Alan, but even with Saga in the forest theres just much more variety, from your usual spooky woods to an amusement park and hospital theres just so much more in this game to enjoy. Cant wait to see whats next for Remedy as I really look forward to both the Max Payne remakes and Control 2.

The most a game has made me cry since FF14: Shadowbringers. For a game that was made in 6 months and is meant to be a much shorter game (even being compared to the Kaito Files) I will say it exceeded my expectations. The amount of side content is much more than I expected with the Coliseum alone being the best its ever been in the entire series. If you were disappointed in how they handled Kiryus "sendoff" in Yakuza 6 then this game should definitely satisfy you. I love these damn games.
