Inherently more fun than REMAKE, solely due to where it takes place in Final Fantasy VII's story, but as a result of trying to feel epic near the end it has some tonal whiplash it can't avoid. A lot of minigames as well, and I wish these were more seamlessly woven into the world as opposed to always feeling like discrete distractions (it doesn't help that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth did this better earlier this year).

Otherwise, it's some of the best combat in the series, visually vibrant, and has a narrative that's just propulsive enough to keep things moving if you avoid going down the side content rabbit hole.
