In every aspect besides gameplay, FF7R is a masterpiece. Stunning visuals, killer story and characters, and probably the single best game soundtrack I've ever heard.
However, the gameplay didn't do much for me. In general I'm not a fan of JRPGs, but I almost would have preferred the combat from the original as opposed to the weird action hybrid in this game. It feels like it's trying to be both styles, and in my opinion it falls flat on each. I can see why it could be appealing to some, this is just my opinion.
Also it might sound a bit nitpicky, but I was pretty frustrated with how slow some parts are. Holding a button or direction while your character does something painfully slowly is not a fun experience, yet this game is riddled with segments where you do exactly that.
