Given FF7 reb another try, thanx to my frnds save file I played Newgame plus mode skipped all the filler side shit, and open world shit, and there’s no level gatting this time around just focused on main path and story had a good and at the same time frustratingly bad experience especially fuck boring ass puzzle design and bad chapter 13.

The story is slow but characters goofy and cute moments carried it for me, the ending wise namura strikes again with Kingdom heart convoluted shit lol, overall it just feels like a filler episode where nothing important happened apart from some good moments here and there, wish the base game didn’t have any OW bs, and just linear more story heavy but it is what it is old review is right below no need to retread old grounds. same score as before don't recommend the game

OLD REVIEW
It truly pains me to write this but this is my exp my opinions and criticism which in my eyes is pretty fair.

The game is fabulous when it's like remake focusing on combat, story (cutscene and goofy character interactions), linear levels and town areas (like remake stuff), and boss fights, and other stuff, also have to mention there are good improvements over remakes when it comes to remake and linear level design and I do love queens blood card game.

At the same time game is abysmal when its forces(cuz of level gatting) you to do OW bottom-of-the-barrel stuff(we talkin about towers, digging shit, scanning shit, combat challenges and other stuff) OW stuff could've been digestible if the traversal was fine but this shit sucks ass, God forbid if u move away from the main pathways( which btw u more often then not move away cuz the main pathways are not clear) u keep on getting stuck on rocks and overall animation system is very annoying, the jankines make the whole OW exp 10x worse.

and what is surprising is that I don't see no reviewer mention these below-average movements and OW stuff, while these are the same folks that tear a new asshole to SpiderMan or other OW games for having ok OW which is optional btw and the movement of SM so fun that those OW stuff become fun.

In short i loved every second is not spent in OW and dread every second that is in the OW.

It truly hurts me to drop this game as FF7remake is my top 10 games of all time but sadly this ow which lack of better word, is “Pathetic”, and I am happy that many folks are enjoying this game but also sad that I can’t be one of them.

if I have to score my 10 hours I have to give it a 6/10 as it do have great parts and story moments in those 10 hours, but it also was making me depress cuz to get to great moment I have to swim through shit.

The open world is really bad, western AAA slop and it really demolishes the pacing.

When I got to chapter 3 the game was immensely more enjoyable.

@HazeRedux exactly when its linear and story/gameplay focused its phenomenal but seeing as I said one of my fav game of all time become OW just to pad out length broke my heart and make me depressed everytime I tried playing it.
