The game started off really great, and I enjoyed exploring the grasslands, junon, corel, and finding the intel and the protorelics. But then when we got to gongaga, it just got really tiring and draining, and I found it hard to complete all the side content. Cosmo canyon was meh in terms of exploration. Nibelhiem was the best area to explore but they completely butchered Shinra Manor and had you throw boxes at shit for an hour.

As for the story, I was fine with most of it except for the fact that Zack is barely in the game despite being advertised as being a main part of the story and the ending felt so rushed and messy. Not to mention Aerith's death is not very emotional or heartfelt at all and Cloud becomes the kid from the sixth sense and can talk to her?? Other than that, this is a pretty solid game.
