I've never played, watched, engaged with FFVII so this pack's whole draw of "look FFVII references!" didn't click with me on as much as a level as it should have. Whereas other crossover packs have generally made up for it with interesting setpieces (the obstacle course in the Tomb Raider pack was a lot of fun for example), this pack was a little bit routine and/or drab in places as someone who has no prior connection to the games. I can get how amazing this would be to someone who has, but as I haven't this is just how I interacted with it personally.
The fact that this is canon to Final Fantasy 7 Remake is absolutely hysterical. I love that this DLC gave me my absolute favorite variety of FF7 lore: Shinra office politics. Screw battle royales and gatcha games, Reeve suffering as Hojo and Heidegger have a pissing contest in the background is absolutely where it’s at. I would play a full length game of this.
For some reason this felt shorter than the Tomb Raider pack even though it technically wasn’t. It’s less Big and more that the things you have to wash are a lot more complex, and they even move a little while you’re washing them! Honestly it’s kind makes me kinda sad that the Guard Scorpion and Airbuster’s fates are to get trashed by the heroes instead of getting hijacked by some kind of hacker character… oh well. If they had indeed gone with Mad Lad Nomura’s idea to wash the whole Shinra building I would have enjoyed it but I likely would have gone mad. I did want a little more though… oh well!
I do hope to see more fun crossover DLC packs like this and the Tomb Raider one in the future! It would be fun to have something for 14’s anniversary where you wash the Ultima Weapon and the Quicksand…

Jogado no Xbox Game Pass. Assim como Tomb Raider, eu nunca joguei FF7 e não tenho nenhuma nostalgia envolvida. Dito isso, as fases eram tão escuras e cheias de detalhes que foram, facilmente, algumas das mais frustrantes do jogo. O bar da Tifa e a maquete foi BEM legal, entretanto, e carregou o DLC pra mim.
There are so many annoying little spots you need to get that made a lot of projects tedious, but overall it's quite nice. I'm not a Final Fantasy fan so I don't have attachment to the property itself, but I could still appreciate the massive attention to detail. I also like how the Buster Sword was just... sitting around.
For some reason, the sped-up replays after each job wouldn't show up, and I don't know why.

Not as good as the Tomb Raider pack, but still good. Wish we had gotten another core AVALANCHE cleaning project, rather than just one with them and four with Shinra. The last two jobs are particularly aggravating, with a ton of easy to miss nooks and crannies, as well as very precise cleaning needed. Still, not a bad pack for the low cost of free!
I feel physically distressed after playing this. What other players describe as a relaxing turned into hell for me, when I was looking for the last tiny rest of dirt on certain parts that were really hard to reach. My perfectionism didn't like this at all and I feel like I have to mentally and physically recover from completing 2 and starting one mission.
It's not for me and that's fine.
Super uncanny that this is real though
