I was absorbed by this game for 2 months. On a personal level. I feel I felt more engaged in Remake, just because that game entire focus was on the main story. Rebirth the main story was a bit more of an afterthought. That doesn't mean they were bad or felt out of place, It just affected your pacing alot if you were committed to doing everything. So much so you had to remember were you were in the story when you finally got back to it.

I also do have criticisms on 10-round VR tasks. It felt like I spent a week slamming my head against a wall looking for the right approach, learning fights and with YT videos to get pasts the last few.

All in all, I do like where they're going, eat up the theorycrafting and can't wait for the conclusion.
