Such a great way to play this classic, they took everything that was good from the original and pushed it to 11. Something I appreciate is that they went back and improved the somewhat linear progression that the OG had, theres just a lot more reasons to go and backtrack like the addition of new requests, objects / drawers you can't interact with without the necessary key items, or just simply going back to pick up treasure you missed, exploring RE4 has just never been so enjoyable and engaging until now.

The addition of parrying is great and just gives you another option to your approach in combat and crouching works great to not only make the level design feel more natural but also lets you stealth around and dodge incoming projectiles if you dont feel like using your knife or wasting ammo.

This game is just amazing and I highly recommend to people who have never played it before (although I still highly encourage you to play the original at some point).

If this game has told me anything its that we absolutely need more classic jrpg inspired indie games.

Sea of Stars is a great tribute to the classics, from its beautiful pixel art to its catchy music id highly recommend this one for fans of the genre. While I did enjoy Sea of Stars story, unfortunately the characters just weren't it for me, while the game does introduce interesting characters later on the first 3 you start with (aka the main characters) were so bland that I couldn't form any connection to them which really hindered the story for me. They react to things so generically and have barely any personality that they really needed to go back to the drawing board for the main leads.

Gameplay is really fun and addictive with the interactivity keeping you engaged for quite a while.. until it doesnt. Each character only has 3 abilities which can get pretty repetitive for some people, they really needed to give more abilities (5 minimum) and space unlocked them out more evenly.

Despite my complaints though this game is really solid and the fact I still enjoyed it as much as I did should say a lot, hopefully for this teams next RPG venture they iron out these things as they know how to make a game with a lot of charm.

What can i even say. I had played OG FF7 once before Remake came out and when it did Remake became one of my favourite games ever and truly made me appreciate the world of FF7 to the point where I have now played OG FF7 3 times since then + watched 2 full playthroughs, have watched AC a good number of times, have played both OG Crisis Core and Reunion a few times, have played Dirge and watched Before Crisis. I used to consider FF10 as my favourite but I have truly learned to fall in love with the world of 7 and its characters since 2020 thanks to Remake really sending me down the rabbit hole.

Remake was a fantastic game but Rebirth is a much better game where its just improvements over improvements. Combat has been tweaked to flow better with additions that simply just make sense like the synergy stuff, the hallways that plagued past FF titles like 10, 13 and 7R are a thing of the past as the level design is much more open and invites you to look around. If you liked Remake you will definitely enjoy this game too, while some of the new story stuff may be off putting to some, it doesnt take away from how wonderfully the original story beats and characters come to life like you've never seen before.

The only thing that sucks about this game is that now the wait starts all over again for part 3 which we probably wont get our hands on for another 3 - 4 years.

First time playing this game and it was fantastic, if you didnt tell me this was a remaster of a gamecube game I would definitely think this was a modern release. This game does atmosphere and exploration so well and you feel like you're always making progress. However I feel like the combat system didn't age the best, its not bad at all but it could be better, also wish there was fast travel as running around everywhere can get tedious especially at the end when you have to get all the artifacts, worst part of the game in my opinion but at least it ended on some pretty good boss fights. Please release Prime 2 and 3 before you release Prime 4 please Nintendo, I would really like to play the rest.

An excellent finale to a story that has been built up for a long time. Glad I played this and Shadowbringers back to back as I feel like it enhanced the experience. As someone who thinks a lot about the future and why we are here in the first place the story really hit home for me, so many moments where characters would say something and it would make my eyes teary, I dont think I have ever experienced something with the power to do that so many times with just WORDS. FF14 as a whole just has some of the most beautifully written dialogue that its going to change my perspective on how I view dialogue going forward. Fantastic game.

After spending the past month playing all of Remedys games (minus Quantum Break), I have to say this is the best one. Story was mind bending and thought provoking, gameplay was much better than AW1, settings were fantastic. In AW1 the forest setting got boring pretty quick with how drawn out the levels were so they took that and just added much more variety, Alans takes place in New York so if you get sick of the forest with Saga just swap to Alan, but even with Saga in the forest theres just much more variety, from your usual spooky woods to an amusement park and hospital theres just so much more in this game to enjoy. Cant wait to see whats next for Remedy as I really look forward to both the Max Payne remakes and Control 2.
