Only really played this so I could go into Alan Wake 2 without missing anything and im glad I did. Story was pretty good and the kind to get you using your mind a bit (although could be confusing towards the end), atmosphere and art design was really good, and gameplay was decent although got repetitive since at the end of the day it boiled down to shoot, throw, shoot, throw. Wish they removed enemy encounters altogether after you take them out the first time, since the game has randomly timed missions that pop up people could use that if they wanna go shoot stuff, having enemies respawn as you enter a room trying to do something made the combat feel more repetitive than it was.

Overall solid game though, looking forward to finally playing Alan Wake 2

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.

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.
