Even with quality of life improvements in the remake, Demon's Souls feels like a rough first draft of something utterly brilliant. I enjoyed parts of this game, but ultimately put it away because it just didn't feel fair. It's not From Soft's hardest game, but it felt like their most punishing considering the scarcity of healing resources, checkpoints, Soul form, and world tendency. I think those factors prevented me from enjoying a game I would have otherwise liked or even loved.
Final Fantasy 16 is a seriously inconsistent game with many issues that will put people off. Its pacing is horrific, the open-world sections are dull, most of the sidequests are completely forgettable, and at many points it seriously feels like this game does not respect my time. However, the high points of this game are absolutely extraordinary. Some of the boss fights and story moments of this game are among the best and most memorable moments of any game that released in 2023. If you want to enjoy this game, you really have to trudge through a lot of boring busywork, even with the main quest. Considering this game took me 50 hours to beat (of which I think 35-40 hours was story-related content,) that is asking for a lot. However, if you are looking for a game that is a slow burn with its story that climaxes near perfectly, then I recommend this game.
For some ratings, they are more reflective of how I feel about the game rather than the quality. This is one of those. I did not like the opening of Resident Evil 7 at all, it absolutely broke me. The first-person perspective combined with the chainsaw was too much for me to handle.
That being said, if you're a fan of horror games and are not as squeamish as me, I imagine this game is utterly amazing. This just isn't for me, and I respect the hell out of this game for being so ballsy as to scare away potential fans.
