Bio
Hello! My name is Michael and I like JRPGs and obscure Japanese games mostly

Usual review criteria is as follows:
5 stars = Something either near-flawless or very personal to me. Consider this a sort of special tier.
4 stars = Very good! A game I'd likely recommend or otherwise go back to myself.
3 stars = Alright. Some hiccups and maybe something I'd recommend with a word of caution, but not bad.
2 stars = Bad. I actively didn't enjoy the majority of my time with this game and I would not recommend it or replay it.
1 star and below = Abysmal. Something would either have to be so thoroughly broken or personally offensive for me to put it here.

This game is insanely awesome and I can't wait to jump into Endless mode. The game's systems improve literally every day which keeps the experience pretty fresh. Incredibly impressive project, I really pray this doesn't get taken down.

Yuffie controls like a dream and the writing is on point. If the gameplay here and the banter in the post-credits scene is anything to go by, Rebirth is about to be the best game I play in my life.

When this game is good it's an 11/10 but then it'll plummet to a 5/10 for 2 hours at a time out of nowhere. Has me very excited for the rest of the trilogy though, since I think the rest of the game is better suited for this kind of remake and imo is a lot better than the stuff in Midgar.
