I wanted to loves this, but FF7 hasn't aged well. There sure is a great plot and an interesting world to explore, but I just couldn't deal with the cumbersome navigation through blurry backgrounds, fighting animations that are infuriatingly slow and bewildering tonal inconsistencies.
This childhood classic holds a special place in my heart and the presentation is still wonderful. However, the fighting system and story seem a bit basic in retrospect.
With this maximalist take on the Zelda formula established by Breath of the Wild, Nintendo turns everything up to 11. More playful, even bigger and better in almost every aspect, this game makes the predecessor obsolete.
Venba manages to tell a touching story about cultural belonging and parent-child relationships in a shorter time than it would take to make one of the tasty looking meals you are cooking in this game.
Outstanding remaster of the GameCube classic with awe inspiring atmosphere and awesome exploration. The backtracking was a little tedious at times though.
