both the remake and rebirth have so many issues but god when they get good, they’re literally the most fun gaming experiences I’ll ever have. This game knocked it out of the ballpark with how much detail everything has now from the original and while I love reliving a lot of these fun moments from my literal favorite game, the reason why I’d give it an 8 is mostly because they’re games I’d say that compliment the original, not replace it and I feel like the themes of the original game don’t really matter as much since the story of the remake series of games is going for something new, not something I’m totally against but it’s personally why I can’t put them above the original game. But god, I haven’t loved an experience with a game this much in a while and I gotta commend square that. Phenomenal game and probably the only reason to get a PS5.

EDIT NVM IM GIVING IT A 9 IT WAS SO MUCH FUN
