"In the end, FINAL FANTASY XIII is just not a very good game. It’s boring, repetitive, doesn’t understand how a linear design should work and feels like a 40 hour lecture in mechanics you could have mastered in an hour if the game would just let you. The writing is a joke more than half of the time and the story desperately wants to appear more complex than it actually is. It’s not an unplayable mess and it have a few good ideas here and there, but as a whole it’s just one big disappointment that’s not worth it. Not four years ago, not today."
