There's a reason Midgar was four hours long in the original. At thirty hours long I feel the game is a little uncomfortably bloated. Far too much side content and filler, made up for by the many positives. Beautiful to look at, an amazing soundtrack and brilliant voice work made FF7 remake hit hard when other games this bloated would have struggled to retain my interest.

The combat system I was torn on at first, I didn't quite wrap my head around the ATB/Action hybrid setup. Once things clicked though, I had an absolute blast melting through the many mobs of Midgar. Hyped to play Rebirth, but tempted to give this a bash on hard first...
