FF7 Remake Captures Nostalgia But Suffers From Open-World Bloat
- Exhilarating tribute to original FF7 with iconic characters and nostalgic story moments, but bogged down by open-world bloat and excessive padding
- Gorgeous graphics and cinematics, but frustrating amount of tedious minigames and side content
- Fun combat system enhanced by new synergy abilities between characters
- Walks line between pleasing nostalgic fans and keeping new players engaged without original game nostalgia
- Worth playing for story and characters, but overstuffed game length might exhaust players' patience
