    I just refunded this game. Don't waste your $70, it's not worth it. I think $50 is a good deal for it, a game that is almost two years old.
    Good things:
    - Beautiful graphic - Legendary characters - Modern, playable game mechanics. -Beautiful animations -The mechanics of character stats and weapon stats are good. But honestly, as a gamer, I don't care about that too much. I hope it's
    I just refunded this game. Don't waste your $70, it's not worth it. I think $50 is a good deal for it, a game that is almost two years old.
    Good things:
    - Beautiful graphic
    - Legendary characters
    - Modern, playable game mechanics.
    -Beautiful animations
    -The mechanics of character stats and weapon stats are good. But honestly, as a gamer, I don't care about that too much. I hope it's simple enough and works for me.
    Bad things:
    -SquareEnix is ​​too greedy and delusional about the price of this game.
    - New gameplay but not great, very shallow to be a real-time action game. You spam a button to attack and a button to command. Parry and dodge is the joke in this game.
    - The map and enemies for the first few hours of the game are impressive but then you find it a boring loop and you wonder why you spent time on all that crap. Bad mission design.
    -The story in the game is a silly and incomplete patchwork. They even want to cut it into 3 parts to get your money for $210 from an original game that was completed over twenty years ago. Honestly, twenty years ago, the story it conveyed might have been a cliché and flashy tale for teenagers, but now it's become shallow and silly, flashy.
    -The PC port is a disdain for PC players, it doesn't have the most usual settings to tweak, even Full Screen mode. The $70-80 fee is more expensive than all the AAA games these days but it's a stuttering mirco game, which is a disdain for customers.
    Summary:
    The game is quite good, the price to pay is too high compared to its real value. story like a teen anime movie. Don't buy for 70-80$.
    Finally, if you want to remake a game, stick to the original story. Or make it completely different and interesting in the first place. Don't create a ridiculous patchwork and treat it like a trendy half-plot.
    it will be worth 7-8 points but I will give it 0 points for disrespecting customers

    it was a good idea to take the plot of ff7 and put it on ff15. but to sell for the full cost of the prologue, even without Russian localization.

    This fake Remake was one of the most disappointing games I've ever played.
    And the "optimization" of this PC port is trash
    So, I can easily suggest you to just avoid this trainwreck

    Worst "Remake" played. And actual scam from Square Enix.
    They menage to capture the people with the nostalgic factor, and than they leave to Nomura and Toriyama the free script choice for change the whole plot of the original main game.
    And they have even menage to ruin the basic core of the the Materia system, trying to put together a sort of pseudo hybrid action game, and creating

    Linear maps, and a padding and excessive dilated plot contribute to put a grave stone to this garbage project

    A garbage game, with badly optimization, trash plot, soulless characters and monotonous gameplay.
    Disappointing on pretty much everything

    Terrible stutter issue, even on high end machines. sometimes game breaking, i.e. literal slideshow.
    still not fixed after being on epic for 6 months. Developer clearly doesn't care.

    One of the most terrible actions games I've had the misfortune to play. A bad Final Fantasy game.
    Very linear, very easy, monotonous, boring and with a plot so bad that it leaks everywhere...
    An overall very bad experience

    P.S.: it has also a badly optimization.
    With glitch, framerates drops, and low textures pop up

    A boring action game and a dull Final Fantasy game
    First of all it's incomplete, and second it wasn't even a Remake in the first place.
    Why even bother to defend this fanfiction?
    Oh... yeah.... The fanservice right?
    LMAO

    The PC version already has the improved textures from the PS5 version, but sometimes you'll just notice crappy textures, environments or NPCs that haven’t fully loaded yet, and of course image tearing in some not-so-frequent moments. The PC version is good, but personally I'd reach for the PS5 version which just runs smoother. [Issue#317]

    FF7R is a fantastic reimaging of the iconic title. Refusing to classify itself as a nostalgia act, it expands upon the original narrative in new and exciting ways. The combat system has a seamless fluidity to it, allowing for engaging and entertaining gameplay sequences. Artistically, FF7R retains the level of quality players have come to expect from Square Enix, but it does falter ever so slightly in some environments. The updated rendition of the classic OST is outstanding from start to finish, with the sound design team matching it in every regard.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is a visual marvel, and the environment focussed story is perhaps more relevant now than ever. The slick gameplay and new story twists make the game worth playing even for old school fans. The game does overstay its welcome, however. And the sidequests are a bit bland. Luckily, the Intergrade chapter largely fixes these complaints. If Square Enix stays that course, then Rebirth promises to be great.
