Final Fantasy VII Rebirth-Bloat, that's the word I'd use to describe this game. It took me 100+ hours to finish the game and it would be insane to say there weren't moments of enjoyment. The game's production values should make any jrpg fan scream. Amazing animation and those stylistic cutscenes during boss battles turly live up to the dreams of what HD JRPGS could be. But beyond that you finally have Square capture the feeling and scale of PS1/PS2 worlds. But what they fill that world with, the Ubisoft side stuff is....obxnious and pretty archaic. There's so much of it, it really feels like it makes up most of the game. The stuff you're actually here for being few and far between. That said, I loved Yuffie's energy and playing as her.
Rise of The Ronin-A good game, at 80 hours though maybe too long. In a way it feels like a soulsbourne mixed with Batman Arkham. An emphasis on countering/parrying as you clash rhythmically with other blade users. It's fun and very engaging, but once you find what you like you kind of just stay with it and progression dosen't keep up. That said, I really enjoyed it. The story was interesting and the characters fascinating as they are based on real people. It's obviously not 1:1 history with the game sometimes breaking it's realism. That said it for sure made me interested in Japanese history.
