full review at {drewted}.{com} Let me preface this review by saying: I absolutely love the FF7 and its story. The game has insane world building, beautiful and touching character interactions that do not seem like an afterthought. The combat mechanics are fun, with more focus on the new synergy attacks. The various regions are open world and are unbelievably detailed and in theme; the monsters, chocobos design, side quests all have been thought out meticulously and are mostly fun to do. So believe me when i say, I really want to give this game a 5 star. Yet, to do so would be dishonest of me. The game starts really fun - new mechanics are introduced chapter by chapter - and I really did want to complete them all. However, by chapter 7-8, i was starting to get really fatigued by the sheer amount of side content. Some regions (2 in particular, iykyk) are unbelievably hard to navigate, and i had to end up looking for solutions on youtube) Still, this game is definitely awesome and is a very strong recommend to anyone. I ended up ignoring side content from later half of the game, and still had around 85 hours of playtime. Chapter 13 and 14, in particular, were extremely exciting and kept me glued to my PS5. Thanks to SE for this beautiful game!

Season one was really exciting and it set a great foundation for a coherent story. However, Season 2 and 3 really dropped the ball; I got increasingly uninterested with each episode. There were many random and unfinished plot devices thrown into the storyline, making it really hard to follow. I think the show was trying to go for shock value, considering there were many gory scenes. Season 3, in particular, was a chore to finish. I don’t really recommend this kdrama. Or just stop at Season 1.
