DUUDEEEEE!! I was not expecting the pilot to be that good, but it completely blew me away. Last of Us is my favourite video game story so I had my doubts honestly. But I am astonished and very excited for what is to come in the following weeks. I hear it only gets better!

Simply put, the best adaptation of a game ever.

Starts off slow, but it turns into a fantastic and creative show around the bend. Great show to kick off MCU in 2021. I was drawn in by the backstory and lore of Wanda, as well as surprising twists here and there along with some easter eggs to the future of MCU.

Honestly the most interesting show at the moment, and hands down the best Superhero show. There is just too much features to grasp your attention and every character is worth getting to know.

8/10 Solid game. It adds some unique features to the RPG genre, specifically the guiding wind mechanic, and the cinematography at times is top notch, the game honours the historic Japanese culture well I feel. The combat and the main story were decent, I feel it carries the game overall for me along with the main side missions and the exploration activities. This game contains some very powerful and moving moments as well. I will say though after doing side missions and finding shrines/fox dens/hot springs for like the first 10 hours or so, it got rather repetitive and to the point I wasn't enjoying the game as much, the story missions got me back to enjoying it. Another issue I had was pacing at times, particularly after completing a mission, you'd be forced to watch your level go up and see what rewards you've gotten before you're able to play again, same with saving a village, be forced to go through 2/3 shots of the village at peace. Also you're not able to skip cutscenes for those dull moments, that occurs more often for side missions. It was frustrating after a while. Also on hard difficulty, the combat is really easy in my opinion. It was very similar to Days Gone in terms of polish for a Playstation Exclusive, though I enjoyed the side activities in that game much more than this one. Regardless, another win for Sony fans I'd say.

That ending completely changes things and has left me conflicted. If not for that ending, we'd see a familiar FF7 game that would have definitely got a lot of praise I feel. I'm still eager for the rest of the game, going into it open minded. But same time I'm guttered that Nomura used this beloved franchise to promote more of his convoluted storytelling. Letting fans believe they were getting the FF7 they always wanted, leading us on for the majority of the game to make us think we had it, then he takes it all away at the end. Overall however, flaws aside the game does magnificent. I feel as though the majority of the game will appeal more to big fans of the original game, but the ending will be more disappointing. Nostalgia is strong with this game. Seeing the beloved characters we grew up with in the recreated city of Midgar. It's truely a sight I never thought I'd see. The character development was very well done as well, and had iconic scenes from the original with a few minor welcome changes. Music is outstanding! And perhaps the best combat I've seen in a Final Fantasy game. It's these reasons I can't give it a low score no matter how much the ending disappointed me. 8.5/10

Best Visual Novel game I've played for sure above Zero Escape series and Danganronpa. It's such a fun experience in the English Dubbed version, great music, great voice acting, quirky dialogue, and fascinating plot.

Definitely do not listen to IGN's poorly made review for this game. The game is tons of fun with a good story, containing powerful moments where voice acting really comes to life. The first several hours I admit there is little sense of direction for the plot, but if you can keep continuing, you'll reach the high points of the game.

Film of the year 2018 for me. Hands down. Expectations of this will be surpassed. Well done Sony
