“Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s dull filler and convoluted additions can cause it to stumble, but it still breathes exciting new life into a classic while standing as a great RPG all its own.”

Final Fantasy VII Remake excels in narrative, voice acting, and music, but suffers from clunky combat, linear level design, and repetitive gameplay. The game delivers a strong story experience but falls short in providing engaging and varied gameplay mechanics.
