Bottom Line Up Front (Bluff)
To anyone new to this series.
The events in the remake are totally out of order. The developers approached the remake with the opinion that "Everyone knows the story of FFVII". So when they are showing you a anthropomorphic cat with a Scottish accent and have no idea what is going on, that is why. They are showing people and places and expecting everyone to point at the screen and gasp.
If you are new to the series (and I suspect 70-80% of you are) I suggest you watch a lore video or a play through of the fist game. I am sorry to say it is probably the only way you will understand what the big deal was. It's a hell of a ride and was the fist and only game to put me in a state of shock during key story events.

With that out of the way.
I am elated to see FFVII make a comeback. Untold hours playing the original on Playstation as a teen and the characters are exactly how I imagined them in my head. The waves of nostalgia are as thick as molasses.

But just... wow Square Enix. If I didn't know anything about this game already I would be confused. As it is now I am just irritated.
Pacing. Pacing.
Spectacle is fine, but this is an RPG. Let the story breath.

Gears of war meets knights in space.
Blast your way through waves of sorcerer demons and alien scum. What's not to love?

It truly great to see my childhood brought back. And they tried to stay as true as possible which is great!
A couple knit picks though.
1.) I really wish they did spell things out/talk down to me in this game. For instance. A character will tell you something is 'Over There!" and your screen will lock on and zoom in on it for an extended period. Instead rotating the camera toward it. Or if you don't solve a puzzle in five minutes they just give you the answer. Which is very unsatisfying.
2.) During the plate disaster you are running and hurrying to get to the pillar before it collapses. Only. No you aren't. You are forced to walk through the train yard and Aeris wants to talk to ghosts. Or the game will force you into taking control of Aeris to literally walk through sector 7. Meanwhile. Avalanche is being killed off and they are about to drop a city on people.

The TLDR is that this game great, but WILL NOT let you feel tension or mystery in the story. Everything is either cut away from or solved/explained for you. It really strips the mystery away. LIKE SEEING SEPHEROTH EVERY 5 MINUTES.

Waves of shooty shooty and grim dark.
Some players don't stick with the squad though.

In one word?
Classic.
the long version? It is a simple team based shooter. But don't let that fool you. The game has a bell shaped learning curve. Meaning you will have to work to make the top score in the match. This game is the grandfather of FPS team based combat and REQUIRES that every team member know their role and play the class that is unfilled in order to win. Games like Overwatch were took heavily influence from this game (see Torbjorn) and for good reason. It has a timeless minimal 50's theme and never fails to (for me at least) deliver in high paced, wacky, and challenging game play.
