Tried to launch the game for 2h, no success, loading times 3-4 mins to get to the main menu, then new game get's stuck on the intro video. I'm running on linux, this game was supposed to run flawlessly on linux, I also have a 6950xt and I'm running the game from an SSD so yeah, the developers screwed things up big time. I ended up refunding it

The game is great and a lot of fun, but it has some serious optimization issues, I'm on linux using a 6950XT and a 13700k cpu, so my system should be alright. But after playing for a few hours the game got noticeably slower, very stuttery, i don't know why that happened after a while, the only way to fix this is to completely turn of the shadows but taht makes the game look very flat, any shadow settings will cause the FPS drop, if i turn them off, it runs smooth again.

Fun challenging game, perfect to play with friends

10/10

It was a pillow hard to swallow. Damn I finished because FFVII was my childhood game for the rest of my life. This remake + rebirth has been a mixed bag of weird stuff, its a decent game, but its not top notch, its overly complicated with the story line, which is not adding any real depth or engage necessarily more with the main or original story. Also combats feel extremely slow, i started with Dynamic to go for the challenge, ended up in easy after 40h because it was unbearable, 40min for a boss? repeating the same over and over, and if you fail, do it again, no way, making things longer for the sake of it doesn't make it more funny or valuable. Also mini games... common complaint, but people complains for a reason, they're shoved into your face, and they are SLOW and not fun or hilarious or anything. The "openworld" aspect of it is the worst part for me, the most disengaging of them all, Chadley, tick boxes of tasks to do, or TASKS LEFT UNDONE, that might not seem like a big deal but for many people is a big deal, i started losing interest and getting frustrated and overwhelmed after leaving the 1rst main area and seeing that the entire game would follow the same pattern... and it delivered man.. copy paste mechanics all over the entire freaking game. 100h of repeating the same, if you want to be completionist 250h... I'm sorry but that's not game development, it's pure BLOAT. The Story line is good in general but weird at some points and extremely weird at the end making it bad overall, unfortunately because it had good depth in that sense, and the acting and the visuals are stunning but you need a better script to make it work, no Leonardo Dicaprio is gonna save a bad script unfortunately.

It sits between a 2 or 3 and a 6 or 7 depending on the aspect and what part of the game. It would have been healthy for them to see Clair Obscure and take note before this was released honestly. That game delivers 100h of pure joy for every single freaking minute, more cohesive, no bloat, story is very interesting and develops amazingly well, well written, taste... what can I say, after that experience FF VII Rebirth felt quite empty.

Don't get me wrong i liked things but they are more on the story side, and I don't want to do spoilers. Such a weird experience personally I'm honestly not looking forward for the 3rd part....

Oh I'd like to add a comment about the music, it has the same problem of the overall game, its phenomenal but its so good and so complex and changes so much and its so dynamic that you lose the melodies, its crazy is like the game as ADHD with the music, if you pay attention to it you can go a little bit nuts. specially by the end game. I'd rather have my OLD CLASSIC THEME orchestrated and sounding good that 340123419 bzlions of variations hearing 2 bars of a melody then another then another then it mixes with the flute, then idk man after you close the game you can't recall ♥♥♥♥ about the music of this game.

10/10
you can feel a void when you finish it, spectacular, THE GAME not of the year but of the DECADE.

I don't know how he did that, but it's mindblowing how much time this game sucks out of you without even noticing! And its fun!! damn

Sure looks crazy bananas, but I can't play it, 6950XT, it feels like its the worst graphics card, poorly optimized, needs work, I understand its a community driven project, but I don't get the point of creating all this just for people with 2000$ graphics cards.

3 Years next July and it is still beta, alpha, pre-early everything… not worth it… Make something playable and upgrade it later lol… This ain't going anywhere.
