rynlingI downloaded Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade onto my Steam Deck, and I've really been enjoying it.
I think the problem I had with this game when I first tried to play it on PS4 was that I was taking its story too seriously and trying too hard to engage with its gameplay systems. What you really need to do with this game is accept it for what it is and let it wash over you. Most of the early chapters are interactive cutscenes, and that's okay. FFVII Remake only becomes an actual game about ten hours in (when you get to the Sector 5 Slums), and it's only at that point that the combat system becomes more than just mashing buttons.
My thoughts aren't complicated. Essentially, the shiny character action game that everyone says is fun is indeed shiny and fun. 10/10, no notes.
