2. This Is... Hard?

It's going to catch a lot of players off guard, but the Final Fantasy VII Remake is surprisingly challenging.

It's not Sekiro, it's not Dark Souls, but both those games were mentioned by people attempting to master the combat during our playthrough. The bosses we faced handed more than one seasoned journalist a game over screen, and even the generic encounter enemies required a degree of thought and strategy to get passed.

The original game was always so much more about the story than it was the actual gameplay, and only a handful of bosses (not looking forward to Demon Wall in this remake) posed any major threat to players. Gaming tastes have changed in the last two decades though, and very few of us want to waltz through a story without being tested on the way.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake will, categorically, test you.
