While it's not the same singular masterpiece as the original Final Fantasy VII, it carries the torch of going insanely hard and it's a very strong start to the new trilogy. Even before the fun INTERmission DLC, there's still unmistakably $70 worth of a great game here. There are some parts with awkward pacing and the PC port isn't perfect but it runs better than most AAA games on Steam Deck and it's impressive how the developers were able to master Unreal Engine to perfectly capture the look and feel of a modern FFVII. Big thumbs up. FFVII Rebirth on Steam when?!?!
