I’m playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I just entered the Shinra building. It’s a wonderful piece of environmental design. You can’t help but pause to take in the sterile, corporate architecture and eery, futuristic music.
Then Tifa falls off a lamp and you have to do a monkey bar puzzle. It’s not a bad monkey bar puzzle, but it’s not especially engaging, so you’re kind of itching to get it over with and get back to “the real game”. Did Tifa really have to fall? Was walking through the cool corporate lobby not enough?
That’s my review of Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
