This. I hated the combat, the side quests were boring, but above all I hated the story changes, Jessie, the bike guy, the fates, the awful ending, it was all just bollocks in the end.FF7 remake was just a slog and I hated the combat so that. I did try a few really dull indie games on gamepass but I didn't see them through to the bitter end like I did with ff7.
To be fair though I had a great run of fantastic games this year so it's just FFVIIR by default. It's not terrible, just mediocre for my taste.
