FINAL FANTASY® XIII

Honestly, 30 hours in and I can safely say FF13 is just bad. Way too long for such a linear, repetitive game. Unbalanced bosses completely ruin the combat, and the story is just plain boring. Most of the characters are cringe—Lightning and Fang are the only decent ones, couldn't care less about the rest. Chapter 10 is easily the absolute worst part, terrible level design and boring fights. The only good things are the world design and the soundtrack

7/10

One of my favourite games in the FF series. Plays great on PC or Steam Deck, but only complaint is there's no quit game option, so you have to alt-tab out to stop the game.

Just watch the cutscenes on youtube. The gameplay is some of the most awful ♥♥♥♥ I've ever seen. How did they come to this when FFX had such an amazing combat system? Actually mind-boggling. There's 2 modes in which you play this game: 1) brainlessly spam auto-ability with some random jobs on the team and bruteforce most encounters 2) strategy 1 didn't work because the enemy has a gimmick so now you gotta retry with different jobs assigned, now you can get back to brainlessly spamming auto-ability :) Taking more than half a second to think about what you want to do in a fight (i.e. not spamming auto-ability), means you're wasting your ATB, while the mob keeps attacking you. Genuinely awful game design. The above gameplay issues are made even worse with how janky this game's menus and systems are. I wouldn't mind changing my strategies for a specific mob that kicked my ass if it wasn't such a pain to do so. Also, it took more than 3 hours to get access to basic features like multiple jobs and actual character progression where you spend points for stats/skills...????? Why? The intro is just unnecessarily drawn out thanks to wayy too many enemies and wayyyyyy too big dungeons. What for? You can't even spend points to learn stuff to make the "gameplay" a bit more interesting. It's just 3+ hours of mashing auto-ability with no payoff. It's too bad, because I really liked the story, but playing this game is a miserable experience

Che dire, giocato ai tempi su PS3 e ho voluto rifarmi una bella maratona di tutti i FF. La storia è molto bella, non c'è nulla da dire, la scena finale mi fa sempre commuovere. Il problema è quanto non si siano impegnati a rimodellarlo per portarlo su PC e i crash continui lo rendono frustrante ed è un peccato. Il Gameplay, e anche il semplice correre e camminare, saltare e cose basic sono estremamente macchinose. Insomma, soffrirete per giocarlo, ma consiglio di farlo. Non sarà il Final Fantasy della vostra vita, ma storia parlando, è un bel FInal Fantasy.
