Cognitive dissonance baby! And I’m right there with you.

I kind of struggle with the constant cut scenes. There are times when the only gameplay is just walking to another room and then another 5min cut scene starts. There was even a point where the cut scene was so long my controller shut off. I often feel like they could have just released it as a TV series instead of a game.

The graphics are great, the fighting animations are awesome, and the times that I do manually control combat it’s super fun. I do agree that it’s not a great game (it might be better if I stopped being lazy and removed the “cheater” rings) but it is a lot of fun to play!

Humanity is great! And very similar idea to lemmings. The puzzles are decently challenging, and some give you that great sense of accomplishment when you have that “ah ha!” moment and figure out the trick.

Been playing FF16. Really been enjoying it! It’s really just a movie or TV series with sporadic combat. But I really enjoy storyline in games more than gameplay most times. I like that they added items to make the combat stupid easy for someone like me that has never been good at doing combo moves. I feel like it might be a bit too easy at times, but still fun. I swore to never buy another FF game after 13, but I’m glad they released a demo so I could see how fun the game would be.
