VIIR and R2 are a shapeless amalgam of game design from AAA games that came out during the PS4 era, with a sputtering of concepts from popular movies like Endgame and Spiderverse.
If you've never played FFVII you will be missing context for everything that happens in these games.
If you have played FFVII you will be mad at having bought a thing that is titled "REMAKE" and finding out it's a sequel/spin off and not a remake at all.
It's a game for nobody except brain damaged, fluoride stare, head empty normies who simply consume and move on to the next thing.
It's just a cashgrab.
