I'm sure some of you (most of you?) have had those moments where your hobby isn't doing it for you. You are either sick of playing games for a few months / years or no game really clicks to the point you want to go back and play it when you can't do that. This is still your hobby but that doesn't mean you're always on a high playing all these games coming out.
Right now i'm going through a "I love videogames all over again. This is why i started playing them in the first place" moment like i didn't have in years and it came from an IP that i always liked...but hasn't grabbed me for some entries:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
I bought it on preorder over a year ago. If i'm doing this topic right now it means i didn't have many hopes for it and only started playing it like 2 weeks ago...but holy shit?
I heard some criticism because of all the minigames, etc...but this such a huge step up from the original i don't even know where to start. From voice acting, the open world sections done right (instead of like Ubisoft-type games), etc. The graphic upgrade alone is something. I'm playing on PS5 Pro btw...so 60fps upscaled and it melts your eyes. Gameplay loop is addictive as hell as well. Soundtrack is honestly impressive. There are moment i just stay put listening to some kick ass track that's playing which rarely happens nowadays for me. It's actually satisfying to be with these characters again, and be a part of this world.
There's so much to do but it never feels overwhelming.
I'm now on chapter 8 and loving this shit! Th production values alone are through the roof. The game feels expensive, if you know what i mean. But expensive done right at least.
When was the last time this has happened to you? And what was the game?
