There a lot of things to like about the combat and world building, but I can't get over how disrespectful this game is of your time. Everything is incredibly drawn out. The amount of scenes where you have to walk slowly, crawl, or turn some valve in slow motion is incredibly painful.

After 51/61 achievements I decided i had done enough. This game is a long ride if you're going to hundred percent it so be ready to sink a good 200/250+ hours into it. Overall the remake series though has been fantastic all of the visual, musical, and line work was fantastic for the games first overarching darker theme compared to the first installment. The game hits amazing highs with its main story-line keeping faithful to a-lot of the original while adding its own flourishes. My ONLY complaint though is that to 100% the game there are mini games, god so damn many mini-games that will eventually make you feel like its a time waster sim more than the average rpg and some of them are so ungodly hard (like 100% perfect noting all piano score sheets) and after they go for the 4th time in the last two chapters (HEY YOU WANNA DO A FOURTH ROUND OF ALL THAT CRAP YOU JUST DID 3 TIMES UP TO THIS POINT WHEN WE COULD OF LET YOU DO IT ALL AT ONCE AND BE DONE WITH IT) It really gets you burnt out. If your a casual player stick to the main storyline its amazing and the combat system really shines in this one but if you are a RPG 100% runner then be prepared I think this title would burn out seasoned rpg players even.

Too long. To many sections where they intentionally slow a player down to waste a persons time. For example many puzzle slow your walk speed down to snails pace. For no other reason. We know what these characters can do.
