DO NOT BUY Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade - VERY disappointing

Testing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Steam Deck, he praises its graphics but says the remake loses Final Fantasy’s original charm. He criticizes repetitive traversal and excessive cutscenes, calling combat easy, button-mashing, and an awkward hybrid of action and turn-based systems. He rejects the preachy environmental story, stereotypical characters, cheesy dialogue, and £59 sale price, rating it 4.2/10 and not recommending it.

Recent Steam Deck excitement reverses into severe game-specific disappointment; hardware versatility cannot compensate for weak software.
