So i kinda want to buy FFXVI but looking through the opinions and reviews it stands somewhere between the worst final fantasy game ever made and second coming of jesus wit plot ranging from infantile dark fantasy to great story with deep engaging dark themes.

WHICH IS IT?

I loved it. The story is engaging and EXTREMELY well told.

The combat starts barebones and gets more engaging as you unlock more abilities. It stays simplistic enough that you can mix and match to your style, but there are enough different loadouts for you to try different play styles. With ability cool downs, it kind of feels like the ATB system merged into an action game at times.

Side content isn't great and it's pretty easy. Although it's worth it for the narrative additions to the story.

DLC wasn't great. The first one was a missed opportunity for some arena type fights and new dynamic elements. It ends up being uneventful.

The second DLC is better, but they end up making parts of it WAY to hard.
