it plat'd it on PS4 earlier this year, it was definitely a weird game. By no means the worst, there are a million horrible games (hi2u Anthem, Mass Effect Andromeda, Fallout 76) that are total wastes of time.
FFXV's biggest problem is the first 4-5 hours are decent, then pretty much the rest of the game is boring and silly and nonsense with one "level" being absolute hot garbage (the "run around in the dark, lost, can't use weapons" stuff), then the last hour or so is decent. Similar to Kingdom Hearts 3 I don't really understand the story of FF15 and weirdly all the "good" bits happen off screen and you are just told what happened. Its bizarre.
Just running around in an open world thats a mix of Final Fantasy and weird western RPG was cool and relaxing, and hanging out with 3 best bros fishing and camping and hunting was fun.
