This game brings my childhood back in the best way, but there are issues.

If you came here for a completely unbias review of Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, I'm afraid you are out of luck. I am too big a fan of Squall and the gang to pretend that I don't have positive feelings going into this.
But you didn't come here for unbiased reviews. Like me, you're probably already a huge fan of the original game, and you want to see if this Remastered version ticks all the boxes you need it to.
The TL;DR is simple; it nearly does, it's so close to being exactly right that it's definitely worth buying and keeping in your collection forever.
