Final Fantasy 16 review, hard to adore

As in many Final Fantasies, this world’s apocalypse is entangled with a goofy rendition of systematic injustice. Also as in many Final Fantasies, there’s a larger, metaphysical menace waiting in the wings. His role in the drama is to clobber things very hard so that plot can happen. It’s essentially a more forgiving Devil May Cry, carried out in the same environments as exploration. One, thunder-themed set lets you paint targets with electric orbs that detonate and chain together when struck....

Final Fantasy 16: as close to flawless as we've seen in a long time

A highly polished launch experience - but performance mode needs improvement. Unlike most long-running series, each mainline Final Fantasy entry is unique, and FF16 is no different. This new game features exceptionally detailed and expressive character models, packed to the brim with micro-details. Face textures feel reasonably realistic and stand out in scenes where dynamic lights dance naturally across their surfaces. This allows for the natural interplay of light and shadow, elevating the presentation....

Park Beyond review

It’s charmingly gaudy, and gives every ride a strong and themed identity. Amazement (which comes from visitors going on amazing rides) is the currency used to impossify things. The first clue was when I built an absolute showstopper of a rollercoaster. It was the most amazing, most fun, and yes, most profitable ride in the park. They didn’t go on it, or even think about it. This would make them unbearably unhappy, and they would leave....

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life review

The first game whose release I ever truly counted down the days to wasHarvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. First, you probably noticed that the game series' name changed during those previous paragraphs. Others, like Matthew (formerly called Marlin), have had their appearance redesigned as well. While their personalities do mostly remain intact, there is one character rework which does stand out. Alongside these new character designs, it’s also easier to build friendships in the remake....

Street Fighter 6's PC port is competent but lacking in ambition

A ringer for the console experience - but is that enough? Street Fighter 6on PC is OK. With a modicum of effort, it’s easy to get a flowing, stutter-free, performant experience. It’s an interesting idea. Once you do get access to the menus, there’s good news and bad news. Another issue with the PC version is that it does not scale high enough with its textures. Beyond textures, other visuals are scarcely different compared to the PS5 version....
