Final Fantasy 16 Review

EDITORS' CHOICE
Review scoring
amazing
Featuring fast, reflex driven, action heavy combat, Final Fantasy 16 is certainly a departure from what fans may expect out of a Final Fantasy game, but its excellent story, characters, and world building are right up there with the best the series has to offer, and the innovative Active Time Lore feature should set a new standard for how lengthy, story-heavy games keep players invested in its world.

Summary

An epic 16th chapter of the RPG franchise, Final Fantasy XVI brings players into a world where Eikons are powerful and deadly creatures that reside within Dominants -- a single man or woman who is blessed with the ability to call upon their dreaded power.
