It's Kinda Nice That Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Isn't Trying To Reinvent Open-World Games

Last year, I played over 100 hours ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The year before, I put about 70 hours intoElden Ring. Both of those games were terrific, the kind of open-world game that other developers will be looking at for years and learning from. These were games with the potential to alter the fundamental shape of the genre. This year’s big new open-world game,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, isn’t....

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Could Finally Let Lumiose Shine

I wrote recently that I was vaguely confused aboutPokemon’sdecision to set a Legends game (in my mind, a game defined by open exploration of expansive spaces),entirely within a single city. Not just any city either, but one as populated, centralised, and modern as Paris, which is what Kalos' Lumiose is directly based off. However, this was not due to any particular problem with Lumiose. On the contrary, it’sone of my favourite Pokemon settings, and I consider it to be vastly underrated....
