Everyone is talking aboutDragon’s Dogma 2right now. I didn’t expect it to achieve popularity outside its once niche audience so quickly, flirting with the mainstream in a way you rarely see games like this achieve. But afterBaldur’s Gate 3broke down barriers last year, selling millions of copies along the way, perhaps it was only a matter of time until another game came along to do the same. It is a deep, uncompromising RPG that asks big questions of the player and expects them to go on a long, oftentimes challenging ride, but the final destination is well worth it....

Summary WhenFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwas first confirmed to be an open-world game, fans wondered what form that open world would take. Would it look more like the sprawling nothingness of Final Fantasy 15,would it take inspiration from the sandboxy approach of a Breath of the Wild, or would it be something entirely new? Well, now we have our answer, and while it most certainly does a lot right, I can’t help but feel that it also introduces a number of issues - especially when paired with how the narrative is presented in Rebirth....
