The only entry into this long winded series that I have truly liked and completed, it is a fantastic treat for anyone who sticks it in their console.

The vanilla version of Final Fantasy XV was released back in 2016 to some immensely high praise. Our own Michael Chow gave it a score of 90 praising it for its character depth, overhauled formula, battle system, and breathtaking visuals. You can read the full review here .

Answers some lingering questions about the lore; Connects the DLC to the core story; Fun new/different ways to play the game; New bosses and quests are challenging; New cutscenes; Great for those looking for more challenges

Price is a bit steep; Deciding what to buy can be a headache; Not the complete edition as more content is set to be released

George Orwell, the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, is the sort of writer whose work is unlikely to ever feel irrelevant or unimportant. Although his writing is only explicitly mentioned a few times in Orwell, the game questions modern surveillance techniques and the security of...

Convincing characters and plot; Thrilling "aha" moments; Impactful choices and discoveries; Your job hits the right note between feeling important and hugely invasive

Some rules feel arbitrary; A few glitches and crashes require rebooting the game; Text logs of phone conversations feel unnatural

In Final Fantasy XV, previously known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the armed forces of Niflheim launch a devastating assault upon the Kingdom of Lucis, casting Crown Prince Noctis and his comrades out of their homes and into the fray.

The open-world design of the first half of the game, with its myriad quests and details, shines brilliantly and hearkens back Final Fantasy's golden days. However, the linear second half lacks the optional content that makes the first part genuinely fun to play through.

A large open-world environment that's filled with iconic monsters to hunt and quests to undertake; Excellent soundtrack, visuals, and attention to detail; Simple, but enjoyable, combat system

Sloppy, poorly paced story; Horrible camera work; Linear second half and bizarre gameplay changes make finishing the game a chore

The story of Final Fantasy XV is basically just a road trip between four friends. A young prince named Noctis heads out with his three pals and guardians to meet with and marry his betrothed in a move that will unite long warring kingdoms, bringing peace and prosperity to the land.

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Destined to be as divisive as all modern Final Fantasy games, but it's the story and characters that disappoint more than the capable combat and exploration.

A huge amount to see and do, with lots of interesting side quests and secrets; Solid combat system that creates an enjoyable mix of new and old influences; Some great art design

The storytelling is weak, and the characters difficult to like; Poor script and voiceovers; Unsatisfying magic and summons system; Unreliable camera and lock-on

Baz hits the road in Final Fantasy XV, the long, long-awaited next core entry in the revered series.

The group's dynamic is great; As always, FF's world design is top notch; Beautiful scenery; Link attacks are satisfying

The English voice performances are dire; It relies on external media to tell its story; UI issues; Boring side quests; Combat instability

While not terrible, Episode Gladiolus is shallow experience that can be beaten in under 2 hours, easy. The few crumbs you get on characterization and the one or two fights that are interesting, aren't enough to save the episode.
