The top of the heap for me. This is where the final fantasy series peaked, with a focus on the cast of characters and their development during the course of the game, this tackles deeper themes in an undeniably charming setting.

A great start, but a slog to get through nowadays. Busted and broken but with so much charm you can't help but love it.

Absolute masterpiece

Will absolutely be picking this up again to finish. Great humour, fantastic pixel art and quickly became a cosy game to settle into on a regular basis. Looking forward to giving the Dredge DLC a go.

Most consistent boss fights in the trilogy, and combat flows beautifully. The lore is an utter mess, however, and some of the call backs feel very cheap.

This is my favourite Dark Souls, which is probably a volcanic take at this stage. Atmosphere for days, and more build variety than other games in the trilogy, this is just the one I keep coming back to.

Magnificent game. The remaster maybe leaves a bit to be desired, but I missed out on the original experience. World design is flawless, and the influence on the games industry cannot be understated.

An aggressively average JRPG. I missed the boat when this was first released, and when I was first digging into classic JRPG's, so I was excited to get stuck in when this "remaster" came out. It doesn't hold up very well at all, however, and the obsession with characters like Geno baffle me. I'm just glad this was a fairly quick affair. Music is fantastic, and the story is genuinely quite funny in spots, but the back half felt like an absolute slog.

Absolutely brilliant when playing with a group of friends. We went into Valheim blind and have loved stumbling into everything. The final stretch to the boss became a bit of a grind due to exceptionally bad luck with finding a location rune, but the final fight felt like a fitting climax for a journey that's consumed all of us for a good few weeks.
