I’ll be trustworthy, I used to be slightly stunned by this one. In a yr the place everybody – the GAMINGbible workforce included – is fawning over Astro Bot, I actually thought the PlayStation-exclusive platformer would clear up.
It’s fairly good, then, to see our readers go a barely completely different route and decide Final Fantasy VII Rebirth; a recreation that is greater than deserving of the last word accolade.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a completely gorgeous piece of labor, providing up a stunning sandbox for us to play in and grounding it with one of the genuinely likeable casts in any RPG ever. Yes, there’s open-world busywork, however it feels loads much less like a chore if you merely get to spend extra time hanging out with Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and the gang.
Throw in some really wonderful fight, terrifyingly big boss battles, and top-of-the-line minigames of all time in Queen’s Blood, and you’ve got a really worthy Game Of The Year winner.
