20 Awesome PS4 Exclusives You Need To Play Before PS5
8. Final Fantasy VII Remake
You've got to admit it, we never thought this game would happen.
After years and years of teases and rumours (not helped by Square Enix making a tech demo of Final Fantasy VII for the PS3), at E3 2015, Square Enix finally revealed that the Final Fantasy VII Remake project was real.
Amazingly, in 2020, we sit in a time when the first title in this project - which has been split into multiple, 40+ hour epics - has actually released. Even more shockingly, it was excellent!
It was a tall order for Squeenix. Final Fantasy VII is one of the most beloved games in history, and taking it on and modernising it was a huge gamble. Thankfully, it paid off - Final Fantasy VII Remake is one of the best RPGs Square Enix has created in years, and it's an absolute thrill as a fan of the original to see this world and these characters recreated in such stunning detail.
Everything about it is a loveletter to the original - from little touches like materia appearing in weapons to Barret humming the victory fanfare under his breath, there's just so, so much to love here.
You absolutely owe it to yourself to play this.
