This game destroyed me in the best way. An absolutely astounding experience, with graphics unlike any other game I've ever played. This game is a sequel in every sense of the word, and it's continuation of the story is done in a way that stays true to the original and expands on it in new and interesting ways. The character work here is even better than the first, and Amicia has become cemented as one of my favourite character of all time. I really really hope there is a continuation, but regardless this has been a great experience that I won't forget.

This game deserves all the praise it gets. For the entirety of its main story runtime, I was hooked. Everything from the immersive world, full of intricate details and well-thought-out locations that never got old to explore. The side-quests that were written just as well as the main quests. The combat system, perfectly capturing how a Witcher would fight, always fluid and fun. After reading the books, seeing those small references and details made me appreciate the game's writing even more. Geralt is an amazing character to follow, along with Yen, Ciri, Dandelion, and more. Every plot point felt earned and impactful, although I feel that the final battle could have had a bit more impact. Overall, this game is a masterclass of writing, character, gameplay and graphics and I'm eager to keep playing to see what else this game has in store.

Truly a one-of-a-kind experience that only a series like Final Fantasy could capture. This game, from start to finish, kept me completely enthralled in everything from the story to the characters to the world to the gameplay. For a 50 hour experience, this is a feat.
First off, the gameplay never got old. Combat was always flashy, smooth and accompanied with the haptic feedback every single encounter was visceral. Some fights with random NPCs looked like CGI cutscenes, thanks to the masterful animations and graphics. The eikon abilities all help to really make you feel powerful, and that's not even talking about the Eikon fights themselves. This game singlehandedly has three of the best boss fights in any game I've ever played. Most games don't even have one to offer and this game has three. I genuinely have no clue how these people even dreamed of these fights, which are on a scale so godly that I found myself gawking more than once. I really really loved the fact that they went full-throttle with the concept of eikons, accurately portraying their scale and destruction in every sequence they are in. Some of these fights HAD to take place in rural areas because if they didn't the whole world would be destroyed. This masterful gameplay in both the normal fights and the eikons were always a highlight.
The world of Valisthea is so in-depth and by it's end, I really feel like I understand this world and it's politics. The political drama was always interesting and mysterious in all the right ways. It's also a beautiful world that changes as the story unfolds and as eikons clash and shake the earth.
The story itself is probably my favorite Final Fantasy story of all time. It's such a beautifully told love letter to humanity, with as much heartfelt moments as there is moments of epic grandiosity. Clive Rosfield is one of my favorite characters of all time, his voice acting was top notch and his arc is so meaningful especially on a replay. That being said, everyone else had superb voice acting and the entire cast of characters helped flesh out the world and it's themes. I also really enjoyed the side quests this game had to offer, whilst Some were filler, others were genuinely enthralling and had something to say about the world of valisthea.
All in all, this game was everything I wanted it to be and more, and I can't wait to revisit this game after some time. Fingers crossed for DLC.

A true journey from beginning to end. Final Fantasy XV excels in character writing and emotional drama that keeps you entertained throughout the game's runtime. Where it lacks in areas such as gameplay, it makes up for it in the rich dialogue between these characters, who genuinely feel like friends. It doesn't take long to become connected to them, and this factor, coupled with interesting politics and worldbuilding, makes for a great package overall. The soundtrack also slaps, and the whole ending portion is one of my favorite video game endings ever. If you have never played a Final Fantasy game before, this is definitely a good place to start.

A game that feels beyond its years. A story that was genuinely intriguing and original, evoking the feeling of participating in a genuine adventure across a whole planet, with intricate characters and a gameplay loop that keeps you invested throughout the game's length. The overall themes of the game have aged very well. The music is mostly superb, aside from the repetitiveness of battle music due to random encounters. Overall, it's an experience that I'm glad to have undertaken because I now see why Final Fantasy VII is held in such high regard; it definitely deserves its place among the greats.
