In many ways, it’s sort of hard to believe that Final Fantasy 7 Remake is six years old. I don’t mean that in terms of how ahead-of-the-game it was, either – it’s sort of the opposite. This is a recent game that, on replay, feels like a curious time capsule, a slice of game design that has become far less common since its release. Mercifully, no matter how aged it might feel in places, it’s still a most enjoyable and easy-to-recommend experience.
It’s great to see that Final Fantasy 7 Remake still holds up on newer platforms like Xbox and Switch 2. It’s impressive how a game can continue to resonate with players even after several years. The nostalgia and timelessness of the story truly make it a classic!
