Blizzard Entertainment has committed every manner of sin with this sequel. There’s minimal additional content, and while the balance changes make the game feel a little better, there’s nothing here I wouldn’t expect from a patch.

With the addition of Final Fantasy’s classic jobs and magic systems, the game has a distinct feel from its inspirations. There’s not much substance here, but demanding boss fights, goofy dialogue and a considerable degree of ability diversity make Final Fantasy Origins dumb fun....

Don’t yet own a PS5? Join the club. Personally, I just like to buy the accessories regardless and include them in any casual selfies I take so that people think I do.
