games Games review What is it? An enchanting role-playing game (RPG) where players follow the journey of siblings, Reynn and Lann, as they enter the world of Grymoire and encounter a multitude of familiar Final Fantasy characters and monsters in what is essentially a long nostalgic trip. Gameplay: The game combines classic traditional RPG gameplay mechanics, like the turn-based battle system, with modern exploration and mechanics. You can capture and raise familiar Final Fantasy beasts and enemies (such as the Cactuar, Chocobo and Behemoth) to discover alternate forms and learn new abilities. What’s most impressive is that the game is accessible for both old and new fans of the series, and for both adults and children. This is certainly the most ‘fun’ Final Fantasy entry for a while. Graphics: The game has fresh and imaginative toy-like visuals, which were originally meant as a way to appeal to the younger crowd who might not be as familiar with the older games in the series. (The first game was released in 1987, and XV will be out next month.) The vertically arranged world of Grymoire is filled to the brim with pixie-sized NPCs and cuddly, shrink-wrapped versions of Final Fantasy monsters. Silly 2D animation interspersed with quirky CGI-cut scenes are also a welcome bit of fun and add to the overall charm. Dishonored 2 Play as one of two supernatural assassins in a world where mysticism and industry collide. Will you choose to play as Empress Emily Kaldwin or the royal protector, CorvoAttano? Will you make your way through the game unseen, make full use of its brutal combat system, or use a blend of both? The story responds to your choices, leading to intriguing outcomes, as you play through each of the game’s hand-crafted missions. Pokémon Sun and Moon In the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon games, embark on an adventure as a Pokémon Trainer and catch, battle and trade all-new Pokémon on the tropical islands of the Alola Region.
