Final Fantasy VII and its various spin-offs and extended media have gotten difficult to keep track of over the years. These days, each numbered Final Fantasy seems like an extended universe in its own right. Final Fantasy XV got a whole movie and anime mini-series before it was even out, both of which factored heavily into the main story. Final Fantasy 7 wasn’t like that when it originally came out in 1997, but it became an extended universe with multiple spin-off games, a movie, and now a Remake trilogy that factors those stories into the plot in significant ways. That is true of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which is launching on February 29. There’s a spin-off you probably didn’t play that you should brush up on before diving in: Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier and its Ever Crisis chapters. – Kenneth Shepard Read More
Third-person co-op shooter Helldivers 2 not only wants you to spread democracy across the galaxy, it also wants you to protect it.

In Helldivers 2, the third-person cooperative shooter that’s surging in popularity across PC and PS5, you’re only as good as the tools you can take with you into battle. While you’ll be outfitted with a primary and secondary weapon, as well as grenades and stims for each deployment, you’ll also get access to Stratagems, a variety of gear you can call in with a handful of directional buttons. – Claire Jackson Read More
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has finally arrived. The second installment of Square Enix’s attempt to remake one of the most celebrated video games of all time is here for PlayStation 5. The massive RPG offers damn near close to (if not more) than 100 hours of gameplay. Now you might be asking yourself: Do I race to the end and mop up the side stuff later? Or do I do every possible side quest and random activity to avoid not missing out? – Claire Jackson Read More
