The darkest Final Fantasy yet is a massive, cinematic adventure that shouldn't be missed. Final Fantasy XVIdigs deep into its roots and comes away with a new twist on the series with a dark fantasy. Journey to the continent of Valisthea and take on the role of Clive Rosfield, who finds his kingdom destroyed, his brother Joshua missing, and a mysterious drought known as Blight taking over the land. This gritty twist on the normally plucky series is a stark departure, but an excellent one that fans won't want to pass up, especially at this price.

Why we like it
This Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Doortakes the 2004 GameCube cult classic and gives it a fresh coat of paint for a new generation of players. It includes updated graphics and animation, music, and additional quality of life changes to help keep it in line with modern releases, as well as a new fast travel system and additional boss encounters. Meanwhile, the story is still the same: Mario and Princess Peach find themselves searching for a lost treasure and Peach is kidnapped (surprise). Mario has to set off on a journey to save Peach from aliens called X-Nauts while seeking out a piece of that treasure, too. If you loved it back on the GameCube, it's even better now. If this is your first time, you'll have a blast.
