PS4; Square EnixHailed as one of the greatest games ever, its remake is superbly reimagined without losing the distinctive quality of the original

Modern remakes of classic films inevitably disappoint – but the opposite has tended to be true of video games. The technology behind them improves each year, so at the very least, old games can benefit from having spectacular new visuals applied to them. This remake of 1997’s Final Fantasy VII – often hailed as one of the greatest games ever made – goes way beyond a mere graphical makeover. Nearly a decade in the making, it expands and completely reimagines the original game, but crucially without losing its essence.
