by SmashPad Staff4. Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)
“One of the most anticipated games in years, FFVII Remake reintroduced the story many claim is the best Final Fantasy game of all time. The story detour from the original PS1 plot was an unique approach, but the wide cast of memorable characters helps make this adventure both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. An improved combat system, item management and modern-day visuals helped make this one of the better remakes, and overall games, of the year.” – Josh Schwartzman, Staff Writer
