📺 Star Wars Jedi Survivor's Stellar Performance

Shifting our attention to the vast universe of Star Wars, the latest performance patch for 'Star Wars Jedi Survivor' has recently been launched.

📺 Final Fantasy 16: A Mixed Bag?

The gaming world was recently taken aback as the stock value of Square Enix plummeted by more than 30% in the wake of 'Final Fantasy 16's' release. Speculations, discussions, and analysis on the potential reasons for this decline are rife. A comprehensive report by Bloomberg features candid interviews with both former and present Square Enix staff members, shedding light on possible internal management challenges at Square Enix.


Donning my gamer hat - having played 'Final Fantasy 16' and secured the coveted Platinum Trophy - I found the combat mechanics thoroughly enjoyable. However, the narrative did feel somewhat lacklustre. My fingers are crossed, hoping that the much-anticipated 'Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth' brings some redemption and helps buoy the stock price. But gaming is, after all, a subjective experience. What were your impressions of 'Final Fantasy 16'?
