Best game of the week
Final Fantasy VI
Square Enix has been busy launchingall-new pixel remastersfor the first six Final Fantasy games, and this week Final Fantasy VI finally made a return to the Play Store. You see, the previous version, one that offered awful art, was delisted back in July when the first pixel remasters started making their way to the Play Store. Well, now that VI is back, it offers all-new pixel graphics that actually fit modern phone screens, no more letterboxing or pillarboxing. Plus, the new pixel graphics look great, especially on OLED screens, with a faithful recreating of the original art. The game pops, though there are some caveats. There’s no controller support, and the price is high, with no guarantee of support. Still, Final Fantasy VI is one of the best JRPGs ever made, and it’s even a blast to play on a touchscreen, especially on tablets. Fullscreen baby!
