Final Fantasy VII
I recently acquired one of the most advanced pieces of modern gaming technology[1], and what was the first thing I did with it? Play a nearly 30-year old game. Hell yeah.
Much like with Shōgun, I don't have the depth of understanding, nor the force of will, to commit myself to having useful, novel thoughts about the game that defined a generation. But again, like Shōgun, I can simply strongly recommend Final Fantasy VII.
Personally, I've been playing through the original in preparation for the current-generation remakes. Games that I think might define this generation, if the general sentiment around Rebirth is anything to go by.
What an experience it must have been to play this game in your formative years. I was barely crawling in 1997, so I never had that experience, but I can confirm that there is something special here that far exceeds nostalgia.
You're damn right it's a Steam Deck. I’m one of those guys now. ↩︎
