Final Fantasy XVI garners positive reviews from Steam users

Final Fantasy 16 has got off to a great start on PC. The game has launched to a very positive reception from Steam gamers and has even risen up to be the fourth most concurrently played game in Square Enix's catalogue on Steam, beating out the likes of Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Nier Automata. 

With around 3,500 user reviews on Steam so far, Final Fantasy 16 has achieved a Mostly Positive rating, with fans praising the game's visuals and combat. It seems Square Enix's decision to hire the combat designer behind Devil May Cry 5 was a very wise choice, with Final Fantasy 16 offering action-oriented combat at a level far above what was offered in Final Fantasy 15 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

While the concurrent player numbers won't set any major records, Final Fantasy 16 is the fourth most concurrently played game from Square Enix on Steam at this point in time, with over 27,508 players at peak times.

The only Square Enix published games that sit above Final Fantasy 16 in peak player count are Nier Replicant, Final Fantasy 15 and naturally, Final Fantasy 14, which is an MMO played by millions worldwide.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
