‘Another game boosted by the gaming media. The positive user reviews still far outweigh the negative ones (2,453 compared to 647), but a quick scour through them shows many haven’t exactly been made in good faith.įinal Fantasy 16 is a sore point for some long-time Final Fantasy fans who aren’t thrilled with its darker tone and shift to real-time action, which is reflected in some of the reviews.Īny valid negative reviews there are, though, are unfortunately drowned out by general complaints about what it doesn’t do compared to previous Final Fantasy titles, as well as it being too easy and accusations of gaming media bias. It’ll be interesting to see how Square Enix publicly responds to Final Fantasy 16’s sales as it was claimed that the company wasn’t happy with the pre-order numbers, which were also reportedly lower than Final Fantasy 15’s.Īlthough it’s only the 22nd highest release of the year in terms of positive Metacritic scores from critics the game is already being review bombed when it comes to user reviews Metacritic. It sits behind Resident Evil 4, Star Wars, Hogwarts and Zelda in terms of week 1 boxed sales.- Christopher Dring June 25, 2023 Final Fantasy 16âs UK physical launch was bigger than Diablo 4âs and Dead Island 2âs, so I really wouldnât conclude anything from the boxed figures.
