February 17, 2014

Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy XIII-3/JRPG/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Sony/Square Enix

Review by Matt S. There was so much that could have ruined Lightning Returns, but as far as I’m concerned Square Enix absolutely nailed everything that it set out to achieve. Let’s say for the sake of argument that the majority of the concerns with the game, based on previews…
