    A complete package, with all DLC packed in, Final Fantasy XVI Complete Edition lives up to its name. The performance on a wide variety of hardware speaks to a lot of optimization work, and mods make the skies the limit. This is the ultimate way to experience this fantastic entry to the series.

    Final Fantasy XVI from Square Enix is a marvelous experience that brings strong characters, a passionate and fiery revenge-driven story, and simplistic action that is just as easy to pick up and go. It’s one of the best Final Fantasy games in the series, and certainly a solid option for PC gamers.

    While not everyone agrees that Final Fantasy XVI is the best entry in the series, it was certainly one of the standout games of 2023. With its absorbing narrative, memorable characters, great acting, and engaging real-time action combat, Final Fantasy XVI brings to the PC a thrilling experience that does nothing but improve an already stellar game.

    A fun action RPG and a good introduction to Final Fantasy, just as long as you have a beefy system to run it.

    Giving a judgment on the PC version of Final Fantasy XVI is complicated: on one hand, we confirm the impressions provided in the review of the PlayStation 5 version, but on the other hand, one cannot ignore a conversion that (at least until the release of patches) does not convince due to the excessive hardware requirements.

    The PC version of Final Fantasy XVI is very demanding, with mid-range computers being the worst affected. But if you have a PC with high specs, this is without a doubt the best way to play Square Enix's action title.

    Final Fantasy XVI on PC comes with many improvements compared to the original version. However, this performance issue makes the experience disappointing, especially for those who do not know how to manually adjust the graphic settings. DLSS is useless because it's hard to achieve a stable 60 FPS. The original game is really good, but the experience on PC change your mind. Playing with a mouse and keyboard can be a challenge during the first few hours.
