PC gamers will finally get a chance to play each of these Final Fantasy games early this year. Final Fantasy 15, first released on consoles in 2016 to fairly good reviews after a decade in development, is a story-driven but open-world RPG set in an alternate modern-day world. The PC release includes all of the DLC, an all-new first-person mode, and stunning graphics (extending up to 8K resolution)—though if you are planning on playing in HDR at higher resolutions, expect to need over 150GB of free hard drive space. Zodiac Age, meanwhile, is a new PC port of last year's PS4 remaster of the terrific 2006 PS2 game Final Fantasy XII. The PC version runs at a boosted 60 fps.
