Final Fantasy Tactics aged like wine and the improvements to the story department show love and passion.

A must-buy for those who enjoyed the first episode of the series, although in terms of content the game is pretty poor if compared to Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.

Galaxy on Fire 2 gives a sense of freedom never felt before on the iPhone. Every journey through the stars is simply astonishing, and there are many things that happens while trying to complete any quest.
