Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XV is the latest installment of the main Final Fantasy franchise. In this game, you get to play as Crown Prince Noctis as he embarks on a road trip across gorgeous landscapes and bustling towns in the fictional world of Eos to reclaim his homeland from the grasps of an eternal foe. With a group of colorful characters-slash-friends in a pretty cool- yet expensive-looking car, you'll get to explore every inch of the incredible open world. But of course, you can also alight from the vehicle to walk instead. Similar to previous games, Final Fantasy XV features thrilling, action-based combat that allows you to channel the power of your ancestors as you hack and slash your way through throngs of enemies with your companions by your side. There are also magic and team-based attacks that you can employ in your battles.The game has a rather differnent feel and tone to it this time around, but it still retains the epic-ness that makes it a worthy sequel in the Final Fantasy franchise. The game is currently available on consoles, but for PC gamers, you might still need to wait a while before you can get it on Steam.
Persona 5
Persona 5 is a pretty unique RPG that is based on the thought-provoking, Jungian concept of "self" where people are forced to wear masks to protect their inner self in order to feel some twisted sort of belonging in the current society. Apparently, the protagonist which you will be playing, along with your group of high school classmates/companions, realized that they have the ability to enter people's hearts, help them rip off their masks and confront their vulnerabilities to awaken their inner power which can then be used for the greater good. Dubbed as the Phantom Thieves, these students aim to change the world to their perception and to remove the masks that modern society wears.Persona 5 is the sort of adventure-RPG that seems to be able to really dig into the recesses of your mind and makes you really think about what's really going on in the society today. This is the type of games the modern people need and if you'd like to go on thought-provoking journey, this is definitely the type of game to play.
