Welcome back, gamers! Possibly a little late, but we have a double feature Game Launch episode for the first time on Collateral Gaming, as Ash reviews two titles in the last month, free of spoilers for anyone that hasn’t had a chance to pick them up yet: Final Fantasy XVI and the remaster of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective! The sixteenth mainline entry of Square Enix’s acclaimed fantasy RPG series (a timed exclusive on the PS5) has polarized fans of the franchise, as the self-proclaimed first ”full-fledged” real-time action RPG of the core Final Fantasy games. Fans of traditional turn-based FF titles have been apprehensive of this direction to say the least, and yet the series’ newest video game has been generating buzz for its fluid, Devil May Cry-esque combat and Game of Thrones-inspired dark medieval plot. On the other hand, Ghost Trick from the mind of Ace Attorney series creator Shu Takumi was a well-reviewed but oft-overlooked hidden gem from the end of the Nintendo DS lifespan. Now remastered and ported to modern consoles, how well are the fun mechanics, intricate story, and endearing characters of Capcom’s 2010 puzzle adventure title translated for a broader audience? If you enjoyed this double review, let us know on social media or your platform of choice, and stay tuned for more post-season content before our two-part Season Six Premiere in September on Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales from Insomniac Games!
