Is It Time to Be Excited?
I was a big old cynic whenFinal Fantasy VII Remakelaunched in April 2020.
Granted, it arrived on my doorstep during an exceptionally tricky time in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Games weren’t at the front of my mind in any way.

My PlayStation 5 has mostly sat there under my TV since I finished upSpider-Man: Miles Morales.
This feels like the turning point.
It just needs that potential to be nurtured.
