A beautiful mess

Are there better sandbox games than Final Fantasy XV? Yes, but this is still a game that is well worth playing.

There are a fair number of issues with the game; the story borders on nonsensical and is hard to follow at times, seemingly important characters come and go with little ceremony, the camera does not do well in crowded areas, there are bugs and glitches that sometimes threaten to crash the game, and the less said about the Cup Noodles quest, the better. Nonetheless, exploring the country of Eos is a treat, with tons of secrets hidden in the nooks and crannies of the world, monsters to fight, treasures to unearth, and quests to undertake. The chemistry between the heroes helps to make the journey all the more enjoyable; Noctis may be a prince and his companions may be his bodyguards, but hearing and seeing them interact, you'd be forgiven for thinking they were college buddies on a road trip. The combat system is slick and empowering with very few hiccups, and taking down tough enemies leaves one with a feeling of accomplishment.

While the story of the game is a little on the short side, this is a game that rewards players committed to exploring the world. There is also plenty of post game dungeons and content to explore, so you will never be want for adventures to undertake on your magical road trip.

Overall, I have enjoyed this game immensely, and I recommend it both to Final Fantasy fans and newcomers who enjoy open world games.
