Final Fantasy 16 review bombers claim game \u201ccompletely betrays\u201d fans Square EnixFinal Fantasy 16 is being review bombed for its PlayStation 5 exclusivity and differences from other FF entries. Following its release on June 22, 2023, Final Fantasy 16 has nearly perfect reviews from major gaming websites. Critics praise the recent entry in the Square Enix franchise for taking a different yet impressive direction compared to other Final Fantasy titles. Nevertheless, some players are not impressed with how much the devs altered FF16 in comparison to other JRPGs. For example, the action-oriented combat system was a huge adjustment from Final Fantasy\u2019s turn-based battles. Therefore, FF fans had to get accustomed to such a contrasting gameplay experience. However, some users don\u2019t believe the title should be considered a Final Fantasy game, or even JRPG. Final Fantasy 16 reviews criticize game\u2019s different approach At the time of writing, Final Fantasy 16 holds a 7.4\/10 User Score compared to an 88 Metascore on Metacritic. Most reviews slam the installment for losing its identity and playing more like Devil May Cry than a Final Fantasy entry. However, some people have review bombed Final Fantasy 16 for being a PlayStation 5 exclusive. \u201cThe exclusivity of Final Fantasy XVI to the PlayStation platform has ignited a firestorm of controversy and dismay within the fan community, and understandably so,\u201d one review read. \u201cThis work completely betrays players who like Final Fantasy. It is not an RPG at all, but an ACT work without depth, and it only learned the fur of DMC5,\u201d a reviewer wrote. \u201cIn its attempt to evolve as an RPG franchise, FF16 completely loses its identity and consistency,\u201d another player said. \u201cAt one point you feel like you\u2019re playing a Devil May Cry wannabe game, which suddenly shifts to being a shallow MMO RPG with laughably dull and outdated side quest design.\u201d Unfortunately, some console-exclusive games can cause division among gamers.
