A Hero’s Burden
Zack Fair might just be the poster child for the “tragic hero” plaque in the Final Fantasy hall of fame. Picture him: the cheerful kid clutching dreams of glory, yet every battlefield photo op starts etching the hard lines of a soldier. He dances on the edge, holding onto high-school-day light, minutes away from living the worst backstage story ever. The original Crisis Core on the PSP in 2007 blew passionate moons of Final Fantasy fans away, adding sweet backstage gossip to VII’s opera. Trouble was, the tiny screen, slow-moving pre-Facebook frame rates, and zero second chance meant the rest of the world kinda never came. Jump to now, and Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII– Reunion swings the door wide. Think of Reunion as a homeroom reunion in your old science lab. The beaker’s updated, the teacher and glasses kid from ’97 arrive in 1080p, and new kids still can drool at the lab-kit lava lamp and decide to love science the same way. For anyone who buy cheap PS5 games, it’s a chance to experience the updated magic without paying full price. Reunion’s not just rolled textures and half-earned shader physics, though. They rerouted the emotional dartboard. Why? Because Zack’s story burned itself into memory, and yet pops with new sparks every decade, centre frame. Let’s chat about the reasons it now owns your screen time minutes, and why Zack the eternal soldier becomes an empath ROI every voluntarily cried moment.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII was a hidden gem limited to the PSP, crafted to tell the story of SOLDIER member Zack Fair and a must-play for any fan. Few could have predicted the arrival of a full Final Fantasy VII Remake. Still, for newcomers to grasp the characters and their backstories, playing Crisis Core was essential. Thankfully, Square Enix has ensured no one misses out with the release of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, a faithful 1:1 remake featuring a host of enhancements. For anyone who buy cheap PS4 games, it’s the perfect opportunity to experience this essential prequel without paying full price.

Zack Fair’s Journey Before the Epic Begins
After playing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for a third time in its newly refreshed and revitalized form, Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion, one thing became clear – this is a true remaster. It’s more than just a simple upscale or a cosmetic update; it’s a carefully reconstructed and retooled version that modernizes a 14-year-old handheld game while preserving the essence of the original. In short, it’s both the best way to experience Crisis Core and a strong new release on its own merits. For those who buy cheap PS4 games, it’s a chance to enjoy this definitive version without paying full price.

Gears of War Reloaded
Gears of War: Reloaded looks even better than the Ultimate Edition, which I mention because it’s the closest thing to a newer version—the fifth act has been expanded with five additional chapters that weren’t in the original console release. Unfortunately, Reloaded still carries over some of the flaws from previous versions, which can be frustrating, especially on higher difficulty levels.

Sea of Thieves Sails to PS5, Expanding Its Multiplayer Horizons
When Rare first unveiled Sea of Thieves, many were skeptical due to the veteran British studio's shift in philosophy. Known for their diverse portfolio including platformers, shooters during the David Doak era, and Killer Instinct, Sea of Thieves marked a bold departure both in approach and development style—switching engines, embracing community input, and evolving into a live service game. Despite initial doubts, Sea of Thieves has become Rare's biggest and most ambitious project yet, boasting over 40 million players. It was among the first first-party titles to launch on Xbox Game Pass and now, six years later, it's extending its reach to PlayStation 5 under Microsoft's new initiative to bring Xbox classics to other platforms. This move makes perfect sense for a multiplayer sandbox game like Sea of Thieves, ensuring its longevity and continued player engagement. As Rare looks ahead to its next project, Everwild, Sea of Thieves remains a testament to its ability to innovate and adapt—making it a surprising but welcome option for those interested in buying cheap PS4 games that offer endless, evolving adventures.

Sea of Thieves: Crossplay Made Easy
Okay, so here's the deal: to even start playing, you gotta have a Microsoft account and be hooked up with PlayStation Plus, which also lets you buy Xbox games. No dice without those. Logging into your account is pretty chill though — just scan a QR and punch in your details on your phone. But watch out, our main guy Ron Burke hit some snags, so your experience might differ. Once you're in, though, bam! You've got all your stuff from PC or Xbox right there. The game's all about that cross-save and crossplay, making it super easy to switch platforms without missing a beat.

Conquer PvE Encounters in Sea of Thieves
Having the freedom to craft your own adventure sounds dope for a game, right? That's the vibe Sea of Thieves is all about — cool settings, epic tech stuff, and opportunities to buy Xbox games. It's been hyped since day one, but does it deliver now that it's out? A while back, I wrote about why Sea of Thieves was gonna be huge. Now that it's here, though, can we say it lives up to the hype? Well, the honest take is: not completely, at least not yet. Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant in many ways, but it's also a massive work in progress. See, Sea of Thieves isn't just about specific gameplay mechanics or storylines. It's all about the experience it creates. The first time you dive in, it hits hard. If you've been in since the beta, you know what I'm saying. But for newcomers, get ready for some serious surprises.
