#5 One Year Later: Square Enix
Last Year: Ubisoft
So we panned Square Enix’s conference last year and while we’re not going to talk ourselves into thinking it was actually good, it has certainly aged a lot better than the two that came before it.
The Square Enix games that formed the core of their show last year all at least were decent-to-great games that ended up fulfilling the hype behind them.
Both Kingdom Hearts 3 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider were solid games that released on time; which in the case of the former was not a guarantee. Just Cause 4, while it wasn’t groundbreaking, was more of what fans of that franchise enjoy playing, great.
While fans were disappointed to not get substantial news on Final Fantasy VII: Remake, it appears that this year Square Enix is prepared to right those wrongs.
Again, Square Enix’s show was pretty lackluster last year, don’t get us wrong, but at least they didn’t put games like Anthem and Fallout 76 up on a pedestal.
