Summary Dungeons & Dragonsgives lots of ways to deal with adversaries during your adventures, even if the easiest solution is to ‘swing swords first and ask questions later.’ You may want to take a more passive route, navigating your adventures with as few deaths as possible, which can open up whole new pathways of thought.

I’ve always had a complicated relationship with fast travel. Open world video games utilise it for both convenience and necessity, while even smaller titles with multiple locations offer up a menu to save you walking from one location to the next in search of tasks to complete. It’ll often strike a balance between encouraging you to explore the world on your terms and letting you fast travel when you don’t fancy wasting minutes marching across the map....

Quick Links Every Final Fantasy is someone’s favourite, butFinal Fantasy 7ranks pretty highly for a lot of people, and with good reason. It is filled with a cast of memorable characters but even beyond that had a world whose core tenets were twisted by just how much you understood the lore and history of it.
