Opens in a new windowCredit: Amazon'Final Fantasy XVI'$49.99 at AmazonThe darkest Final Fantasy yet is a massive, cinematic adventure that shouldn't be missed. Final Fantasy XVIdigs deep into its roots and comes away with a new twist on the series with a dark fantasy. Journey to the continent of Valisthea and take on the role of Clive Rosfield, who finds his kingdom destroyed, his brother Joshua missing, and a mysterious drought known as Blight taking over the land. This gritty twist on the normally plucky series is a stark departure, but an excellent one that fans won't want to pass up, especially at this price.
