MONSTER OF THE DEEP: FINAL FANTASY XV

Developer/publisher Square Enix Format PSVR Release September

-

Or, if we may, Square Enix Batshit Fishing. The publisher’s post-launch support for Final Fantasy XV has been commendabl­e, and varied – recent updates have added thirdperso­n shooting stages and free-roaming, off-road driving, while the forthcomin­g Comrades expansion will offer fourplayer co-op. It seems Square Enix intends to, slowly but surely, turn Final Fantasy XV into the everygame, containing every genre and gameplay mechanic known to man. It’s an interestin­g experiment, you must admit. That’s at least one of the more plausible explanatio­ns for Monster Of The Deep, a VR-powered mix of Sega

Bass Fishing with FFXV’s matey central foursome and hideous aquatic bestiary. Details are thin on the ground, but really, there’s little more to say. This is FFXV’s fishing minigame reborn in a VR headset through the lens of a Sega arcade classic; you can eat the daily catch around the fire with Noctis and co; it looks absolutely ridiculous, and you can colour us weirdly, guiltily intrigued.
