With Final Fantasy 16, traditions were broken. From a real-time combat system that rewards stylish play to a lack of emphasis on party members, with gameplay instead focusing on a singular character. Despite this, however, Final Fantasy 16 was well accepted when it first came out on the PS5 last year. The new PC release also manages to provide an excellent excuse to revisit the epic fantasy adventure.
Let’s get one of the most important things out of the way. The PC port of Final Fantasy 16 is downright fantastic. It provides plenty of graphical options to tinker with, and manages to play surprisingly well with mouse and keyboard controls. I would still, however, recommend using a controller to play, since Fin…

Kessie, who has already been capped by Ivory Coast, joined Atalanta in 2015 but spent last season on loan at Cesena in Serie B.
While Kessie hopes to reach the level of midfield stars Yaya Toure and Michael Essien, his long-term ambition is to represent United.
My idols are Yaya Toure and Essien. I was told that I have to work very hard to reach a big level, Kessie told Sky Italia.
Now I want to learn Italian tactics but in the future, I like the Premier League. I d like to play for Manchester United. I don t kno…

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres has described Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard as the best player he has played with.
The Spain international played alongside Gerrard at Anfield from 2007-2011 before making a big-money move to Chelsea.
Despite having played alongside the likes of Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Xabi Alonso and Frank Lampard, Torres said Gerrard was best.
Out of all the great players I have played with, Gerrard, for me, is the best, Torres told The Mirror.
But he is more than that he is a good friend who, as a captain, is always there for his players.
I know what Liverpool means to him, so yes I would have loved to see my friend finish his final season with a trophy, but it was not to be.
He has had so much success for Li…
A trio of Serie A sides are interested in signing Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian, according to the Mirror.

Jose Mourinho was angry towards his rivalling number Antonio Conte at the weekend claiming the Italian had humiliating him and his team.
The Portuguese tactician should however be focused on shame rather than humiliation as he has none other than himself to blame for the current state of affairs at Manchester United.
The Red Devils lack idea and organisation in their play while the deficiency of clearly shaped system is making Mourinho’s biggest stars look worryingly overpriced as they keep underachieving against direct top four and title contenders.
This story has nothing to do with Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United however but rather to his Chelsea reject Victor Moses, w…
Manchester United are searching for the right man to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the Old Trafford dugout, and one of the names linked most heavily is current Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino.
According to , the 20-time English champions have contacted the Ligue 1 giants and asked if it would be possible to convince them to release the Argentinian tactician from his contract, set to run until the end of 2022-23, now. However, PSG refused point-blank, making it perfectly clear that they have no intention of changing their head coach in the middle of the season. It is believed Pochettino might still end up at Old Trafford eventually, but not before the end of the current campaign, regardless of any money potentially put on the table.
If United remain keen o…
According to a recent report from AS, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is ready to put forward a late bid for Kylian Mbappe.
The summer transfer window is always full of monumental moves and in the wake of Lionel Messi’s departure from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, we knew this was a summer unlike any other.
Perez is typically known for striking his biggest and best deals late in the window and in this instance, there’s a belief that he could do so again this time on deadline day itself.
Mbappe alongside Neymar and Messi would arguably be the greatest front three in the history of the beautiful game, but if he wants to be featured as the main star, the long-rumoured move to the Bernabeu could open up a whole new door for him.
