Games like to take us places, whether it's space, hidden jungles or a bygone version of England. As much as I love these alternate realities of the real thing and the joys of video game tourism, increasingly they've made me think about the home, the place in the physical world where most, if not all, our gaming actually takes place.

The home, or even just home in the wider sense, seems in many ways antithetical to the stories many games tell. Going on a journey means leaving home - RPGs in particular like to deal in permanent displacement. Baldur's Gate 3 begins after your player character has been abducted by mind flayers, Divinity: Original Sin 2 similarly starts with your imprisonment and escape. JRPG classic Secret of Mana compels you to travel because you've been exiled from your village, and in Dragon Quest 11, the protagonist's home is destroyed completely. This year, I loved Eastward's mild subversion of this classic idea of displacement - here, the whole quest was about finding a home. The game takes its time to introduce us to its different towns and sprawling cities, because it wants to make sure that we see protagonists John and Sam build a life there with all that entails - helping out in the community, making new friends, even sitting down at the end of an eventful day and having a meal together. However, many players later told me that these lengthy segments felt slow to them - pulling them away from the adventure gameplay that only happens when a calamity repeatedly displaces John and Sam.

There's no questioning that Final Fantasy VII Remake is not Final Fantasy VII, which is arguably why the 2020 remake works beautifully and is so enticing for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. However, if the idea of Remake being just a bit more similar to its predecessor is appealing to you, you're going to love a new fan project that seeks to reimagine the 2020 hit through the same lens as the 1997 classic--literally.

As noticed by GamesRadar, YouTuber Final FanTV has assembled a video featuring the first six minutes of Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII, side-by-side, using photomode mod tools created by Otis_Inf to perfectly frame Remake in the same fixed fashion as the original. According to Final FanTV, the video is meant to be a "proof of concept" that will "inspire the modding community to make FF7R fully playable with classic PS1 FF7 Cameras."

The video follows Cloud and rest of the AVALANCHE ground team during the games' iconic bombing mission, starting with Cloud's arrival at the train platform and ending with him placing the detonation on the reactor's core. Final FanTV uses this journey to showcase Remake's stunning graphics and set pieces with the same high and wide camera angles as the original game, which ultimately makes the game's scale and attention to detail even more noticeable.

The clip also features a few of the game's battle scenes recreated to mimic the style of the original game's slower-paced combat, though the YouTuber recommends that modders leave the battle scenes alone as they are "too massive" to follow or capture well. Final FanTV also stated they believe that the game's cutscenes should also "cut back to Remake," as the "lighting and placement changes" can be dramatic.

Thanks to Final Fantasy VII Remake's recent arrival on PC, it seems likely we can expect a whole lot of fun, nostalgic, and quality-of-life improving mods headed our way soon. Here's hoping this one makes the cut.

By now, Wordle has emerged as either your favorite obsession or the newest of your muted words on Twitter. As the new year arrived, the entire world seemed ready to catch one thing: Wordle fever. The daily puzzle game has become a viral hit, leading many people to suddenly ask how to play Wordle, because the word puzzle is all over social media and bringing in new players in droves with each daily puzzle. We too have caught on to the fun of the surprisingly social game and want to share a few tips for Wordle, including what we feel are some of the best first words to play in Wordle and other strategies. Here's a roundup from a few Wordle experts on our team.

My go-to strategy with Wordle is two-pronged: Concentrate on the vowels and then narrow it down with the most common consonants. I'll start with a vowel-heavy word like ADIEU, which usually identifies at least one letter (two if I'm lucky). Based on that first try, I'll then try and find a word that incorporates consonants like T, S, and R on the second line, and if I'm feeling particularly smart, I'll try and fit in the vowel O somewhere as well. This strategy usually leads me to a solution by line 4 (85% of my wins in the last two weeks have been at 4), although it has led me astray once (damn you TIGER). -- Randy Ramsay

I’ve loved word games for just about as long as I’ve been able to string words together, so a lot of what I pull from when I strategize in Wordle is the undisputed classic among them: Scrabble. Scrabble assigns point values to letters based on how commonly they appear in the English language, with the lowest-scoring letters being the most popular. If, like me, you’ve invested far too much time into that game, try to think of which letters have the lowest value and make sure you can squeeze ‘em in your first guess. I tend to find "ATONE" and "IRATE" are good first tries--you manage to check the puzzle for three vowels and a couple of commonly used letters in locations they typically appear in. Another tip: think in pairs as you continue. If you know an “h” is the second letter, try getting both an "s" and a "c" in your next guess, since they commonly go in front of "h." -- Jessica Howard

When I first started playing Wordle, I was all over the place. I would repeatedly try letters I knew weren't there, and it took me a solid week to remember that letters could be repeated (seriously, Wordle needs some kind of indicator for repeated letters). As a seasoned player going on three weeks now, I've finally got my strategy. I start with ARISE, a solid word that knocks out three vowels and two common consonants. I aim to get vowels placed as quickly as possible because for some reason my brain can work around those foundations easier than consonants. I don't understand why either, but since I've implemented that strategy, I typically guess the word in three or four goes and haven’t missed a single one. -- Lucy James

My advice is at odds with what you'd probably expect: Don't stress too much about it. I'm eager to guess the day's word in as few tries as possible, but I'm mindful of not turning Wordle into a chore by trying to min/max my way to that goal. While I do try to think of words with vowels and more common letters (I stay away from X, Z, and Q), I try a different word every day and just go with the flow. I initially lamented that Wordle doesn't let you go back and replay old puzzles, but I've quickly grown fond of its one-per-day-and-that's-it structure. Over-aggressive tweeting from fellow players aside, it's remained a relaxing treat by not taking it too seriously or worrying about using the perfect word right from the get-go. -- Chris Pereira

My approach to Wordle, and many of life's big challenges, started by looking to a group of people that I have often sought guidance and advice from, and believe to be enlightened thinkers that are unmatched by any other scholars. As expected, they gave me exactly what I was looking for: a versatile starting word that, thus far, has yielded excellent results. Of course, I am talking about the legendary Staten Island-based hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan and, naturally, the word I always begin with is C.R.E.A.M. As we all know, track eight on Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) posits that "cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. get the money, dollar dollar bill y'all." Time has proven this adage correct, but within the context of Wordle, CREAM also gets the solution. Dollar, dollar bills y'all. --Tamoor Hussain

If all else fails and you think your current strategy just doesn't work no matter what, you could always go the route of this devoted player:

Good luck with your next puzzle, fellow Wordle nerds!
