Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin
GameOn Magazine|Issue 151 - May 2022
Chaos... Chaos must be vanquished. Chaos, Chaos, Chaos... I'm not exaggerating the use of Chaos as our protagonist, Jack, likes to bring this up at every available opportunity in Stranger Of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin just in case it had slipped our minds.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Publisher: KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD., Square Enix

Developer: TeamNinja

Genre: Action

Release Date:Out Now

Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox X|S

Ever since the reveal of Team Ninja's game, it became an instant meme regarding the overuse of Chaos. Now here I am, facing off against Chaos, and boy does Jack love to say it! Early comparisons to games such as Nioh or Dark Souls have been bouncing around the internet for a while, especially after the demonstration versions of the game have been released by Square Enix.

However, this isn't a fair comparison in my view as Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin stands out on its own two feet; the only thing I see that ties this to anything souls like would be the cube system that replenishes health and revives most enemies that you've defeated. What you get your hands on is a competent action game that will have you hacking, slashing, and chucking spells to your heart's content. Yes, you can block attacks, dodge out of the way, and even parry, but you can do those things in other titles that aren't labelled as soulslike.
