Final Fantasy XV holds a critic score of 81 out of 100. That places it above 73% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72.

The main story runs about 52.4 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 80 hrs, roughly 1.5 times the length of the critical path.

The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i5-2500（3.3GHz and above）/ AMD FX™-6100 （3.3GHz and above）, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 760 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 / AMD Radeon™ R9 280. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 100GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
