After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/ I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time) |

They're making the original 30-40 hour game into three 40-60 hour action RPGs. I don't know enough about game development timelines, but I'm assuming that it's just large to juggle, especially since it has crossed console generations.
I've only played part one, but they did a great job with it! A warning though: they add a good bit of "filler" compared to the original to turn the 5ish hour Midgar sequence into a full game. It can be a bit draining at points since I wanted to just relive the original game I love, but if you know that going in, it's not bad, just different.
There's some weird stuff they do with Sephiroth to make the end of part one feel more substantial as it's own game, but again, if you can look past it, the game is excellent.
Also note that it's an action RPG now instead of being turn based. Sometimes I missed the old turn based gameplay.
