Dec 17, 2021Overpriced? Sure, but still very fun game. I like Combat in this one more than in original tbh. Reminds me Devil May Cry 5. Great game.
-
Dec 17, 2021Finally Definitive Edition of this amazing game has been released. Because PC version is always Definitive version, even if it's just for keyboard and mouse support, that simply makes looking around, combat and basically everything so much better and more enjoyable. But PC also has better performance and mods. Great game, finally on Greatest Gaming Platform of All Time - PC. Can't wait for Part 2.
-
Dec 17, 2021I know that is personal preference, but i enjoy this game so much more with keyboard+mouse. Everything is just so smooth. Graphics look basically same as PS5 and that is fine by me. What truly matters on PC version is performance and it is pretty solid. People complaining about bad performance should maybe buy new GPU, because GTX 1060 is little bit old by now.

Dec 17, 2021Very fun game. Beautiful visuals, good combat, boss fights, characters are very likable and also look really cool with their epic hairstyles and voice acting is also solid. Would recommend.
-
Dec 17, 2021It's so obvious that bunch of people are going to whine and leave bad reviews, because it's not on steam and whatever else. In my opinion what really matters is the fact that i can actually FINALLY play this game on my PC. I absolutely don't care what store i need to use to buy it. I want to play the game. I don't care about store okay? I rather take this, than nothing.
-
Dec 17, 2021Very good remake, on-par with Resident Evil 2 Remake, in all honesty i would even go as far and say i prefer this to original. Combat is so much better in this one, more interactive. Haters can go back to fortnite.
-
Dec 17, 2021This is literally Best Christmas over a long time. Spider-Man No Way Home was great, now Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PC. Perfection.
-

Dec 17, 2021Good game, about time it came to PC, i was starting to worry already, but better late than never.
Now i have at least something to play until Horizon 2 releases. -
Dec 17, 2021Liking this game depends mostly on wanting copy+paste of original or wanting same story and characters, but with modern movement,combat, etc. I prefer modern and i think this game helps people easier to get into FFXVI that looks already phenomenal. Not perfect, but nothing is.

Dec 17, 2021What an amazing year has PC had honestly, first Days Gone, now this and God of War in January. PC truly is the greatest, im not even trying to start some console war or whatever, im just stating the facts. PC gets all Xbox games and now basically most PS4 games as well. Good time to be PC gamer.
-
Dec 17, 2021I have PS4 version too and this PC version is way better, pretty much exactly what i was hoping for. Great way to end 2021 with this masterpiece!

Dec 17, 2021Why the hell are people complaining? This game has no Denuvo, there's million other ways you can get this game, if you actually use your brain for once. Just saying. This game is basically masterpiece, at least for me and if you are not happy that it came to PC, then you are not Final Fantasy fan anyway.
-
Dec 17, 2021This game is very good, performance is actually very solid, there are multiple videos on Youtube showing that even with 1060 you can get 90-100fps @ 1080p max settings. There are some stutters at times (not all the time) when it loads certain areas, but other than that i had no issues with this game. Visually looks amazing.
-
Dec 18, 2021This game is so, so, so much better than Cyberbug2077. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is actual art, while Cyberpunk2077 is just average undercooked McDonald's food. Would highly recommend FF7Remake, if you wanna have fun and experience something epic.
-
Dec 18, 2021idk, not really interested reading some fake negative reviews that whine about epic game store and whatever else is wrong in their personal lives. I have played two hours and imo it's great.
-
Dec 17, 2021Very good game and i'm absolutely glad it's finally on PC! Yes, i agree, it is overpriced, but it doesn't have Denuvo, so if you don't wanna buy it, you can get it from "somewhere else". Either way, what actually matters is that this great game is finally on PC and actually runs really well. This was surprising Christmas present for sure.
-
Dec 17, 2021I wouldn't dare to say it's perfect, cause it's not. But it's still very good video game. Could use some patches, other than that, it's great.
-
Dec 17, 2021Finally on PC!!! This feels like a dream, amazing just amazing. One of the most beautiful games of all time!
-
Dec 18, 2021Needs some patches, otherwise it's good as expected, can't wait for sequel...
-
Dec 18, 2021Hopefully part 2 comes out on PC same day as console, because why not? Not like Part 2 is gonna sell more PS5's, if anything FF7RemakePart2 will sell more, if it comes out same day on PC.
-
Dec 17, 2021I'm glad this Masterpiece is f i n a l l y on PC. I have been waiting so long. To me and i think in general, this is one of the best and most important PC releases of 2021.
-
Dec 18, 2021
-
Dec 18, 2021Best game of 2020, and quite a good port. The game runs even on ancient PC's.
I don't really understand those who downgrade it for the lack of the game in Steam or a couple of soapy textures. It's barely perceptible. -
Dec 17, 2021I think this game was great Christmas present, can't wait for mods. Some people will never be happy and always complain, it's just easier to ignore their sad existence and instead just enjoy great games. Hopefully 2022 will be even stronger year for games!
-
Dec 17, 2021Very good game, I recommend! The price isn't as bad as people make it seem. Its the same price as the PS5 version which came out a few months ago. Its $10 more because it comes with a DLC. It's worth it
-
Dec 18, 2021I mean it's not perfect, but nothing is and so what? It's better than majority of games made in recent years.
-
Dec 18, 2021
-
Dec 17, 2021Let me guess, people giving it 0 out of 10 or even 3 out of 10 are people who actually never even cared about this game. Absolutely no actual FF7Remake fan would give this 0. There were also lots of losers giving 0 out of 10 for PS4 version, so maybe these are same people. Game is good btw.
-
Dec 18, 2021FF7R is one of the best video games of all time. Wonderful worldbuilding, story, characters, soundtrack and visuals.

Dec 18, 2021Square Enix did amazing job with this game. Absolute Masterpiece and way better game (in general) than the original version. Amazing art style, characters look so cool, combat is so much better. I hope Square truly takes their time with Part 2, there's no need to rush it. In fact, i'm hopeful that FFXVI comes before Part 2.
-

-
Dec 18, 2021FF7Remake is without a question most important PC release of 2021. It's not even debatable. People who don't understand greatness of this game, don't deserve it anyway. This is masterpiece.
-
Dec 18, 2021I hope all these haters and review bombers have awful 2022, because that's all these kinds of people deserve. Review bombing this masterpiece should be illegal!
-
Dec 18, 202180 € for a port of a game over a year old, that you can only get digitally and that won't even cost that much on the original platform?? I'm a huge fan of the original, finished it several times, played every spin off and even watched the movies out there, but no way I'm going to accept a 30 € spike on the price suddenly just because they are greedy
-
Jan 25, 2022Pros-
Still an excellent game that holds up nicely over the last 2 years
Seamless controller support is great
The performance settings are really effective
Cons-
Graphics settings could have been more robust
Performance overall should have been more dependable than it is -

Feb 5, 2023A garbage game, with badly optimization, trash plot, soulless characters and monotonous gameplay.
Disappointing on pretty much everything -
Jan 20, 2022Way better than I expected it to be. The conversion from turn-based to action-rpg worked really well. Despite lots of people reporting issues, I had zero problems with it running 120fps at almost all times for me, 1920x1080, high settings, with a ryzen 3900x cpu and a gtx1080Ti
-
Jul 16, 2022One of the best final fantasy games I ever played , a super great experience

Sep 10, 2022ภาพสวย เนื้อเรื่องน่าติดตาม ตัวละครมีเสน่ห์และน่ารัก คอมแบทก็สนุก ข้อเสียเล็กน้อยคือถ้ารู้จักภาคออริจินอลมาก่อน ถึงจะอินกว่านี้
-
Oct 6, 2022Absolutely amazing remake, way better than original. Only people who hate it are 50 y old virgins, who are not able to enjoy anything new and creative. Hype for part 2 is unreal and also can't wait for Reunion remaster.
-
Oct 25, 2022I never cared for the original, it looked so childish and boring. But this remake is absolutely phenomenal and has slowly became one of my favorite games of all time! Can't wait to play Reunion and then part 2.
-
Jun 24, 2023Absolutely amazing game, hype for the part 2 is unreal. I have zero doubt that the sequel will be equally good.

Dec 20, 2021Typical, bunch of people whining because "product not perfect", well that's 2021 for you. Either way, it's way better than PS4 version and when they patch it, it will be better than PS5 version. In fact i already like this version more, because i can finally play with keyboard/mouse.

May 26, 2022I have waited a long time and now the game gets a negative rating from me.
The first reason is the price of 80 euros, which is much too much for this game.
The second reason is the exclusivity at the Epic Store, that there is such a sales machine at all is a slap in the face!
NO MONOPOLIZATION OF GAMES!
Should this change I will of course change my rating. -

-
Jan 17, 2022side missions are boring.
Some of the main story progression could be more interesting. The world is there but you can't interact with it. Might as well have made it a top down game. -
Dec 18, 2021Wonderful game, seriously......................................................
-
Dec 19, 2021So many Peoble give the Game 0/10 because of the price what is pretty ridiculous. Everybody who played this would never give it a 0/10. Even if there a some little Problems on PC, that is nothing that can't get fixed. It's not a mess like Cyperpunk. This Game is amazing on PS4, was even better on PS5 and is amazing on PC too.
-
Dec 20, 2021Instead of complaining about what it doesn't have I am enjoying what is there. And It's amazing.
-
Dec 20, 2021Amazing Remake and it's absolute fact that most gamers would have never even cared to try it, if it wasn't for this remake. It improves on original in every way possible. Better visuals, worlds feels alive now, better looking characters, better voice acting and better combat. Of course 40y old virgins are going to hate this remake, because it's better than their 90s pixel fest.
-

Dec 18, 2021Good. Some performance issues aside, it's beautiful game, that has actually unique story.
-
Dec 21, 2021Very fun and beautiful game, cool boss fights, actually likable characters, beautiful music score and so much more. Can't wait for mods and some patches too lol.
-
Dec 21, 2021Got it running smooth using "-dx11" fix, calling it worst PC version of all time is not doing it justice at all. Arkham Knight (2015) was about million times worse than this. Of course they need to improve it, but it's not that bad jesus christ. There's a difference between saying it's "flawed/problematic, but playable" and simply calling it "trash".
-

Dec 20, 2021Here's how i got it running smooth 60fps high settings 1080p no lag at all - go to settings (not in game, but inside the game folder) and set it to -dx11. This made HUGE performance difference. I had huge lag in hub area (slums), now lag is completely gone. I literally started the game over, to experience it smoothly this time (i was in chapter 5, so it's not a big deal). Game is amazing.

Dec 21, 2021Amazing, extremely fun game, full of life and energy, might have most beautiful/hot female characters of any video game ever (Aerith and Tifa) (they also have amazing personality, it's not just looks). Would recommend this game, absolutely not on full price, but otherwise it's a must play.
-
Dec 18, 2021Surprisingly good game, some negative reviews here make it look like it's worst PC game of all time or something, but that's absolute lie. I get solid 100fps with GTX 1070 and game is really fun so far. I guess people have nothing else to do with their lives than spread negativity and downvote games that they wouldn't play anyway.

Jan 17, 2022I really enjoyed play this game.
Good Graphics, the music oh my god soo enjoyable !
And play as Cloud Tifa or Barrett almost 20 years later was a real pleasure!
I played the original as a kid and now i played this one as a man and i could remember why i loved so much the Final Fantasy 7 universe !
A must to play for sure !
70 Euros for the game is not worth at all but here we go its on PC . -

-
Feb 10, 2022Я бы мог смириться с отсутствием русской озвучки, но отсутствие даже субтитров это позорище. Square Enix - посмешище.
-
Jan 10, 2022I think this version is better than PS4 version, because i have PS4 version too and on PC it feels better to play with mouse and keyboard. Overall great game!
-
Jan 13, 2022This game iş amazing ! İ completed this 12 times with rtx. Ee
-
Jan 15, 2022I had no idea if i was going to like this game or not, because i'm not huge anime fan and overall these types of games don't get my attention, but this game is surprisingly fun.

Dec 22, 2021The problems: 1- Price, 2- Store exclusive, 3- Stuttering, 4- Lack of options for a pc game, 5- Force to resolution scale (just, why?), 6- History change from original, 7- Just a slice from original game, 8- Bad port. You must have a low IQ to buy this.

Dec 21, 2021Way better than the original. But that's what this was supposed to be, improved and modernized version and imo they delivered pretty well. Hype for part II.
-
Dec 28, 2021This game runs well for me at 1440p on my hardware. I think the battle-system and graphics are truly amazing. The only downside is that it look so long to come to PC.

Dec 20, 2021The worst AAA PC port of the year. Masterpiece ruined by lazy porting team with lack of dedication and respect to players
-
Dec 19, 2021A great game, but awful PC port.
Performance issues, lack of graphic options, nightmare of a controls for some mini games and bike sequences (you can't change those) if you use M&KB. -
Jan 6, 2022I.. don't understand any of these high reviews. The game on console has more graphic options and not only runs poorly on PC, as many many consumers have reported, the price is heinous and the support for the game and communication around it was PURPOSFULLY misleading. Are the people who bought this trying to make games worse in the future? stop it. just asking you to stop it please?

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 30, 2024The PC version already has the improved textures from the PS5 version, but sometimes you'll just notice crappy textures, environments or NPCs that haven’t fully loaded yet, and of course image tearing in some not-so-frequent moments. The PC version is good, but personally I'd reach for the PS5 version which just runs smoother. [Issue#317]

Aug 15, 2022FF7R is a fantastic reimaging of the iconic title. Refusing to classify itself as a nostalgia act, it expands upon the original narrative in new and exciting ways. The combat system has a seamless fluidity to it, allowing for engaging and entertaining gameplay sequences. Artistically, FF7R retains the level of quality players have come to expect from Square Enix, but it does falter ever so slightly in some environments. The updated rendition of the classic OST is outstanding from start to finish, with the sound design team matching it in every regard.
-
Jul 18, 2022Final Fantasy VII Remake is a visual marvel, and the environment focussed story is perhaps more relevant now than ever. The slick gameplay and new story twists make the game worth playing even for old school fans. The game does overstay its welcome, however. And the sidequests are a bit bland. Luckily, the Intergrade chapter largely fixes these complaints. If Square Enix stays that course, then Rebirth promises to be great.
