    First of all, this game costs 80€, which is absolutely insane. No game costs that much in base, only with season pass.
    Second of all, this game is absolutely unplayable due to
    permanent freezes and fps drops. The fps count could drop from 60 to 10 for absolutely no reason. It's unacceptable for game with action fight mechanic. And the last, but not the least, does Square Enix pay for

    And the last, but not the least, does Square Enix pay for good reviews on this page? All positive reviews were written by newbies, which is very suspicious and concerning. Nevertheless, the quality of this port is bad, and no one really talks about it. Game press just praising the game for "gorgeous 120 FPS PC experience". Did they even play the game on PC? I just have no words. It's shocking.

    Liking 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.

    Why 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.

    What 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.

    Finally 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.

    Epic Game Store exclusive, **** port, and 93 CAD. Square Enix once again proves that they don't give a **** on doing a good porting of their games on PC. Do not buy it.

    Very 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.

    I 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.

    I 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!

    Overpriced? 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.

    Here's a message to anyone giving this great game 0/10, because "PrIcE ToO hIgH" - Don't buy it. It's that simple. If the Price is so big factor for you, then maybe, just maybe you are not even fan of this game in the first place. I know PC players are use to buy games from steam when they are discounted to 10 or 5 dollars/euros, but in general, Console players pay always 70 or 80.

I know PC players are use to buy games from steam when they are discounted to 10 or 5 dollars/euros, but in general, Console players pay always 70 or 80. You are SUPPOSED to review THE GAME, not THE STORE or THE PRICE. Is it so hard to understand concept? Review is supposed to talk about video game itself, is it good, is story good, characters, graphics, etc. Just cause you give bad reviews, believe it or not, they wont change that price, nope. They wont. So you either pay the price and enjoy the game or you don't pay the price and you don't enjoy the game. Either way, without actually playing it or even caring about the game, you should NEVER give 0/10 review. PS: Amazing game, would highly recommend! Expand

    game is lagging often even on recommended configuration. even when gpu is not fully utilized (around 60-70%) and cpu only about 30%. so sad. even in combat.

    The Price of 80€ is to high in the same time ps5 Version Coast 40€. At this time with this Prise i cant rate any other aspect of the Game.

    Very 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.

    It'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.

    Very 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.

    Played for 7 hours and for $70 its not worth the price..... It was extremely better on the PS4/PS5. This port is lazy and uninspired. SquareEnix does a lazy port yet again

    The 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]

    FF7R 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.

    Final 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.
