    The PC porting of Final Fantasy XIII's last installment is the best of the trilogy, but it still isn't enough to raise the game from its intrinsic mediocrity.

    A great pc port of a not-so-great jrpg. It’s still a decent experience for fans of the series or the genre though, and the sheer technical value of this version is enough to try it out if you missed it in the past.

    The PC version of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is a good porting that runs smoothly at 1080p/60fps on older PCs. The game has still few balancing issues, but its combat system can be fun.

    Lightning returns for the last time, as a PC port, and wow, Japanese do not understand computers at all. Not even mouse support!? [02/2016, p.59]

    In comparison to XIII it’s certainly a stronger experience, but it’s a case of whether you can stomach yet another adventure in that vein.

    It may be one step forward and two steps back in the overall Final Fantasy XIII series, but it is still an attractive package.

    Recommended! Very good port!
    1080p and 60FPS with upgraded graphic - new lighting, realistic DOF effect and anisotropic filtering.

    But interface texture has drawn for 720p resolution.

    I have beat a half of this game and i want to say this game is very intresting. I like new battle system, but it a little worse than battle system in XIII and XIII-2, because Lightning in only one playable charcter in LR:FFXIII.
    And i like game story too, i very glad to meet all of main characters from XIII and XIII-2 again.    … Full Review »

    You absolutely NEED a guide for the "good" ending or to find a particular enemy. Also, some enemies are invincible.    … Full Review »
