    Looking at the entire game, Crisis Core is an extremely important title for the Final Fantasy series, but a lot of its luster was lost in time or simply better realized in games that came after it. The main crucifix of Reunion is making a great remaster on top of a flawed gem of a title. For fans of the original, Reunion is the perfect remaster, while other Final Fantasy and action fans would probably be better with a full remake to realize the premise potential.

    Evaluating any remaster is fraught with difficulty because a person's enjoyment of it is almost always tied to how much they connect with the original game. My connection to Crisis Core is only in my experience with the original Final Fantasy VII and then the more recent Remake and its Intergrade DLC. Make no mistake: I love the world and characters of Final Fantasy VII, but that's not enough to make Crisis Core Reunion an easy recommendation. Much of its gameplay is repetitive and its narrative only pays off in fits and starts. Those who want to see and do all that this Reunion remaster offers will find dozens of hours of content, but outside of its compelling protagonist, Crisis Core feels fairly hollow, and it should be judged in a 2022 context as a home console experience. As such, its appeal will be limited more to diehard fans than RPG players as a whole.

    Love this game. An old classic revisited again. Stellar story and characters, plus the updated battle system is really fun.

    Really enjoyed this game! It was really awesome to play this game after playing the FF7 Remake to get more of a back story of the FF7 lore.Really enjoyed this game! It was really awesome to play this game after playing the FF7 Remake to get more of a back story of the FF7 lore. The combat was fun, face pace and engaging! The story overall was good, but at some points it didn’t feel natural? I know that’s a weird critic but I don’t know how else to explain it. Almost felt forced at time. However I did enjoy how linear the game was l, especially since I had just played TOTK for 100+ hours it was nice to jump into a “straight forward” style game/story. Definitely a fun ARPG everyone should check out!… Full Review »
