    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 gameReally 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.

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!… Expand

    This games well done storyline and interesting, yet somewhat mundane combat system give life to a franchise that I never was much of a fan of to begin with.

    I love this game. I also love Genesis. I hope to see him in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

    Nice remaster for an already good FF game: solid combat system, good story, beautiful music, cut scenes, voice acting and nice graphics (apart the hair with no filters ;) ).

    The main issues in my view are linked to the original portable design: missions are designed to be quick linear stages and with time they become boring for the current standards (go through a corridor, defeat the    Nice remaster for an already good FF game: solid combat system, good story, beautiful music, cut scenes, voice acting and nice graphics (apart the hair with no filters ;) ).

    The main issues in my view are linked to the original portable design: missions are designed to be quick linear stages and with time they become boring for the current standards (go through a corridor, defeat the same enemies and gain a prize), Environments are not too various and after finishing the games there are almost no rewards (gallery, cut scenes / tunes player, NG+ with additional quests...). Additionally, on the Switch this is a prequel that does not have a sequel as FFVII Remake is not available (unless you want to play the original HD version) and as the story is designed it leaves quite much of bittersweet feeling at the end...    … Expand

    Looks great, battle system is pretty fun, controls are a bit strange, and gameplay is sightly repetitive. Overall a good remake but not the best game overall.

    A must play for any FFVII fan! The battle system is fun, Materia fusion is great, voice acting brilliant. The best part of the game is the protagonist Zack Fair!

    The new combat made it 10000x better than the original crisis core where you literally can't move the camera and when the DMW is always in your face.

    Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. It was my first FF game that I played and I didn't know anything about FF7 back then.

    I remember when the original crisis core came out 15 years ago. it was so hype on the psp and arguably the best jrpg game on psp

    Still holds up to the OG, the second half of this game is unforgettable and will always be the best part of the game.

    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.

    While Crisis Core‘s shorter length is surprising, given the depth of the story it tells, the hooks it digs in are well worth unearthing. The trio tale of Angeal, Sephiroth, and Genesis is a relatively hidden side chapter of the FF7 Compilation, but it provides a deep, emotional core that will likely resonate in Rebirth and beyond.

    We found in Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion a title that surpasses what we can consider a remaster, offering a deluxe visual revamp with engaging chapter-based gameplay that is ideal for the Nintendo Switch. Its structure may be a little repetitive at times, but it's still a very enjoyable ride for the fans.
