Critic Reviews
| Website/Author | Aggregates' Score ~ Critic's Score | Quote | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| - | Unscored ~ | An expansive remake that treads carefully upon this most cherished of games, though some blunders will linger long in the memory. | PS4 |
| - | Unscored ~ | This one has been a difficult game to review. There's a masterclass people expect from Square games and I don't know if this hits it, but I do know that I enjoyed what I played and don't feel ripped off for buying a copy to give away to one of you guys. So to me, I would say it is worth getting if you understand these caveats that are here. If you don't like some of these caveats, I would say there's no reason in pushing back and maybe waiting for a bit. | PS4 |
| Unscored ~ | I love Final Fantasy VII Remake. Midgar feels so real, so full of life that I could almost picture myself there. The story still holds up as one of gaming's all-time greats, even with just this slight section, and the new action-based mechanics make battles more exciting than I thought possible. Cloud, Barret, Tifa and Aerith are incredibly well-realized, and the voice talent behind them is utterly superb. If the rest of the episodes are as good as this first one, the entirety of this series may yet dethrone the PS1 release... Mechanically, visually, and even narratively, FF7 and its remake are two almost entirely different games and both deserve a spot in your collection. | PS4 | |
| - | Unscored ~ | A staggering reimagining of a genre touchstone, FFVIIR makes improvements upon the original in many areas but is similarly harmed by some uneven additions. | PS4 |
| - | Unscored ~ | You get to do a lot in this game's runtime, which is why its 35-plus hours feel as hearty as classic JRPGs of twice that length. | PS4 |
| - | Unscored ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake is not what I expected. It’s a grand, ambitious, beautiful experiment, a bold new take on a game that millions of people remember fondly. It sometimes feels shackled by the weight of two decades worth of expectations, but it handles those restraints with aplomb. I certainly can’t wait to see what’s next. | PS4 |
| - | Unscored ~ | Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a flawed, but fascinating, reimagining of a classic | PS4 |
| - | Unscored ~ | I loved this. I loved this a lot. I loved almost every part of it. Even the parts that weren't great, I was still enjoying myself and the parts that were great that were just... Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a game that can and will be torn down by many people for its business model and its minor shortcomings, but it will also be held up by many others for the sheer love and joy of it all. | PS4 |
| - | 100 ~ | Better than players could have ever hoped for, Final Fantasy VII Remake strikes a fantastic, resonant chord that will leave long time fans and newbies alike wholly satisfied. | PS4 |
| - | 100 ~ | I don't necessarily see FFVII Remake as a replacement to the original game, as remakes generally are. It's a complement to it, where the developers have built on the world and characters in such a way that it's like two sides of a single coin - for me, at least, without one, the other doesn't exist. | PS4 |
| - | 100 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake is a video game experience we only get every once in a while, and it’s one of the best titles I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. | PS4 |
| - | 100 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake is the best JRPG from Square since Final Fantasy VII. | PS4 |
| - | 100 ~ | Square Enix tells a smaller, more personal Final Fantasy 7 tale and marries it with a smart mashup of action and RPG gameplay to deliver a must-play experience. | PS4 |
| - | 100 ~ | An utter joy to play from start to finish, packed with memorable scenes, moustache-twirling baddies, and epic battles. The first part of Final Fantasy VII Remake isn't just polished, it's opulent. | PS4 |
| - | 98 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake could have gone south very quickly but instead, Square Enix has crafted an authentic experience that brings the world of Midgar and its cast to life in new ways. The story has never been told in a better format, the combat is fun and addictive and the promise of more to come makes this first chapter so much more worthwhile. If this is the start of things, I can’t wait to see where it goes from there. | PS4 |
| - - Italian | 95 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake is an extraordinary game: not only as a magnificent reinterpretation of a classic, but also because of the courage instilled in its writing and perfect conception. A great title from Square-Enix, you have to give it some respect. | PS4 |
| - | 93 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake is a masterful modernization of the series' classic formula. The game is an extremely solid JRPG that looks, sounds and plays great, despite some pacing issues and linearity. That said, the unexpected story twists may sour the experience a bit for those who expected a faithful remake. | PS4 |
| - | 92 ~ | It might have taken years and years but we finally got the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It might not yet be complete but it's incredible and has been well worth the wait. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | Taking one of the most genre defining and well loved games of all time and rebuilding it from the ground up was a tall order, but Square Enix pulled it off with modernized gameplay and a fleshing out of the world and many characters compared to the original. While only featuring a portion of the story fans know and love, Final Fantasy VII Remake still manages to feels like a complete game, yet still part of a larger narrative to come, and will have fans waiting anxiously for the next entry as soon as they finish. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | For now, this is the best Cloud gaming experience money can buy. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | I kind of agonized over rating Final Fantasy VII Remake. It's going to garner a lot of discussion from people who are both blown away by the new treatment and disappointed by it, and those feelings are not mutually exclusive. In the end — after thinking on it for some time and removing nostalgia from the equation entirely — I came to the conclusion that this world is full of powerful characters and a setting that's worth remembering: remake or not. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake is an ambitious retelling that feels right at home in the modern era. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | Much like its predecessor, Final Fantasy 7 Remake is far from perfect. Its linear design and difficulty spikes may be off-putting for some, but stick through the rough bits and there's another incredible story and wonderful world waiting. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | A beautifully crafted and entertaining reimagining of a classic that brings renewed life to its story and characters | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake is simply stunning, and a breath-taking masterclass in recreating something beloved for a new – and old – audience. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | Putting the few slight issues aside, Final Fantasy VII Remake stuns with how it expands on the original. At the same time, it takes its own risks and creates its own footsteps. Final Fantasy VII Remake is beautiful, engrossing, and hard to pass up. This game is meant for both fans and newcomers, no matter how learned, and the sheer level of time and effort put into this reimagining truly shows through and through. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | At the end of it all, even under immense scrutiny and in spite of some disappointing shortcomings, there's no getting around the fact that I had a giant grin on my face for just about the entirety of Final Fantasy VII Remake. It's an enjoyable enough game if you're a casual fan of Final Fantasy or action RPGs, but if you're in it for the fandom you may just have your mind blown. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a masterpiece, a love letter to FF7 fans, an homage to one of the greatest games of all time. | PS4 |
| - | 90 ~ | If you’re willing to keep an open mind, you’ll be able to enjoy Final Fantasy VII Remake for what it is at its core: a gorgeous, well-made, and fun RPG that successfully retells one of the best video game stories ever told with a few twists. | PS4 |
| - | 88 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake finds a satisfying balance between innovation and tradition, delivering flashy battles and fun systems mixed with nods for old-school fans | PS4 |
| - | 85 ~ | 23 years after Final Fantasy 7 changed the gaming landscape forever, Final Fantasy 7 Remake seeks to revisit Midgar on a scale we could only dream of. | PS4 |
| - Castielle | 85 ~ | A very slow start turns into a non stop thrill ride through the reimagined world of Final Fantasy VII. Fans of the franchise will feel right at home in a game that is likely to dethrone Resident Evil 2 as the reigning king of modern remakes. If it weren't for a combat system that is downright frustrating at times, it would be a must buy for nearly every RPG enthusiast. As it stands now, this is a day one buy for Final Fantasy fans, but for everyone else mileage may vary. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake isn't the retelling of a cult classic that you're expecting it to be. It's a lengthy and deliberately slow-paced walk down the Midgar memory lane that leisurely basks within the warm glow of nostalgia, but at the same time it's an exhilarating and cinematic explosion of action that not only celebrates the impact of the game which rewrote the rulebook for an entire industry in 1997, but also everything else that followed in its genre-defining wake. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | If you can break through the more sluggish and unenjoyable moments of the game, you’ll find an absolute gem of an action-RPG shining at the core, a promise of what Square Enix can do with role-playing games in this generation and generations to come. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | The big question for Final Fantasy VII Remake for many is going to be: was it worth the wait? For me, the answer is yes. I teared up at several points, I enjoyed the combat for the most part and the experience of being able to explore Midgar with these fantastic characters in such a visually updated fashion was an absolutely amazing experience. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | Final Fantasy 7 Remake's dull filler and convoluted additions can cause it to stumble, but it still breathes exciting new life into a classic while standing as a great RPG all its own. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | Fans will be arguing about it for decades to come but for now this is a surprisingly daring reinvention of the legendary original, although it's a shame its biggest flaws were largely avoidable. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | Measured against the immense expectations that surround it, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a great game that will inevitably disappoint some fans. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | At its best, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a loving, painstakingly meticulous reimagining of the original. While not every new facet is equally inspired, it remains an exuberant reminder of why it captivated many so long ago. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | All things considered, it’s still a polished and worthwhile affair, doing many things for many different people. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake is a powerful experience, and signals the first chapter in what is beginning to reveal itself as a considerable epic. | PS4 |
| - | 80 ~ | The journey is completely worth it. | PS4 |
| - | 75 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake has converted this detractor into a believer. Even with its handful of issues, the richly detailed world and story are something to behold. | PS4 |
| - | 70 ~ | Final Fantasy 7 Remake sets out to fully re-imagine a classic RPG with improved combat and an expanded story. Unfortunately, it's hurt by weak side quests and a surplus of padding, and its biggest change is bound to be controversial. It's one of the most coherent and enjoyable Final Fantasy releases in years, but it's also likely to be one of the most divisive. | PS4 |
| - | 60 ~ | Final Fantasy VII Remake manages to balance the introduction of new concepts with faithfully recreations of the original game's most memorable aspects, but it also unnecessarily pads out this first installment in a larger story with too much downtime between its most striking moments. | PS4 |
| - | 60 ~ | A breathtaking but bloated retread of a classic | PS4 |
