    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the definitive version of one of the best games ever made, and the inclusion of a new story chapter makes it that much more worthy of the title. In 2029, when the second half of the remake finally comes out, Square Enix will have (hopefully) figured out how to incorporate the DualSense 5 controller a little better, but by then, we might be talking about the DualSense 6, and the game will be uploaded to and played solely within our minds, so it may not matter anyway.

    INTERmission is a classy addition to one of last year’s best games, which itself runs a little better now on PS5. It’s great to see Yuffie again, brought up-to-date to match the rest of the cast and providing her uniquely wide-eyed perspective on Midgar. We’re ready to move on from the great city now, but this is a fine farewell party.

    It is a pleasant surprise to find in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade a game that takes advantage of the new generation of consoles, in this case, the PS5. The game loads amazingly fast, both the performance and the graphics options look flawless and the Yuffie expansion is an entertaining addition to the product.

    Final Fantasy VII Intergrade proves that Square Enix can make the most of its past to produce such a quality game that we can't wait to see the sequel.

    Overall, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a solid package. It's not quite worth buying at full price if you've already played the original, but the upgraded original game and the DLC combine to create an excellent experience. Remake still holds up as a really fun game a year later, and Yuffie's side story shows that the developers still have plenty of ideas on how to keep the combat fresh for a sequel. If this is your first time playing Final Fantasy VII Remake, then Intergrade is absolutely the version to get.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake, only a year old, gets a next-gen remake, and the results are visually stunning. The new Yuffie-based Intermission chapter is a ton of fun, and its lighter tone demonstrates ways that the Remake saga can move away from the sullen tone of the first game. Bouncy and full of life, Yuffie brings some much needed levity to the proceedings, shining a new light on the game as a whole.

    Intergrade not only reintroduces a fan-favorite character ahead of her fated meeting with Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, and Barrett, but it also lets us play with a few new mechanics and fleshes out a little more of the periphery of the main game’s narrative.

    I've never played a Final Fantasy game but I've heard by many that Final Fantasy VII was one of the most important videogames ever made.
    Final    I've never played a Final Fantasy game but I've heard by many that Final Fantasy VII was one of the most important videogames ever made.
    Final Fantasy VII Remake was my first game in the series and... oh boy, where do I begin!
    The story is good in my opinion and even though the ending is divisive, I liked it personally and I think that it's too early to criticize it.
    The main characters are some of my favorites in a videogame! Most of the side-characters are amazing as well, especially Jessie, Sephiroth and Reno.
    The combat system is excellent! It's like a combination of Hack 'n' Slash & Turn Based at the same time, there are 4 completely different party members to control, tons of different skills, items and builds to use, it's very deep and organic, it feels awesome and it looks phenomenal!
    The RPG elements and the Materia system are just wonderful!
    The bosses are some of the best I've ever encountered in a videogame.
    The music is fantastic for sure and it fits the visuals perfectly!
    Visually, this is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played! The lighting, the animations, the textures & the setting are breathtaking!
    Lastly, the set pieces and the visual representation are the best I've ever seen! Some cutscenes look like they are out of a CGI movie and there are so many jaw-dropping moments!
    I do have few minor complaints though; the textures look bad at times, some chapters feel significantly longer than they should've been (Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 14), and the side-quests are uninteresting.

    Pros:
    + Interesting story
    + Awesome characters
    + Flawless gameplay
    + Outstanding set pieces
    + Incredible music & boss fights
    + Absolutely gorgeous visuals

    Cons:
    - Texture issues
    - Minor pacing issues
    - Weak side-quests

    Narrative: 7/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Content: 8/10
    Characters: 10/10
    Music: 10/10
    Graphics/Audio: 10/10

    Final Rating: 10/10

    Simply put, Final Fantasy VII Remake is one my favorite videogames of all time and I can't wait for the next installments.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Yes, to both fans and newcomers.    … Expand

The combat is incredibly fun, the story is fun, although sometimes it is hard to follow, but it will keep you hooked in, the soundtrack is incredible. There were mostly 2 things i didn't like in the game:
    1) The Illusion of open world-FF7 Remake fills its world with boring and unoriginal side quests, so that the game would be longer, through my journey i haven't found a side quest, that had me interested.
    2) The Voice Acting is bad, average at best, the characters have to grunt every 5 minutes, but when the voice acting is at its worse, it is kinda funny
    Overall the game is a flawed, but fun experience, that lays the foundation for the next two parts, which i am excited for    … Expand
