Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Reviews
I have to say, I enjoyed Episode: INTERmission a lot more than I expected. Yuffie has gone from one of my least favourite to one of my favourite characters.
Intergrade continues the legacy of Final Fantasy VII with some great new content, but those coming from the PS4 version will have less to celebrate about.
In the end, INTERmission is some pretty fun gaming, but it’s not worth spending another $60 on Intergrade unless you’re actually interested in replaying the game on PS5.
Ultimately, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a better version of Final Fantasy VII Remake. While some of the improvements may not seem noticeable, the ones that are, are great. Saves from the PS4 can be saved and imported into this new version using in-game options, so you can carry over your progress and trophies if you decide to jump back into the game.
Final Fantasy VII Remake just got even better. With the new options in the free PS5 upgrade, you can choose between graphics and performance. The new DLC adds about 5 hours of gameplay starring Yuffie for a reasonable price. It's long enough and it adds enough, but just not enough to buy the entire package anew if needed.

Playing this game in its “Intergrade” form is such a privilege that is truly magnified when you get to experience 60fps and almost no loading times. Anyone who owns a PS5, whether replaying the game or a first-timer, would surely enjoy this release in its most polished state, the way it was meant to be played, fixed doors and all. As a whole, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a complete experience. They’ve improved on the visual fidelity that corrected a lot of the hiccups from the PS4 version while adding the INTERmission side content enables the story to open up to a much larger world away from the Midgar-centric stage.
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.
No matter how you play it, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a stunning success. While it doesn’t take as much advantage of the PS5 as I’d have liked, this is still the best version of this excellent remake. I’m a huge fan of the bold new direction they’re taking this version of Final Fantasy VII in, one which has even a veteran of the original game on the edge of his seat waiting for part two. Whether you played Final Fantasy VII in 1997, 2020, anywhere in between, or even if you never played the original, you owe it to yourself to check out our favorite game of 2020.
About a year and half ago Final Fantasy VII Remake finally achieved something that the brains behind this franchise have been trying to do for quite some time, make an Action/JRPG game that includes all the beloved elements of Final Fantasy while also providing something totally new and modern. Now PC gamers have the chance to experience the definitive edition of this game (Intergrade) but with the caveat that there are some performance issues and we don't get as much customising options as we like to have in a PC game.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade provided an interesting part of the story, as it was telling a side of the character Yuffie, and despite its shortness, the game provided a beautiful experience and an enjoyable addition if you liked the full game, then this addition adds a lot of fun things.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is a great opportunity to introduce you to one of the most important RPGs in history. The graphic and technical aspect is spectacular and the combat system is a marvel. Some decisions in the level design take it away from being a masterpiece, but it is not far off.

A faulty and barebones PC port of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, which was originally released on the PlayStation 5.
Final Fantasy VII Remake: Episode INTERmission allows us to return, a year later, to Midgar, to have a bridge for what will be the sequel to the first part of the remake.

Despite a conversion certainly not too elaborate, the PC version of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade becomes the best place to enjoy the new epic of Cloud and company.

While the pace does drag a bit once you make your way to Shinra Headquarters, things pick up in a big way towards the finale, bringing all of the game's standout features back to the forefront. It all coalesces into a thrilling and heartfelt experience that will satisfy longtime fans of the franchise, and while I do wish there was a bigger emphasis on story and character, at times, I still had a blast returning to this world and spending time with this delightful duo, and Remake's second chapter can't get here soon enough.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a port with deleterious issues on several levels. And its narrative restructuring, while better developing some main characters, also follows new directions that leave “fleas behind the ears”, in addition to introducing new characters and some unpublished scenes of little use. However, the balance is much more positive. This RPG is a must for fans of the franchise and the genre in general, and is also recommended, with reservations, for those who are fans of the PlayStation original in particular.

Where Final Fantasy VII Remake just missed some points to be a masterpiece in our eyes, the Intergrade DLC elevates quite a bit. Hopefully Square Enix will be able to keep that up, and they will be able to curb the length of the next two games. Still, we enjoyed ourselves for the most part, and the interesting and special story of the base game manages to hold us enough to get us all the way through the game.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is one of the best works of Square Enix, and it’s worth considerable time and constant requests from fans. The entire bundle overflows with remarkable minutes of life united with a complex dynamic fighting frame and soundtrack which supplements all conceivable circumstances.
