Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is what a mainline Final Fantasy game should be. It’s showing us what could be, and where the series could go if given similar freedoms. I sincerely hope that when the remake project concludes, we get to see new stories told in the Final Fantasy pantheon with this level of polish. As for now, Rebirth is clearly the grandest feather in Square Enix’s cap, and it sets the high mark for whatever comes next.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is more than just a remake - it is a reinterpretation of a classic that catapults the legacy of FF7 into the modern age. The already emotional story of the original is expanded here with even deeper characters and unexpected twists. The gameplay, which was already excellent in the remake, has been refined in some places and expanded to include the gigantic exploration section. In the areas of video and audio, a PC game can always score points with the right hardware. But even without the latest components, the world of Gaia looks simply wonderful. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to the world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, you can expect an epic adventure that redefines the genre and sets the bar for future remakes. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is undoubtedly a must-have for all fans of the franchise - a successful balancing act between nostalgia and forward-looking gameplay that will most likely exceed expectations. With all the bombastic new features, I'm already curious to see whether the final part of the remake trilogy will be able to top it.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is excellent part in the middle of this series. It maybe suffers from the lack of a proper introduction and ending, or inconsistent pacing, but it is still an event, which you should not miss, if you take it serious about the RPG genre.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is still an amazing game that looks even better on PC. While there are some weird restrictions in the PC settings, it's the best way to play the second part in what is so far a great trilogy of remakes.

The visuals are amazing, and the world is stunning, especially once you get to Costa Del Sol and the Golden Saucer areas which are absolutely breathtaking. The lighting has been adjusted, and the game’s overall rendering of light is significantly improved and the updated areas and cutscenes are presented with even greater clarity than before.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth lands on PC just under a year after its release on PlayStation 5, and the news is that it's a really good porting. Admittedly, it's not a flawless piece of work, but neither is it as bad as the previous chapter in the trilogy.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is often incredible and a top-tier experience in so many ways; however, some of its reliance on padding the experience with its open world and reliance on far too many mini-games, doesn’t always pay off.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a game that exceeds the previous game in the series in every conceivable way. It looks better, it sounds better, there are more minigames (WAY more), the entire adventure is significantly longer and, most importantly, it hits many of the emotional highs and lows of the (almost) unbeatable Final Fantasy VII story. We meet more of the main characters of the original game in this outing, and they are more fleshed out than ever before.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth stands out as a significant reinvention of a classic, ambitiously expanding and reimagining its narrative, characters, and setting. The PC port elevates the experience with technical improvements and tweakable options, though there are still minor issues, such as a lack of support for certain technologies. Still, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a remarkable title that celebrates the legacy of the original while charting new paths. It’s an imperfect journey, but one filled with memorable moments that reaffirm the impact and relevance of this universe for fans new and old.
