Crisis Core: FF VII Reunion - PlayStation 5
Completed June 19th
Crisis Core Reunion is a prequel to Final Fantasy VII and is an HD Remaster of the original Crisis Core that was originally released on the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld console.
For a number years I have wanted a port of the original on current consoles as I prefer games on the big screen rather than a small handheld screen.
I have played a little of the original PSP version so I have an idea of how the game plays, but now that the game is available on non handheld consoles I can finally give the title a fair attempt on the big screen.
Currently I am writing this after a brief playthrough of the first chapter and so far I am enjoying the game.
*Update*
After further progress of the game I have decided to retire the game and move on. There is something that just does not click with me. Maybe because the game was originally designed for handhelds and has a rather byte sized feel to the mission structure or maybe I am just bad at the combat are the reasons I feel like retiring the game.
I do not dislike the game, but I do not love it either and I know the story and how the game ends, so I just do not feel compelled to continue with the game.
Still, I am glad I have the game in my collection and it is there should I decide to continue it one day.
*Further update*
I decided to play a little more just to give the game one more chance and it is starting to click now and I am finding my self enjoying the game more now - so it looks like, for now, I will continue with Crisis Core. Maybe the last time I played it I was not in the right frame of mind to enjoy the title.
*Final update*
Yeah, maybe I was just having a bad day when I thought about retiring the game - as having now completed the game I can say it was a fantastic experience and I am glad it had a remastered update. I always wanted to experience the game on a TV, as I think having a grand experience like Crisis Core stuck on a little had held screen would have been rather unfortunate.
