The verdict
A faithful, prettier remaster of a PSP-era FF7 prequel with a moving Zack story and ending, but repetitive combat and 300 filler missions. Skip it if you want gameplay depth or haven't played FF7.
Great for
FF7 fans who want Zack's emotional backstory and can tolerate PSP-era gameplay
Main risk
Repetitive combat and 300 copy-paste missions make the gameplay a slog for a high price

Controller input bugs on PC

“It always registers as you holding down LB for using materia, even when you're not doing it, so you can't auto-attack while playing on controller.”
