Final Fantasy VII Rebirth review

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues the remake trilogy after Cloud and his companions escape Midgar. Square Enix's Steam page calls it a standalone entry, so new players can start here, and it describes a vibrant, expansive world you cross on chocobo. The PC version supports up to 4K resolution and 120 FPS, variable refresh rate and NVIDIA DLSS. Players with Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade save data on the same PC can claim Leviathan and Ramuh summon materia. It costs $49.99, less than most new releases here. The main barriers are hardware and story: it lists 16 GB of RAM and 155 GB of storage as the minimum, the largest install on the list, and its plot is the middle chapter of three. Steam shows no Metascore for it, so we scored it on documented features only.
