Okay, so there I was, scrolling through the PlayStation Store, right? Maybe it was a Tuesday. Or a Friday. Honestly, days blur together when you’re on the hunt for epic game deals. And guess what? Sales. Always sales. Does the PS Store even sleep? Nah, probably not. But hey, not complaining. Sometimes you stumble upon gems, like this cool remake of an old PSP game.
So, imagine this. Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – what’s the full deal again? Right — Reunion! It’s chopped down by 60%. Yep, you heard that right. Off its regular $49.99, it’s now hanging out at $19.99. If you’re one of those folks hooked on prequels… or just want a piece of history, you’ll wanna snag it quick. The clock’s ticking, offer’s gone by August 14, real early in the A.M. Crazy early, actually, like 2:59 a.m. ET. Who’s even awake then?
Anyway, this game—Zack Fair’s story. Names that send tingles down your spine if you’re into the whole Final Fantasy universe. Heroes here, saviors there, a girl who might just keep the planet from going poof. Deep stuff. Not just another game; it’s like diving headfirst into Zack’s world, connecting dots to Cloud and all that jazz. Makes my head spin thinking about it.
Oh, visuals? Yeah, totally revamped, HD-style with shiny new 3D models that actually look, y’know, like they’re from this decade. Plus, there’s this fresh soundtrack that gives you goosebumps. Hats off to Takeharu Ishimoto for that.
So back in 2022—feels like ages ago—the game dropped and critics ate it up. Metacritic? Solid 78 from 81 reviews. Our take? A whopping 9 out of 10. Not too shabby, right?
And here’s the kicker—Square Enix sometimes fumbles these remasters, let’s be real. But with Crisis Core Reunion, they nailed it. Could this mean better remaster care in the future? Fingers crossed, because, frankly, the nostalgia trip is worth the wait.
