Crisis Core Reunion was an essential game to play for me, especially with a Rebirth being released recently. Zack is a lovable oaf, Genesis is an interesting villain, and some other familiar faces are overall the best parts of the game. Some chapters drag on a little too long, Genesis trying to reveal his plans through poems is somewhat annoying, but I still enjoyed my play through.

For a PSP game, the combat still holds up, yeah it’s button mashy like Kingdom Hearts but it’s part of the fun, and the Materia system is still the best.

If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy 7, or are thinking about playing Remake, play this game.
