- Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is a decent way to play an often overlooked PS1 RPG along with its accompanying SNES text adventure, but it doesn’t do a whole lot to justify a purchase if you already own the original. In fact, it actually performs worse in some cases. Still, the new options like fast forward and disabling encounters are convenient, and finally having a way to play Radical Dreamers is awesome.
David Flynn · Jul 08, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - In all Chrono Cross is an intriguing cult classic brought back for fans old and new alike. Even despite the touch ups the graphics are clearly that of an older game thanks to the specific style that they chose when originally making Cross, and it isn’t a perfect remaster, some issues do appear in performance (FPS drops occur occasionally).
Camrin Santchi · May 03, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition is a great game to own, albeit being too late for its remaster and release, coming out seems like a quick nostalgia cash-in just to get something out of their fans. But if you’re a longtime fan that seeks to relive the nostalgia or experience Radical Dreamers for the first time, it’s a game you should pick up and will enjoy in the long run.
Ray Remigio · Apr 28, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition does an excellent job of presenting to a new audience a period in Square Enix history that many may have forgotten. It achieves this by including two fantastic games in one package. However, there is little doubt that it might have been better as a remaster.
SnowWhite · Apr 13, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you've never played Chrono Cross, you should, and there's little reason not to take advantage of the upgrades available in The Radical Dreamers Edition. If you already have access to the original edition, whether it's worth the double-dip comes down to how determined you are to play Radical Dreamers; I'd wager it isn't worth the price of admission. But regardless, however you do it, you should play Chrono Cross. It's just a shame this remaster isn't all it could have been.
Jamie Lovett · Apr 11, 2022 Reviewed on PS5, PS4Read full review - Chrono Cross is not just a personal favourite, but also a deeply personal game, and I have many emotional ties to it. Having the opportunity to play it on modern consoles, even in a flawed form, is a tremendous boon. I hope this remaster will satisfy other fans and bring in new fans that might not have had the chance to play it before.
Izzy Parsons · Apr 07, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - For fans of the Chrono series or simply retro gaming enthusiasts, picking up Chrono Cross seems like a no-brainer, but the edges are too rough for anyone that only has a casual interest in this era of Square Enix’s back catalog. It’s certainly worth looking at for the story and the fantastic cast of weird and wonderful NPCs, but with an obtuse combat system and shoddy visuals, this rerelease has us radically dreaming about a Trials of Mana-style remake instead.
SebastiaanRaats · Apr 06, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is simply a remaster of one of the best JRPGs of all time rather than a remake, and it’s not the most exhaustive one at that. But still, there’s a great game here, and it’s never looked, sounded or played better.
Richard Seagrave · Apr 05, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is a remaster that should have happened years ago, and I’m so glad that the JRPG classic has finally received the respect it deserves in the modern landscape. You seldom see it discussed alongside other genre greats in the mainstream zeitgeist, but perhaps that perception will change now Serge’s iconic adventure is available on a selection of platforms with myriad improvements. Not all of its changes are for the best, but are easy enough to accept when the underlying game is still so masterful.
Jade King · Apr 05, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Since there’s no way to get Chrono Cross legally on any platform introduced in the last decade other than The Radical Dreamers Edition, you’ve just got to deal with it.
