“Chrono Cross is better than Chrono Trigger Yeah I said it, whatCHA gonna do about it”
“Chrono Cross isn't just a sequel to one of the best video games ever made, Chrono Trigger, but it also takes a different approach within the same world. Instead of going back and forth between time, you play as our…”
“In terms of a remaster, it's not the best. The biggest draw here is the fact that you don't need a new game+ save file to speed up the game. Aside from that the models look better, but not much else has really changed.…”

“Do not believe the reviews, it is better than the PS1 version. No texture vibrations (which is a childhood-illness of PS1 games), and on the Nexus you can find very good texture upscale mods and fixes, which makes it a…”
“Gorgeous to Behold, Musically Impeccable, Thoroughly Pants in Every Single Other Respect Chrono Cross is a beautiful, unique game with a lot of interesting ideas and quite possibly the single best soundtrack of all…”

“Brillliant game, brilliant music, a classic of jrpgs. If you like older jrpgs i strongly suggest you play it. the story and characters rely heavily on having played chrono trigger though specifically the final boss so…”

“TLDR: A disappointing follow-up to a classic. Bloated with throwaway party members, a confusing narrative that squanders its origin ties, and combat too shallow to compensate. PROS: ➕Good port ➕Quality of life “Cheats”…”
“Playing on Linux , Works great for now 20 hours in the game, This is wonderful gem from old Squaresoft golden days i loved it since original release on PSX, Now i am playing with a lot of popular mods to spice up…”

“ive had no issues with stability and ive no issues with bugs . its chrono cross and its a great game and if you have not played it you should .”
“This is a good update of the classic RPG Chrono Cross. It's rather resource-intensive, but has fixed some of the bugs in the original, and the translation has also been improved in many places. Whether you're an…”
“I would say a fair price for a timeless nostalgia No more bug, the arts and graphic becomes much better All in all, if you want to experience a better way of chrono cross without PIP bug, try this one Also the game…”

“This game is unplayable. Its the only game currently on my list of games that I cannot complete reasonably due to constant freezing and crashing. I've done all the patches and tweaks I know to do other than modding the…”
“Still don't recommend this. Tons of crashes and they will vary from freezing touching an enemy on the field maps to the game just straight up crashing to desktop after touching enemies in the Viper Manor. Viper Manor is…”
“Great game, but this version of it keeps freezing up, no matter what I try. Save your money and play via emulator or something.”

“Been playing since it first released in 1999. While not as good as it's predecessor I feel it gets far to much hate. This is a great JRPG and fully deserving of it's Chrono title in my opinion! My only real complaint is…”
