Not my first time playing Chrono Trigger. Still such a fantastic game after all these years. The story and world-building, the arts, the soundtracks, and the gameplay mechanics are all top-tier even compared to modern games nowadays. The combined tech systems are rare even for games these days, and the dialogues change depending on characters that you have on your party. I was fully immersed playing it.

The downside is the Lost Sanctum side quest, which I'm also pretty sure was not a part of the original, and it’s the most tedious side quest. I dropped it halfway through because I was sure it wasn’t worth it.

PS. I played this on Steam Deck and it works out of the box without any issues.

ive played this game now for 30 years since it was new on super nintendo and now on pc and it has been a beloved and comfortable old friend. if youve never played please take the time.

This port has improved over time. I would say at launch it was pretty awful and had very little quality issues along with crashes. Now It's functional for the most part. It occasionally crashes from time to time which is still annoying, but it's whatever. If it bothers you that this version crashes I would just emulate it rather than pick this up.

I'm giving you an honest assessment. Love Chrono Trigger, but this port is pretty good for the most part.
