The review embargo for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was lifted today, and many respected publications have revealed their scores for this highly anticipated game.
Here's a list highlighting scores from some well-known websites:
4 / 5 - Eurogamer
Rebirth is a playful take on an emo classic that's bloated but full of character in a bid to justify its own existence.
9 / 10.0 - IGN
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth impressively builds off of what Remake set in motion, both as a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenges and an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long.
9 / 10 - Metro GameCentral
An object lesson in how to turn an old classic into a modern masterpiece, that surpasses even Final Fantasy 7 Remake in terms of appealing to both veteran fans and complete newcomers.
4.5 / 5 - GamesRadar+
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth delivers all the charm of Remake while making the needed improvements to side-content to ensure the original's step-out moment is worth taking once more.
8.5 / 10.0 - Game Informer
The best of Remake exists in Rebirth, but the various open-world areas surrounding it – the parts that make Rebirth unique from its predecessor – sometimes miss the mark.
Polygon
Rebirth is worth your time, but I’m not sure if it’s worth as much of your time as it asks for. It’s a game that does many things right and does right by its weighty legacy — but it also makes it clear that for the future final installment, Square Enix should reconsider how necessary it is for these games to be so big.
8 / 10 - GameSpot
Rebirth keeps its narrative focus on characters while bringing a new dimension to combat, but it stumbles in pivotal moments.
8 / 10 - Shacknews
While there is a lot to love in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, it left me disappointed in its main narrative. I wish it was more focused on telling the story set out in Remake and its constant need to push the kitchen sink into each plot beat wore on my resolve throughout the game.
9.5 / 10.0 - PlayStation Universe
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth takes the foundations of Remake and expands on them, adding more control to combat, more places to explore, and more ways to dig deeper into the world and the story it tells. Whether in Graphics or Performance Mode, the quality of the experience remains the same: top tier presentation with exceptional gameplay. Rebirth is an early shoe-in for Game of the Year.
8 / 10 - Push Square
If you can push through the tedium of its open world busywork and padded storytelling, there's a great sequel at the heart of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It retains all of Remake's most important strengths, but builds on an already brilliant combat system, and excels at showcasing an iconic RPG setting. If you enjoyed Remake and you have fond memories of the PS1 original, you'll likely love every minute of Rebirth's memorable, character-focused adventure.
On Metacritic, the game currently has a critics' score of 93.
Furthermore, OpenCritic highlights its strong performance with an impressive "Top Critic Average" of 93 and a commendable "Critics Recommend" rating of 100%.
