Square Enix tells a smaller, more personal Final Fantasy 7 tale and marries it with a smart mashup of action and RPG gameplay to deliver a must-play experience. Its PS5 version realizes the world of Midgar with stunning new detail.
As far as Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade INTERmission goes as a whole, I’m really glad it exists. Yuffie is a character worth exploring on her own, as the enhanced focus on the Wutai and Shinra conflict in the Remake needed fleshing out. To be frank I wouldn’t mind seeing another one of these, say for Vincent, at some point.
Should you play this game? That depends. If you haven’t played Final Fantasy 7 Remake before this, you absolutely must. The PS5 version is the definitive way to do so. The upgraded framerate alone makes a strong case in Intergrade’s favor. Although if you already own the original, the upgrade isn’t new enough for a second playthrough. I’m playing it a second time, but you totally don’t have to.

33bits | Euyen Esquefa Pons | 75 / 100 | 06-14-2021 | Episode INTERmission is a great letter of introduction for Yuffie and the skills she will have -we assume- in episode 2 of this great project that is the remake of Final Fantasy VII. She will make a great pair with Sonon, both narratively and playably. Unfortunately, part of the expansion feels a bit of unnecessary padding, and it wouldn’t be bad to let us control Yuffie’s friend. Still, remarkable content that if we’re fans of the Remake, we’ll enjoy. | Read review |
Atomix | Sebastian Quiroz | 95 / 100 | 06-17-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a worthy return to Midgar with a number of visual enhancements. The Yuffie chapter is amazing to play and a worthy way to look forward to the sequel to this reimagining of Cloud and co. | Read review |
Attack of the Fanboy | Dean James | 5 / 5 stars | 06-17-2021 | Not only improving on the visuals and giving players a much requested Photo Mode, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade also adds the stellar Yuffie focused Intermission DLC that is an absolute must play for fans of the original and new game alike. | Read review |
Bazimag | Sina Golabzade | 10 / 10 | 06-16-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade adds a nice new short story with memorable characters and moments to the original package and fixes all the technical problems with the original one. There is also a new mini-game which you’ll probably sink a lot of time into and the action is even more bombastic than the original release. | Read review |
But Why Tho? | Nikko Soto | 9 / 10 | 06-14-2021 | Ultimately, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade offers a fun and enjoyable new adventure with new characters and new game modes that improve performance and graphics. While nothing new is added to the base game, the new modes will certainly make either replaying the game or starting it for the first time worthwhile. The DLC adds more to the story for new and old fans to enjoy. The upgraded version and DLC will certainly leave fans excited for what’s to come in future games. | Read review |
Cerealkillerz | Gabriel Bogdan | 7 / 10 | 06-22-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake INTERmission offers a short introduction into the world of Yuffie Kisaragi, which most players can easily skip. The lack of new elements to the main game and the short and generic trip through midgar, make it really hard to recommend this DLC, even with all the technical benefits from the PS5 Upgrade. | Read review |
Checkpoint Gaming | Charlie Kelly | 8 / 10 | 06-13-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake and its DLC carry the feeling of majesty throughout. Yes, it’s at times arguably unnecessary. Yes, it’s ridiculous that this even exists. Still, I can’t wait to be along for every turn of the future Final Fantasy VII ride. Bumps and all. | Read review |
COGconnected | James Paley | 86 / 100 | 06-12-2021 | Should you play this game? That depends. If you haven’t played Final Fantasy 7 Remake before this, you absolutely must. The PS5 version is the definitive way to do so. The upgraded framerate alone makes a strong case in Intergrade’s favor. Although if you already own the original, the upgrade isn’t new enough for a second playthrough. I’m playing it a second time, but you totally don’t have to. As for the Intermission DLC, it serves as an excellent appetizer while we wait for part two. By the time you’re done with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, that wait will feel like an eternal one. | Read review |
Cubed3 | Steven Mattern | 9 / 10 | 07-15-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a complete package, telling the story of Midgar from two different perspectives. Both the main campaign following Cloud and his journey, and Yuffie’s own adventure, are well told with tight and responsive gameplay along with an impressive graphical update. These tales each leave exciting questions to be answered, and this reviewer can’t wait to see what awaits Cloud and his friends beyond the City of Mako. | Read review |
Cultured Vultures | Mike Worby | 8 / 10 | 06-14-2021 | Though Intermission reuses assets from the base game, it offers enough new and exciting material to more than justify the price of admission for Final Fantasy fans. | Read review |
DASHGAMER.com | Dan Rizzo | Recommended | 06-13-2021 | It’s established an illustrious place in the hearts of many that have yearned to see their favourite ex-soldier, and his distinguishable buster carve out another, well deserved place in the annals of Final Fantasy’s vast and revered legacy. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is an essential. | Read review |
Destructoid | Chris Carter | 8 / 10 | 06-11-2021 | As far as Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade INTERmission goes as a whole, I’m really glad it exists.

To be frank I wouldn’t mind seeing another one of these, say for Vincent, at some point. | Read review |
Everyeye.it | Antonello Bello | 9.5 / 10 | 06-17-2021 | There are several reasons that lead us to consider Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade the definitive role of the already superlative action RPG that last year saw the reborn capital of Mako Energy. If the new lighting system devised by Square Enix and the properly redesigned textures have solved the vast majority of the problems that plagued the solid PS4 version, the almost zero loading times and the 60 fps guaranteed by performance mode represent a valid incentive to return once again to the streets of Midgar and be bewitched by its beauty. As for episode intermission, the DLC has effectively reintroduced the adorable Yuffie, cementing its role within the seventh final fantasy, but in our opinion the paid content presents a rather exosive entrance ticket and far from proportionate to the low longevity. | Read review |
Game Informer | Jason Guisao | 8.8 / 10 | 06-16-2021 | Synergizing with Sonon is the icing on the cake and watching the two fighters unleash their fury on unsuspecting foes kept me on the edge of my seat | Read review |
Game Rant | Dalton Cooper | 4.5 / 5 stars | 06-22-2021 | Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is the definitive way to experience the game, and the Yuffie Intermission DLC is a must-play for fans. | Read review |
Game Revolution | Jason Faulkner | 5 / 5 stars | 06-21-2021 | In the original game, I visited Wutai more because I was a completionist than anything. But with the events of the base game and the Intermission DLC, I’m pumped to see Yuffie’s homeland, what’s going on with Avalanche there, what Shinra’s doing, and possibly the resolution with Don Coreno. When Final Fantasy 7 Remake was first announced, I was hoping for a game that was pretty much 1:1 with the original. However, Square Enix’s direction with FF7 Remake has impressed me with how the extra worldbuilding and tweaks to the plot have enhanced a game I already cherished. I can’t wait to play the second part, and this DLC was a great morsel to tide me over until then. | Read review |
Gameblog | Thomas Pillon | 8 / 10 | 06-17-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is as expected a strong next-gen upgarde on an already great game. Its 60fps animation and extra chapter makes it all the more delighful. Too bad you had to wait for it to see the true ending. Not fair, Square Enix | Read review |
Gamefa | آرش مرادی | 9 / 10 | 06-22-2021 | Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade – Episode: INTERmission is a title that all fans of the Final Fantasy series should experience. It doesn’t make any difference whether you’ve experienced it before on the eighth generation, it’s a great game, especially the new fictional section and its new character. | Read review |
GameGrin | Will Hance | 9 / 10 | 07-14-2021 | Final Fantasy Remake Intergrade is technically impressive. Fixing many of the original release’s technical issues while also improving the game for next-gen hardware. INTERmission offers an excellent character edition with that of Yuffie with some excellent gameplay to boot. Intergrade is simply more of the best parts of Final Fantasy VII Remake. | Read review |
Gamer Escape | Andrew Copeland | 9 / 10 | 06-11-2021 | Ultimately, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a better version of Final Fantasy VII Remake. While some of the improvements may not seem noticeable, the ones that are, are great. Saves from the PS4 can be saved and imported into this new version using in-game options, so you can carry over your progress and trophies if you decide to jump back into the game. | Read review |
Gamers Heroes | Johnny Hurricane | 7.5 / 10 | 06-18-2021 | Episode INTERmission is a fun few hours most Final Fantasy fans will enjoy. That being said, its short length and uncertain future make this DLC a hard sell at its current price point. | Read review |
GameSkinny | Josh Broadwell | 9 / 10 | 06-16-2021 | Intergrade’s Episode Yuffie may be short, but it’s a significant step up in Remake’s storytelling and renews my faith in the remaining chapters. | Read review |
GameSpace | Ed Orr | 9 / 10 | 06-25-2021 | Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is an amazing but very pricey upgrade to a game that quite rightly got our Game of the Year 2020. Graphically, the difference this time around is notiacable and the brand new DLC is a fresh new look an an adventure we’ve played out many times before. | Read review |
GameSpew | Kim Snaith | 8 / 10 | 06-10-2021 | Although Episode INTERmission doesn’t build much on Final Fantasy VII Remake‘s story, instead being mostly its own diversion, it’s an excellent excuse to revisit Midgar. Not that we need an excuse when it looks as fantastic as this. Yuffie makes an excellent protagonist; her combat is fast-paced and dynamic, and her straight-faced sidekick Sonon is the ideal antidote to her loveable but in-your-face personality. It may only be short, but there are plenty of side activities to keep you busy. Essentially, if you have Final Fantasy VII Remake and a PS5, then this DLC is not to be missed. | Read review |
GameSpot | Phil Hornshaw | 10 / 10 | 06-11-2021 | Square Enix tells a smaller, more personal Final Fantasy 7 tale and marries it with a smart mashup of action and RPG gameplay to deliver a must-play experience. Its PS5 version realizes the world of Midgar with stunning new detail. | Read review |
Gaming Nexus | Eric Hauter | 8.5 / 10 | 06-18-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake, only a year old, gets a next-gen remake, and the results are visually stunning. The new Yuffie-based Intermission chapter is a ton of fun, and its lighter tone demonstrates ways that the Remake saga can move away from the sullen tone of the first game. Bouncy and full of life, Yuffie brings some much needed levity to the proceedings, shining a new light on the game as a whole. | Read review |
GamingBolt | Shubhankar Parijat | 9 / 10 | 06-12-2021 | Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is an excellent enhancement of a great game, thanks to its technical improvements and a solid and meaty new chunk of content with Episode INTERmission. | Read review |
GamingTrend | David Flynn | 90 / 100 | 06-16-2021 | Intergrade is a decent upgrade to a fantastic game. While some of the new features like haptic feedback leave a lot to be desired, the INTERmission DLC is a blast with some truly incredible gameplay, music, and characters that makes this worth getting if you already own a PS5. | Read review |
God is a Geek | Mick Fraser | 9 / 10 | 06-18-2021 | If you fell in love with all over again with Cloud and co. in FF7 Remake, you’ll fall in love with Yuffie in Intermission. | Read review |
GotGame | David Poole | 9.5 / 10 | 06-19-2021 | Overall, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a great upgrade to an already amazing experience. The main game is even better with sharp visuals, enhanced performance, and speedy load times. We even get an extra photo mode and a challenging new boss fight that digs deeper into the lore. As for Episode INTERmission, the star attraction, it adds a fun new story to enjoy. Yuffie is a joy to witness, adding a charming ray of sunshine to the setting of Midgar. She gives us a small glimpse of the story’s future, but it seems like it’ll be worth the wait. Hopefully, Square Enix can manage to meet the expectations of fans for the next part. | Read review |
Hardcore Gamer | Kevin Dunsmore | 4 / 5 stars | 06-15-2021 | The sole piece of new content, Episode INTERmission, provides a decent 4-5 hour adventure starring Yuffie. While INTERmission doesn’t push the overarching VII Remake narrative forward, it’s a fun slice of content that delves deeper into VII Remake’s world. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade won’t make the wait for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part II any easier, but it does at least make its best moments look and play better than before. | Read review |
Hey Poor Player | Andrew Thornton | 4.5 / 5 stars | 07-19-2021 | No matter how you play it, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a stunning success. While it doesn’t take as much advantage of the PS5 as I’d have liked, this is still the best version of this excellent remake. I’m a huge fan of the bold new direction they’re taking this version of Final Fantasy VII in, one which has even a veteran of the original game on the edge of his seat waiting for part two. Whether you played Final Fantasy VII in 1997, 2020, anywhere in between, or even if you never played the original, you owe it to yourself to check out our favorite game of 2020. | Read review |
Hobby Consolas | Álvaro Alonso | 88 / 100 | 06-11-2021 | It’s not a huge difference over the main game, but all the improvements from Intergrade are a nice addition, and the perfect way to replay FFVII Remake. INTERmission is just the cherry on top… And a BIG tease that will leave you longing for Part II. | Read review |
IGN | Mitchell Saltzman | 8 / 10 | 06-15-2021 | Intermission serves as a tantalizing tease of Yuffie’s inevitable meeting with Final Fantasy 7’s core cast, and an excellent reason to return to Midgar to experience her new exhilarating style of combat and entertaining side activities. | Read review |
JVL | JamHet | 7 / 10 | 07-12-2021 | FF7 Intergrade is a good way for neophytes to discover this remake on PS5. Visually very clean and in constant 60fps, we feel that a background work has been done to prepare the future part 2 on the Sony console. However, it is clear that the INTERmission DLC does not allow you to learn much more about the newly set up story in the first part. | Read review |
LevelUp | Pedro Pérez Cesari | 9 / 10 | 06-26-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade looks great with better textures and lighting. Also, having the option to play it at 60 fps is a god send and makes it the definitive edition of a modern classic. INTERmission is a nice extra that fans of the JRPG can’t afford to miss. | Read review |
Luis Alamilla | Luis Alamilla | 8 / 10 | 06-13-2021 | Final Fantasy 7 Intermission is a fine piece of additional content that honestly, isn’t bonus content because by all means this is required for where the story is going for. That also means a lot of players who don’t have a PS5 are going to miss out on some major story beats for remake part 2. For those able to experience Intermission, you’ll be treated to a lovely story that doesn’t land every move it makes but more than delivers on a great introduction to Yuffie who will no doubt be an important inclusion in the future while hinting at where the series is going in the future. Outside of its lore importance, Intermission fleshes out combat and platforming in interesting ways that only raise my hope for other characters we’ve yet to see in action. | Read review |
Merlin’in Kazanı | Samet Basri Taşlı | 88 / 100 | 06-15-2021 | Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, which includes the main game and the additional package, is more than enough for the original fee. Enhanced images and performance for Playstation 5, the main story where you can play an average of 40+ hours, a pack full of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade with INTERmission offering approximately 6 hours of content. | Read review |
Metro GameCentral | GameCentral | 8 / 10 | 06-14-2021 | It’s already a miracle the remake works as well as it does but this PS5 remaster is excellent and while the new Intermission DLC isn’t essential it’s still an enjoyable diversion with a fun new character. | Read review |
MMORPG.com | Jason Fanelli | 9 / 10 | 06-24-2021 | If you liked Final Fantasy VII Remake, you’re going to love Intergrade. I know that sentence has a lot of “well DUH” energy, but it’s the truth; at its core this is an enhanced version of one of 2020’s best games. From visuals to framerate, Intergrade improves upon the original, with some scenes really popping off of the screen thanks to the PlayStation 5’s prowess. Intermission is at its core more of the same, but the tandem attacks are an excellent addition and the story implications are intriguing. It’s not Part 2, and Lord knows when that’s actually happening, but for now Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade scratches the FFVII Remake itch. | Read review |
MonsterVine | Spencer Legacy | 4.5 / 5 stars | 06-21-2021 | INTERmission is an excellent addition to Final Fantasy VII Remake. | Read review |
Niche Gamer | Fingal Belmont | 8 / 10 | 07-24-2021 | Hopefully there will be fewer re-releases or updated ports of the inevitable Part 2, and Square Enix can make the game as good as it can be the first time. It’s appreciated that owners of the vanilla game get the PlayStation 5 upgrade for free; it would have been even better if this was the game that was released the at the beginning. | Read review |
NoobFeed | Adam Siddiqui | 80 / 100 | 06-10-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake INTERmission is a short and sweet adventure that gives Yuffie her much-needed time in the spotlight. | Read review |
Oyungezer Online | Can Arabacı | 9 / 10 | 06-25-2021 | A masterpiece that should be played by anyone who loves Final Fantasy VII. It teaches a lesson on how to make a remake. | Read review |
Paste Magazine | Joseph Stanichar | 7 / 10 | 06-16-2021 | If you loved VII Remake, it’s hard to imagine you not enjoying this episode. But if you haven’t been able to find a PS5 or don’t want to pay extra for it, you’re not missing out on too much, either. Episode Intermission feels like a nice, bite-sized snack to munch on while waiting for the next main course with the second part, providing just enough new wrinkles and story elements to feel fresh while not doing anything crazy enough to warrant it as essential. | Read review |
PlayStation LifeStyle | Chandler Wood | 10 / 10 | 06-22-2021 | As a complete package, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade just feels like the definitive version of an already perfect game. And the addition of Episode INTERmission is a great excuse to bring old players back for new content (or just a solid extra couple of chapters for new players). For those just jumping into Final Fantasy VII Remake for the first time with Intergrade, consider me jealous. I wish I could play it with fresh eyes all over again. For the rest of us who finished it last year? Maybe it’s a good excuse to revisit Cloud’s journey through Midgar, even if we already have that Platinum trophy. Either way, the only downside of Intergrade is making the wait for the next part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga that much more difficult. | Read review |
PlayStation Universe | Timothy Nunes | 9 / 10 | 06-14-2021 | Improving on excellence, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade takes the few shortcomings from the PS4 release and improves them. While Activity Card support is missing, alongside deep DualSense support, Intergrade cements itself as the best way to play the Final Fantasy VII Remake, bar none. If you missed out on the original release, now is the time to jump in. | Read review |
Press Start | Kieron Verbrugge | 8.5 / 10 | 07-06-2021 | As part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade package or at a small cost on top of the free base game upgrade, the Yuffie-centric EPISODE INTERmission is a nice chunk of compelling new content to keep fans going in the absence of the next big title. It’s not a radical departure, and it would’ve been nice to get a proper glimpse of some new locales, but what’s here is still largely entertaining. Impressively, it manages to squeeze a nicely-paced and climactic experience out of its abridged RPG format. Plus, Yuffie is just too entertaining and likeable to not deserve a bit of the spotlight. | Read review |
PSX Brasil | Ivan Nikolai Barkow Castilho | 95 / 100 | 06-21-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake is a must-have game for any player. Intergrade further enhances this package, offering a very polished technical look with beautiful graphics. The novelty is the Episode INTERmission which, despite not being exactly mandatory, offers a new story, some new elements in combat and plenty of challenges. It’s not exactly short in content, but its price is slightly above what it offers. | Read review |
Push Square | Robert Ramsey | 8 / 10 | 06-11-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the best way to experience the return of Cloud and company. Remake remains a game of ups and downs in terms of quality, but by the time the credits roll, its most memorable moments shine through | Read review |
Rice Digital | Conor Evans | Recommended | 06-22-2021 | If you love Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Remake, this game was made for you — literally. It expands upon character motivations, adds backstory, creates new relationships both good and bad, and finally, it lets us play as a fan-favourite character who is the polar opposite to the main game’s aloof, Buster Sword-wielding spiky boy. | Read review |
Saudi Gamer | Unknown | 9 / 10 | 06-11-2021 | The definitive version of a great game, one that complements and builds on the original classic rather than supplant it and the DLC only strengthens that, with a great battle system and soundtrack and an engaging group of characters. | Read review |
Screen Rant | Cody Gravelle | 4 / 5 stars | 06-20-2021 | Ultimately, though, FF7 Remake Episode INTERmission doesn’t shy away from its nature as a side story, and as a result it spends most of its time embracing the new characters and their experiences rather than trying to shoehorn them into the main narrative. While that might make the FF7 Remake DLC feel less important as a result, it also results in a tight, fun experience that doesn’t take long to complete and firmly establishes another engrossing character in a FF7 Remake universe that has shown time and again it’s capable of creating stars. FF7 Remake Episode INTERmission, then, is DLC that slots nicely into the gap between the first game and FF7 Remake Part 2 | Read review |
SECTOR.sk | Michal Korec | 8 / 10 | 06-28-2021 | Good remake and the new episode featuring Yuffie. Just too short. | Read review |
Sirus Gaming | Casey David Muir-Taylor | 9 / 10 | 06-18-2021 | Both Intergrade, with all its glossy bells and whistles, and Yuffie’s engaging and well-paced story in INTERmission are a worthwhile investment if you own a PS5. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the definite edition of the game. | Read review |
Slant Magazine | Justin Clark | 3.5 / 5 stars | 06-12-2021 | The occasional moments of tonal dissonance stick out, but they don’t necessarily hurt the experience. And it can’t be underestimated how great it is to have a game that’s very much an allegory about Asian people fighting to be heard, and with two Asian voice actors actually playing the leads. Still, the episode is titled quite accurately. At five-to-seven hours, Episode INTERmission isn’t quite filler, but it’s also not entirely filling. It’s an appreciable detour on a much longer journey. | Read review |
SpazioGames | Domenico Musicò | Recommended | 06-11-2021 | It’s not an essential DLC or extra content that makes great revelations, but Episode INTERmission will meet with the favor of many fans, especially thanks to one last part that recovers a little compared to the other three-quarters who know to fill. The expansion is exosive for the content it offers, so we feel like recommending it only to those who really don’t want to miss anything about the reinterpretation of the most popular Final Fantasy. | Read review |
The Games Machine | Danilo Dellafrana | 9 / 10 | 06-14-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is an excellent revision that turns a great game into a true next gen experience. Don’t miss Episode INTERmission, a short but intense DLC. | Read review |
TheSixthAxis | Nic Bunce | 9 / 10 | 06-17-2021 | You should absolutely get Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. It’s easy to be critical and nitpick, but it’s worth remembering we’re looking at the DLC for one of the best and most-loved games of the PS4. The PS5 upgrade for Intergrade looks and feels incredible, and the chance to play as Yuffie is warmly received, especially when she completely changes the tone to something more light-hearted. However, the DLC isn’t quite perfect and, despite the filler, it feels very short for its price, especially if you’re not interested in the side missions. | Read review |
ThisGenGaming | Robby Bisschop | 9 / 10 | 06-11-2021 | FF7R Episode Intermission is a perfect content drop to tide people over for the long wait until part 2 will release. It shows us some of the events from the main game from a different perspective, let’s us play with a completely new combat style, has plenty of side content to keep busy with and even teases some major things for the sequel. I’ve really only got one complaint and that’s that I wish it lasted longer and had a bit more story content. | Read review |
TrueGaming | Unknown | 8 / 10 | 07-11-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade presents the perfect version of Remick Part VII with a lot of moments of graphics and new additional content that increases the value of the game. | Read review |
Twinfinite | Zhiqing Wan | 4.5 / 5 stars | 06-18-2021 | Episode Intermission builds upon the already solid foundation of Final Fantasy VII Remake and delivers a new story chapter that is both a comedy and a tragedy at the same time. It adds to the mythos of Remake’s world, gives us a new look at various side characters we only spent a few minutes with in the base game, and most importantly, sets the stage for the next crucial party member we’ll meet in the second instalment. It’s a good time all around, and I couldn’t recommend this more to fans of FFVII Remake. | Read review |
Use a Potion | Unknown | 10 / 10 | 06-24-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake was already an outstanding release, but Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade SOMEHOW makes it even better. Whether it’s with the improved visuals, the smoother performance, the faster load times, or the additional content that fleshes out the Final Fantasy VII Remake universe further, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade offers something to please everyone. I don’t care if you poured hundred of hours into the base game already… this is one PlayStation 5 port that you simply should NOT ignore. | Read review |
VGChartz | Issa Maki | 8 / 10 | 07-12-2021 | Intergrade continues the legacy of Final Fantasy VII with some great new content, but those coming from the PS4 version will have less to celebrate about. | Read review |
Video Chums | A.J. Maciejewski | 8.6 / 10 | 06-17-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the best way to experience the monumental ARPG and its Episode Intermission is a top-notch piece of DLC that’s much more riveting than I was anticipating. I recommend it to anyone who’s even remotely interested. | Read review |
Video Games Chronicle | Jon Bailes | 5 / 5 stars | 06-14-2021 | INTERmission is a classy addition to one of last year’s best games, which itself runs a little better now on PS5. It’s great to see Yuffie again, brought up-to-date to match the rest of the cast and providing her uniquely wide-eyed perspective on Midgar. We’re ready to move on from the great city now, but this is a fine farewell party. | Read review |
Wccftech | Francesco De Meo | 9.6 / 10 | 06-12-2021 | While it is the same game at heart, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade brings the first part of the remake to new heights with a 60 FPS gameplay option, some quality of life enhancements, much improved visuals, and a very fun new story episode starring Yuffie. The new tweaks and additions do not alter how the game feels and play, but there is no denying that they do make Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade the best way to enjoy one of the best role-playing games put out by Square Enix in the past few years. | Read review |
We Got This Covered | Jon Hueber | 5 / 5 stars | 07-06-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade brings the storied game to the PlayStation 5 along with a new standalone adventure starring Yuffie, giving fans new insight into the story. It also makes the wait for the next full chapter all but unbearable. | Read review |
Worth Playing | Chris “Atom” DeAngelus | 9 / 10 | 06-15-2021 | Overall, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a solid package. It’s not quite worth buying at full price if you’ve already played the original, but the upgraded original game and the DLC combine to create an excellent experience. Remake still holds up as a really fun game a year later, and Yuffie’s side story shows that the developers still have plenty of ideas on how to keep the combat fresh for a sequel. If this is your first time playing Final Fantasy VII Remake, then Intergrade is absolutely the version to get. | Read review |
ZTGD | Ken McKown | 8 / 10 | 06-29-2021 | Final Fantasy VII Remake is a massive endeavor that I fear we may never see the end of, but the ride so far has been fun. I really hope the next chapters don’t span years in development as the original is still one of my favorite RPGs of all-time. I would love to see this end before the end of the PS5-era, but I somehow feel like that is asking a lot. Still this free update for owners is a nice tie-over and the DLC is meaty enough to keep me enamored in the world. | Read review |
