Chrono Cross

Nearly Perfect.

User Rating: 9.5 | Chrono Cross (PSOne Books) PS

Over 10 years late to the party on this one, I knew I had to get my PS emulator in near-perfect shape after playing Chrono Trigger and reading all of the hype on this Chrono Cross. I thought Chrono Trigger was a little overrated, but I was confident that jumping ahead in console generations would help such as a complex type of game.

Wow, am I glad I did not skip over this one. One of the all-time greats in terms of story, character development, plot, flow, and one of the absolute best soundtracks ever -- movies, games, anything and everything. In fact, the soundtrack was one of the things that got me personally interested in this one.

With such perfection throughout, the final boss and ending downgraded what would've been a 10 score, to a 9.5. Either way, easily one of the top few games that I've encountered within my 20+ years of gaming.
