  • JRPG
  • Time travel
  • Classic

A 1995 JRPG from the creators of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy: Crono travels from prehistory to a ruined future to stop the end of the world. There are no random battles, you combine techs from two or three characters and there are several endings.

Why play it now

When you want a classic JRPG that doesn't drag on or make you grind, and that autosaves as you cross the map.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants to discover a 90s classic and replay it with New Game+ to see other endings.

When not to pick it

If you hate shoddy ports: the music restarts after battles and moving diagonally judders.

What it offers

  • Story: 90 out of 100
  • Exploring: 60 out of 100
  • Relaxing: 45 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 45 out of 100
  • Thinking: 45 out of 100
  • Managing: 30 out of 100
