Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the second highest-rated Final Fantasy game of all time

Ahead of the game's launch next week, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth reviews officially gone live and by the looks of it, Square Enix has a hit on its hands. As of now, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the second highest rated Final Fantasy game of all time. 

If you were already finding the wait for this game painful, then it may get a little worse. As noted by Benji Sales, a Twitter account dedicated to games industry analytics, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth now sits at a 93 overall on Metacritic, based on 119 critic reviews.

You could argue that it should be the highest rated Final Fantasy of all time, as Final Fantasy 9 currently sits at a 94 overall, but that is based on a much lower 22 critic reviews.

Many of the reviews point to more freedom of movement, open environments and twists on the classic story as strong points for the game. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will officially launch on the 29th of February, exclusively for PS5, but a free demo is already available to play. While the game is exclusive for now, it should come to PC eventually, just as Final Fantasy 7 Remake did.

KitGuru Says: I finished Final Fantasy 7 Remake last year in preparation for the sequel. With glowing reviews like this, I may just have to make it a day-one purchase. Are any of you planning on picking up Rebirth next week?
