Chrono Trigger was undoubtedly a masterpiece at its time of release, but time hasn't been especially kind to it. Certain areas of it, such as world and character interactions are incredible to this day, but its gameplay and level design haven't aged particularly well. Such a shame that, during my time with the game, I was thinking more about its infuriatingly tedious gameplay and level design than all of its cool and interesting ideas.
Pros: Plenty of revolutionary ideas, superb time traveling mechanics and the way your actions influence the world, solid story and characters, some solid music, New Game+ and multiple endings, neat little touches
Cons: Cringe worthy padding, tedious gameplay, plenty of unavoidable fights, uninteresting visual and level design, poorly rewards exploration
