It's a shame that, after all these years, it had to arrive in such a sorry state. The Radical Dreamers Edition does some minor work in improving and upgrading the experience, but with such poor optimisation, it's a headache to enjoy the experience. Longtime fans might be able to forgive the issues and savour the incredible visual novel side-story Radical Dreamers, but a game as iconic as this deserves better.","2025-02-10T15:04:39.246937-05:00",{"id":119,"logo":261,"name":262,"slug":263,"tags":141,"bluesky":264,"twitter":262,"youtube":263,"facebook":262,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":265,"website_url":266,"score_format":47,"average_score":267,"default_timezone":49,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":50,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":268,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":52,"active_authors_count":52,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":269,"editor_in_chief_email":270,"published_authors_count":52,"published_reviews_count":52},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTheSixthAxis-Logo.jpg","TheSixthAxis","thesixthaxis","thesixthaxis.bsky.social","All the latest videos gaming news, reviews, guides, and opinion.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F",73,"aran@thesixthaxis.com","dom@thesixthaxis.com","teflon@thesixthaxis.com",{"id":272,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":273,"author":274,"original_score":205,"normalized_score":99,"review_url":281,"review_date":257,"summary":282,"created_at":283,"updated_at":283,"author_id":275,"last_edited_at":283,"outlet":284},102668,140,{"id":275,"bio":26,"name":276,"avg_score":277,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":278,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":279,"claim_token":26,"article_count":280,"claimed_by_user_id":26},9020,"Nat Patterson",71.66666666666667,"2025-03-25T20:46:45.069573-04:00","2025-03-26T05:41:17.794095-04:00",46,"https:\u002F\u002Fcheckpointgaming.net\u002Freviews\u002F2022\u002F04\u002Fchrono-cross-the-radical-dreamers-edition-review-nostalglia-through-tired-eyes\u002F","If there is one thing Square Enix has managed to consistently bank on, it is the dedication and love their fanbase has for their “classic” back catalogue of titles.
