"Chrono Trigger" is perhaps the most perfectly-realized video game ever conceived. It's easy to learn how to play, yet impossible to master and always challenging. There is a complex, interwoven story, yet it's never confusing and always completely engrossing. The cast is filled with odd, diverse characters, yet they are never annoying and always fascinating and likable. Filled with epic battles (never violent and mostly implied, if that's what you were concerned about), a compelling story, filled with drama, action, humor, romance, and wonderful characters, a massive range of areas to explore (in multiple time periods!), hundreds of enemies to face, tons of missions to complete, puzzles to solve, allies to gain, items to find, and battles to fight, Chrono Trigger as as good as it gets. It combines strategy, action, storytelling, puzzles, decision-making, and fun in a way that no game before or after has ever managed to top. Even those who hate RPGs with a passion are guaranteed to love this absolute masterpiece of a game. Recommended for everyone who can read and play video games; contains mild (mostly implied) violence and some harmless, playful sexual innuendo (young children will not understand). The best game ever made? Could be!
