===Windows release===
In contrast to the critical acclaim of ''Chrono Trigger'''s original SNES release, the 2018 Windows port of ''Chrono Trigger'' was critically panned. Grievances noted by reviewers included tiling errors on textures, the addition of aesthetically intrusive sprite filters, an unattractive [[GUI]] carried over from the 2011 mobile release, a lack of graphic customization options, and the inability to remap controls. In describing the port, ''[[Forbes]]'' commented: "From pretty awful graphical issues, such as tiling textures and quite a painful menu system, this port really doesn't do this classic game justice."<ref name="ForbesPC" /> ''[[USGamer]]'' characterized the Windows release as carrying "all the markings of a project farmed out to the lowest bidder. It's a shrug in Square-Enix's mind, seemingly not worth the money or effort necessary for a half-decent port."<ref>{{cite web |first=Nadia |last=Oxford |date=March 1, 2018 |title=Chrono Trigger Deserves Better Than This Flaccid PC Port |url=https://www.usgamer.net/articles/chrono-trigger-deserves-better-than-this-flaccid-pc-port |website=[[USGamer]] |access-date=March 1, 2018 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180302012921/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/chrono-trigger-deserves-better-than-this-flaccid-pc-port |archive-date=March 2, 2018}}</ref> In a [[Twitter]] post detailing his experiences with the Windows version, [[indie developer]] Fred Wood derisively compared the port to "someone's first attempt at an [[RPG Maker]] game", a comment which was republished across numerous articles addressing the poor quality of the rerelease.<ref name="vg247pc" /><ref name="PolygonPCPort" /><ref name="thenextwebpc">{{cite web |first=Rachel |last=Kaiser |date=February 28, 2018 |title=Classic SNES game Chrono Trigger gets godawful PC port |url=https://thenextweb.com/gaming/2018/02/28/classic-snes-game-chrono-trigger-gets-godawful-pc-port/ |publisher=The Next Web |access-date=March 1, 2018 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180302014545/https://thenextweb.com/gaming/2018/02/28/classic-snes-game-chrono-trigger-gets-godawful-pc-port/ |archive-date=March 2, 2018}}</ref> Square Enix released six major updates to address the complaints, thus improving its overall reception;<ref name="Update5" /><ref name="EurogamerMarch2022" /><ref name="PCGamerMarch2022" /><ref name="USATodayMarch2022" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://kotaku.com/chrono-trigger-pc-looks-way-better-now-1825171895 |title=''Chrono Trigger'' PC Looks Way Better Now |last=Schreier |first=Jason |authorlink=Jason Schreier |work=[[Kotaku]] |date=April 11, 2018 |access-date=March 31, 2021 |archive-date=April 12, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180412122857/https://kotaku.com/chrono-trigger-pc-looks-way-better-now-1825171895 |url-status=live}}</ref> Alex Donaldson of ''[[VG247]]'', commenting on the improvements, wrote that "Square Enix took the criticism to heart and over the course of a string of hefty patches have slowly turned this into something that actually could be argued as the best version of ''Chrono Trigger''."<ref name="Rescued" />
