<ul>
<li>800 x 600</li>

<p>Despite just launching, <em>Chrono Trigger</em> holds a Mostly Negative user rating on Steam with only 21% of the reviews being positive. The negative user reviews share common complaints. Among them, &#8220;lazy port&#8221; is a commonly used descriptive term. According to these reviews, the title is a mobile port with little considerations made for accommodating PC&#8217;s controls and hardware. One user, Shiggy, complains that &#8220;<em>You can drag your mouse across the screen and the joystick which is used for mobile devices comes up</em>&#8220;. Another user, Lil&#8217; Sassy, notes that this issue still occurs with a gamepad, which the Steam page lists as containing Partial Controller Support. &#8220;<em>The tap overlay is still there as if you should be clicking it with a mouse even when you play with a gamepad</em>&#8220;. Multiple reviews also make note of &#8220;blurry&#8221; visuals that don&#8217;t scale well to large screens and high resolutions.</p>
<p><em>Chrono Trigger, </em>often considered one of the greatest role-playing games of all time, may demand PC users to remain patient. Maybe Square Enix will fix the issues. Maybe not. We&#8217;ll have to wait and see.</p>
