It's not known yet whether the PS5, PS4 editions will come with any further graphical improvements over the base Nintendo Switch remake.

While the improved visuals supposedly give Front Mission a much-welcome facelift, our sister publication Nintendo Life slammed the game for tedious gameplay and inaccurate weapons. «Unless you’re a die-hard fan of the original or the TRPG genre in general, you’re probably safe to give this one a miss or just lower the difficulty of the combat to enjoy the story.
