This is pretty much fixed now if you disable "SMT" and set the cores to 3 using the Decky and PowerTools plugin. Steam OS 3.5 is supposed to implement a permanent fix for this issue, it is related to core counts.
Unplayable on Steam Deck. Stutters every 2-3 seconds. Don't buy if you are planning on playing on that.
Best game of all time. I'm definitely not biased.

The timeless RPG classic returns loaded with upgrades! Journey to the forgotten past, to the far future, and to the end of time. A big adventure to save the planet, now begins…

CHRONO TRIGGER is the timeless role-playing classic developed by the 'Dream Team' of DRAGON QUEST creator Yuji Horii, Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, and the creators of FINAL FANTASY.

Whether you're a first-time player or a longtime fan, this epic quest to save a planet's future promises hours of enthralling adventure!

As the definitive version of CHRONO TRIGGER, not only have the controls been updated, the graphics and sound have also been revamped to make your adventure even more fun and enjoyable to play. To complete your journey, also included is the mysterious 'Dimensional Vortex' dungeon and the forgotten 'Lost Sanctum' dungeon. Meet the challenges presented to you and long-lost secrets may be revealed...

is the PC port playable? I keep reading reviews saying it has a lot of issues.

It doesn't have to be perfect, but I don't have a SNES anymore and would like to play a reliable version of CT.

Bought it a couple weeks ago on eneba for the same price...

perfectly playable on PC. I use nintendo switch controller plugged in as I noticed some lag using bluetooth. Then again, I am using $5 chinese bluetooth adapter so YMMV.
