CrossCode

I play games for gameplay and this game feels excellent. It starts off fairly easy and gradually introduces you to more complex tactics for your character, adds in team members, and increasingly complex enemies. Before you know it, you'll be switching between elements to keep from overheating, weaving through enemy attacks, carefully deciding where and when to use a special skill, blocking, and deflecting attacks back at enemies all while your team mates are doing the same. The characters have a lot of care put into them and even our mute...ish protagonist has enough expressions to convey exactly what they're thinking. I've found myself with a smile on my face enjoying most of the interactions and, oftentimes, laughing at the humor. Overall this game has more polish and charm than most Japanese ARPGs these days and reminds me of why I began to love this genre.

Just thank you guys!! ... What a cute pearl and high art. Its perfect. Seriously. I highly recommend to play this game. Without doubts... Try or die ( without this wonderful experience ^^)

I think this is my first review and I play quiet a few games. And This game is absolutely one of the best I've ever played. I think the only real problem I have is that UI is sometimes too tedious to navigate (and I just use wiki instead). But anything other (story, gameplay, graphics, music, accessability, dev support for the game) is absolutely incredible and it pains me, that it doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.

Really enjoyed the first part of this game (around 6/7 hours) however Temple Mine is just frustrating and is starting to make me think I'm not going to complete this game. Would still recommend to give this game a go.

A lackluster game. There is so mush unfun about this game that it kills all the fun elements that are in it. While playing Crosscode I got a growing sensation that its developers had a very peculiar notion of "fun". For them, it's like fun equals annoying B.S. The more finicky and annoying the puzzle is, the more gamers will like it! No, they won't, at least not all of them and especially not me. It's not that I can't take a challenge (I've completed games way harder than this one, Hollow Knight, for example), but the challange in this game doesn't feel rewarding. You've just spent 5 minutes resolving this puzzle-room full of contraptions that require a dead-eye accuracy with little to no room for error? Congratulations, have some more of it, two times larger! No, thanks, I'm out.
