CrossCode

This is just one of those games that kinda just reminds you what this medium should be about, plain old fun in all aspects. First and foremost the gameplay is just great with a really well crafted combat system that actually has quite a lot going on while managing to not be overwhelming and also quite a lot of engaging puzzles which mix together to create a really nice flow of switching between combat and puzzles, making it so that for the most part neither part of the game gets tedious from overdoing it. It would be great and all if that was all there was to it, but the presentation, aka visuals/audio, and the story/characters are also really well put together, with beautiful and varied locales fitted with music that elevates them and all of it wrapped up with a surprisingly serious and captivating story for something that starts off as you just starting to play an in-game mmo. So yea this is an easy recommend if you want something that's kinda similar to the older zeldas or hyper light drifter gameplay wise, but quite a lot bigger in its scope, longer in its runtime and with a pretty gripping narative for what it's worth. Check it out if you can. Bye Lea!

This is the Final Fantasy that I actually enjoy playing. Exploration and movement is fun, good balance of puzzles and combat, the latter of which is fast and fun! Gorgeous art style and music and I'm really enjoying the story so far

The trial of progression quests are the worst. I despise whoever thought of them. Good game overall, but these almost made me give this game a downvote.

Its basically a playable Anime

I came into this game thinking it was going to be a ok pixel RPG, Just something to pass some time on nothing serious and oh boy was i wrong. the characters are loveable and so expressive, Lea the mc can only speak a few words but she has so much personality in her actions and expressions, the rest of the cast especially Emilie are amazing as well i loved the way they interacted with lea and how she interacted with them given her limited vocabulary. the gameplay itself is super solid and the game is really challenging i struggled on quite a few boss's and it was super rewarding to beat them. the element system is cool having to switch depending on what resistances and weakness's the opponents had, the puzzles were really challenging and fun as well some insanely hard ones near the end of the game. the DLC was really good as well a must play to see the story to its ultimate conclusion and some really fun and tough fights and puzzle's. overall its a really fun and emotional game that i will be thinking about for a long while and that i will look back on fondly, I would highly recommend playing it i wish i could forget all about it so i could play it agian.

Bought Alabaster Dawn and saw it was only version 0.1.0. Decided to play this instead while that has time to cook. Boy am I pleasantly surprised so far.

Pretty cool game. I like the expressions, well done. Challenge level's pretty good. Looking forward to the NG stuff.

战斗难 解密超级多 但是还是挺好玩的

very nice game, go play it if you are not gay.

CrossCode is an amazing game that I cannot simply recommend to everyone. This is a Single Player Puzzle/Platform Game wrapped in an MMO RPG shell, both in the game mechanics and narrative-wise. Even the most basic enemies and the first Boss you meet require you to figure out their mechanics to defeat them. Just clicking buttons and using good gear won't get you far unless you have cheat-level stats, and even that can’t avoid all the challenges. However, if you’d love to have 70% of the game involve puzzles, everything about this game is very charming and unique. The pixel art is very cute, the story is intriguing, and the combat has quite a bit of depth on top of the puzzle element. It’s really one of a kind. If this sounds interesting to you in any capacity, you should give CrossCode a try at least. There really aren’t a lot of games that can mimic it. But if the amount of puzzle/gimmick frustrates you even a little bit in the first 2 hours, you probably should put it down, since it only takes up more and more of the game later on.
