CrossCode

一个好玩的游戏 DLC (A New Home)必买，买了DLC才看到完整的主线剧情 (不要像我一样只买折扣的本体，再原价买DLC) 主线剧情不错，支线剧情一般 有些解密很困难，大部分解密需要花时间思考，少部分实在想不到就看攻略了 地图高低差很多时候是解密或找宝箱开宝箱的一部分，肉眼不太好分辨，可以使用射击攻击查看影子的方式判断高低 几个地方的风景挺好看的 如果未来再出DLC还会买 (游戏内提到有计划新的地图DLC) 。

One of the best ARPGs i've played in a while.

So much love put in this game and it is fun. But it is too hard too many times. Thank god you can lower time frames in puzzles and enemies strength in the settings.

I honestly don't even know where to begin, so I'll just get straight to the point: CrossCode is one of the best games I've ever played. Easily one of my all-time Top 10, and that's not an exaggeration. Originally born as a small HTML indie project back in 2011, CrossCode went through years of refinement, crowdfunding, and Early Access before finally releasing in its complete form in 2018, followed by the excellent 'A New Home' expansion in 2021. It's difficult to talk about the story without spoiling it, but here's the premise: you play as Lea, a mysterious girl trapped inside an MMORPG called CrossWorlds. Unable to remember her past, she embarks on a journey to recover her lost memories while uncovering a much larger mystery. Along the way, you'll meet an unforgettable cast of well-written characters as the game explores surprisingly mature themes, including the ethics of scientific research, the impact of emerging technologies on people's lives, and profound existential questions that challenge the very definition of humanity. Visually, CrossCode draws heavy inspiration from classic 16-bit JRPGs like Alundra, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana. Gameplay-wise, however, it is an absolute masterpiece of design. Its greatest strengths lie in its intricate vertical exploration, incredibly fluid combat system, and some of the most elaborate physics-based environmental puzzles I've ever encountered. The dungeons will test both your reflexes and your brain in equal measure. For a game that takes up less than a gigabyte of disk space, CrossCode offers more meaningful content than countless bloated AAA games from publishers like Ubisoft. I spent an absurd number of hours earning every achievement, and I enjoyed almost every minute of it. CrossCode excels in virtually every department. The gorgeous pixel art is packed with detail and personality. Exploration is constantly rewarding thanks to its diverse biomes and brilliantly designed temples. Combat offers an impressive amount of build variety through its elemental skill trees, while the Arena, countless enemy encounters, and spectacular boss fights provide an outstanding balance between action and strategy. And then there's the lore. Rich, layered, and consistently well-written, it operates on multiple levels: Lea's personal story, the relationships she builds with friends, rivals, and guildmates, the history and mechanics of the game world itself, the behind-the-scenes secrets of Instatainment—the company behind CrossWorlds—and, of course, the mystery surrounding Lea's own existence. The 'A New Home' DLC, available after completing the game with the good ending, is far more than a simple epilogue. It significantly expands the story, gameplay mechanics, and lore while adding roughly twenty hours of high-quality content. If you enjoy games that demand exploration, quick reflexes, and genuine problem-solving skills, CrossCode is an absolute must-play. It is one of those rare indie games that confidently stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best the genre has to offer.

Crosscode is a very charming indie game with great combat and exploration. I liked the art style and storyline. My main complaint is just that it is a bit too long.

Very pleasing combat, dialogues aren't bad, the puzzles tho, do escalate well, but err... ...there are quite a few puzzles, but since accessibility settings exist I can't complain about it and should instead complain on the fact I'm way too stubborn. Still, great game so far! PS: My achievements aren't unlocking, but I'm on Linux, so that must be it.
