Fun puzzles, good combat, great art and music, a massive amount of side content to interact with, and to top it off a great story with great characters that are easy to fall in love with. Highly recommend, including the DLC.

Great game with great references. Can't believe they put my boy Simon in the game.

its an amazing game.. and i personally enjoying it a lot .. i am in mid game rn and i feel like story is pretty long but overall its geat ...it lets u feel that u are playing an MMO even tho its completely offline

An absolute masterclass of puzzle design and combat. Some criticize the game for the games puzzles, both their constant presence in the game and their difficulty. However I argue that this is not an issue with the game itself, but the fact that the combat is so good, that the game fails to make it clear that it is a Zelda-like puzzle game first and foremost. If you do not enjoy puzzles, you will likely not enjoy Crosscode, but if you do, what's here is some of the greatest puzzle design in gaming. You will also be treated to some damn good combat which most of the time incorporates puzzle solving into its design. The side-quests in this game are mostly all fantastic and some of the most unique I have ever seen in gaming, especially in the games latter half. The game is rich with secrets and if you enjoy collecting things, Crosscode has one of the most engaging maps to explore for collectors. Crosscode doesn't have a "crafting" system per se, but it has a trading system where you pay a fee alongside some materials to obtain items or equipment, functionally acting like a crafting system. Not only does this make obtaining materials more rewarding, it also adds something new to search for as some the market fronts are hidden within their towns as well. Finally the story, I wont spoil it, but aside from a small Ludonarrative issue, Crosscode is one of the most "human" games I have ever played, you don't really feel alone when you are playing this even though it is a single player game, and the narrative is as amazing and beautiful as it is heart wrenching. Overall, Crosscode is an amazing indie gem and I strongly recommend this game to any puzzle enjoyer. Some criticism: -The games narrative choices result in a separation of the game world you play in and the actual narrative itself, meaning that when the game finally shows its cards in the latter half, having long stretches of gameplay that isn't important to the story can feel weird. It can lead to the actual games story looming at the back of your mind instead of being the focus of everything you do during that stretch. -The isometric artstyle does not mix well with the top down perspective, and makes it difficult to determine altitude. This is surprisingly very important as the game has a decent amount of verticality to it, meaning that puzzles using this verticality can be particularly frustrating. -The game has a fairly slow start. In a way I haven't really seen before. The intro and the newcomers area are literally a perfect introduction to the game and what's to come. However immediately after the tutorial dungeon, you are put into what is most likely the most mediocre point in the game, and it kinda drags on. It doesn't help that the first few quests which you'll obtain there are (while still better than most video game side quests) the least interesting quests in the game and could undersell the quality of the games side quests all around.

Experiences like these are the reason I would prefer there is an option to express "mixed feelings" when it comes to write a review since I want deeply to like this game and there undeniable qualities and at the same time there are aspects of it that disappoint me and give me a sour taste in my mouth. I am writing this as I finished the second main dungeon but I am not committed to continue, so what I am about to write is based on solely what I experienced until this point. The game is very beautiful in artistic terms, the sprites of the characters are very expressive and colorful with the right tones and shades and the aesthetic of the world is charming with its setting. A feeling that threw me back into the DS-era of gaming combined with the nostalgia aspect of MMORPGs. The soundtrack, while not the strongest, has some good tracks with my favorite being the snow village. On paper this game has everything I would like given that I grew up with these themes and this sort of presentation, however a lot of design choices push me back to enjoy it. While the combat is smooth and responsive with its good animations, I didn't find the feeling very good as a lot of enemies don't have clear visual indicators for when they're about to attack, apart from their sprites glowing red where it can be your chance to shoot in order to stun them. This was a problem when I was fighting groups and I had issues on keeping track of everything since the hit frequency of the enemies is high. You can customize these aspects in the settings but the fact the original difficulty was intended like this it's not reassuring. Most of my deaths were also caused by enemies projectiles that had the same color as the environment and that frustrated me a bit. Later in the game you unlock elemental forms that spices the combat and each element interact in a unique way with the enemies and the environment, I didn't like the "overheat elemental" mechanic where your character can overheat if you use too much of a specific form and some forms are essential to kill some enemies and bosses. While the combat isn't the best, I have to say that the puzzles were satisfying in their structure and design and. My main issue with them is that there were too much of the same thing in the dungeons and I wish there were fewer rooms so they don't overstay their welcome. In RPGs games I love to explore and exploration here is the most tedious thing I ever felt. Every biome and area that I have explored so far is filled with platforms and each of these have a specific altitude that it's not communicated in an effective way, not sure if it has to do with the way the shadows are set or it's the composition in general. Lot of heights and chests can be reached only if you find a specific point to climb that is located by backtracking a lot of screens and even after you managed to find that spot and climb it, it it's not very clear which direction to go after that and if you fail one jump you go back all the way to the start. All of that for an item or a piece of equipment weaker than that one you already have. Finally I didn't find the story that interesting as it has some serious pacing issues where you're introduced to a big menace of a villain only to be forgotten later barely mentioned and the dialogues and the characters weren't enough captivating to keep me hooked. There is clearly an audience for this game and I can see why people like this very much. I am just not a part of that.

Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na minha vida, rivalizando com elden ring e breath of the wild como melhor em meu rank pessoal. Acabei descobrindo ele num comentário de um vídeo do Linus. Inacreditável esse jogo. Pra mim o único nuance foi que mais para o final eu estava um pouco saturado das batalhas e puzzles, o que foi de boa, porque o jogo da uma opção de baixar a dificuldade então você passa mais rápido por isso. Dito isso, o sistema de batalha e puzzle é único, nunca vi nada igual, não sei como não fiquei sabendo desse jogo antes. A história, roteiro e narrativa da parada é outro nível, é absolute cinema mesmo, algo que te engaja e te move fortemente emocionalmente, os personagens são super bem escritos e na quantidade perfeita. Como compositor e Sound designer, posso falar com propriedade que a trilha sonora é espetacular e os efeitos sonoros imperceptíveis, ou seja, perfeitos, não há nada fora, estranho e etc. É tudo muito satisfatório. Direto pausava e ia fazer algo e a música rodando de fundo nunca me irritou por repetições e etc. Tanto a música como o jogo em si me lembra muito a vibe de Ragnarok online e os mmos dos anos 2000s em geral, por isso também conversou com experiências profundas da minha infância e adolescência. Deixo aqui meu obrigado aos desenvolvedores e todos os envolvidos! Um abraço. E pra quem não jogou ainda, JOGUE!

5 dollars for a gem

So fweaking good
