    I can easily recommend this game — it’s enjoyable, attractive, and fleshed out. I do think having to wait around fifteen hours for an emotional hook might be pushing it (especially if, like me, you love story and character), but again, this could change as you push into your sixteenth hour and beyond.

    This has a tremendous amount going for it, but ultimately, it is going to appeal to puzzle gamers far more than JRPG fans, as the puzzle sections are incredibly demanding. Having players do hours of complex and convoluted puzzles in a row, is something that is going to put off many gamers that otherwise would have loved this title. For a RPG romp it could have been outstanding if this was shortened, and the puzzles/trickery were reduced by at least half.

To my surprise i sawMy daily routine consists of going through the estore and having a look at what new indie games will hit the switch. To my surprise i saw Crosscode,a game that i have never heard of .Did some research and the game was to my liking via the youtube videos.

    Game launched ,i purchased it and thought meh i will play it the following day.
    That same day i got home from work,booted up my switch in docked mode and started playing Crosscode, 10 hours went by and i craved more.

    The story is well written,the atmosphere of the world is superb. The characters suck you in and you feel involved with all missions. The pixelated graphics is excellent, game play is fun, side missions is interesting and doesn't feel like a chore, upgrade skill tree is interesting .

    All in all Crosscode is on par with Zelda Breath of The Wild and the only issue is with lag issues in the Menus and when you enter a busy town. Why this wasn't fixed before release i will never understand.

    Well worth playing Crosscode. Well done Radical Fish Games.    … Full Review »

The story is intriguing, too. Obviously gorgeous with a nostalgic-though strong-score. I'm 19 hours in and hooked.… Full Review »
