Still the only video game to make me ugly cry. Some shows and movies have made me cry but this was the first game and oh my god. Please play it. Pretty pretty please. You will be so happy with your decision.

I've played a lotta games in my day, starting way back in the 80's, and I can confidently say this is one of my favorites. The characters are fun and endearing, and the gameplay is challenging, rewarding, and fair. That said...the question here isn't whether or not I personally liked the game, it's about whether or not I recommend You playing it. But then, that depends an awful lot on you, doesn't it? One of the first few screens this game will show you is one that explains that the combat and puzzles are meant to be challenging. I think a lotta people misunderstand what they mean. "Challenging" tends to be an overused term I think...sorta like "may cause drowsiness" on medicines. They put that on everything from ibuprofen to xanax. Same with games that claim they're challenging. To continue my medicine analogy, on a scale of ibuprofen to xanax, this game rates as a quaalude or phenobarbitol. To drop the metaphor...when they say challenging they don't mean you might have to fight a boss two or three times, they don't mean you'll have to try a puzzle a few times before you get it right. They mean challenging like Ninja Gaiden or Mike Tyson's Punch Out, as two NES examples. The kind of challenging that will make you wanna scream, throw your controller across the room, and punch the game in the face. That's what they mean by challenging. For instance, as one (allegedly) professional review site said "...even after understanding what we were supposed to do, it still took everyone in the office dozens of tries before even one of us could do some of the puzzles". Which, first of all, is probably the definition of a skill issue. But also, is a fair definition of what "challenging" means in terms of this game. As combat goes, you have a melee and a ranged attack. You also have a dash and a shield. You are expected to use them All regularly. You will have a bad time if you don't. As puzzles go...there's a ton of interesting mechanics, which don't have an explicit tutorial. Instead, the first few puzzles after a mechanic is introuced are the tutorial puzzles. These will then become more and more complex, and often include sequences of actions that must be performed in a certain timing. Dungeons will typically alternate between a fight room and a puzzle room. Increasing in difficulty until the puzzle "boss", followed by the actual boss. You may very well have to retry both bosses dozens of times. So then, do I recommend this game to You? Do you find the puzzles in most modern games challenging, or even amusing? Is your idea of challenging "I could barely focus on the podcast I was listening to while fighting that boss" or "Man, that puzzle took me three tries and I still barely did it!"? Then no, I do not recommend you playing this game, you'll just turn into another embarassing salt dispenser in the discussions. If you enjoy overcoming challenges that will push you to your limits, then yes, absolutely!! This is a must play gaming experience for you in that case!

wanna unlock this item? puzzle. wanna go here? puzzle. talk to his npc? puzzle. wanna unlock ur power? puzzle. wanna attack the enemy? puzzle. need to do this puzzle? here's another PUZZLE. you think these puzzles can be relaxing? guess again. it's also a RACE tied to an ACHIEVEMENT. because fuck you that's why. after the temple mine dungeon, if you think to yourself "wow that was really bad. i hope all the other dungeons are way shorter and easier from now on!" turn back. if you hate puzzles this game is not for you. heck, even if you love puzzles this will test the patience of a saint. other than that its good. like, really good. this game is so frustrating to recommend because i love it so much and i hate the puzzles so much. if their next game has the same amount of puzzles then that's one more reason to hate the french.

This is a really good game. Please buy it along with the post-game DLC to support these guys. I can go on all day about all the good things about this game: A story that pulls you in Addictive twin-stick shooter gameplay with a high skill ceiling Challenging combat and puzzles Beautiful pixel art Banger soundtrack I literally cannot think of anything negative to say about this game. 100/10 would wipe my memory clean to experience this game fresh again.

Hello friends, Today i will review the game CrossCode. This game takes place in a MMO world with a anesia character who is the main character and you need to find out what happened to them. The main character is a female protagonist, but if you do not like that, there is a dlc you can buy to change them to a male character. This action rpg uses alot of real time moves. The main character is fixed to a certain class in the mmorpg in the game. There are also many different biomes the characters can explore and different towns. Also, there are quite a few side quests in the game. Also, there is a dlc that adds more storyline even after finishing the game. There are also lots of easter eggs in many places, such as characters found in the game, or item descriptions. The science fiction vibe of the game is also interesting. PROS: - A action rpg with versatile skills to explore a mmorpg world. - Many puzzles that require some deep thinking to figure out alot of them. - Ability to learn elemental attacks. - Different many beautiful environments to explore and find chests. - The music is very good and sounds like classic retro music from older systems. - Many quests including side quests, and even hidden quests and locations. - Many easter eggs and refences to other video games and even anime series. - Retro Style graphics. - A verbose trading system where you can trade items you get from defeated monsters and bosses for newer weapons and items. - Multiple Endings. CONS: - Some stuttering occured when i played the game. Setting the pixel size to 1 fixed it for me, but some players may experience this issue on newer pc's. - Leveling and grinding for trade items takes a long time, so some grinding is required. - Some of the puzzles solutions are quite complex, requiring to look up the answer to them online. - Some people may find that there are too many puzzles in the game. - The retro style graphics may not be for everyone. Recommended game. The action of throwing balls of energy infused with fire is very fun. Also, the action sometimes can be very fast an frantic. The music in the game fits in very good with the area's they are in, such as the starter area music and many of the biomes. The storyline is intereting enough to keep you playing and hooked. IF you get the game, make sure to try out the bonus codes, they add everything from new items to voice acting. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2912638734
