6.5/10

started out really good, peaked at vermillion, then the pacing just barfed all over the place and suddenly i was at the final duungeon and the story got predictable, i lost all interest and theres this unbelievably cringe piece of dialogue during the ending.

there were so many cool possibilities for what could have happened after vermillon but it just becomes very rushed and predictable.

the music is okay... nothing id listen to out of game but not terrible

the gameplay was pretty boring so i used the damage reduction assist after midgame lol. even if i didn’t this game suffers the same problem as ffxv in which you can just tank hits if you bring along 99 healing items, there are no limits.

puzzles arent really my genre and there are a lot of ones with obtuse solutions i had to use a guide for but i had fun with figuring out the majority of them.

would i reccomend crosscode? at the 10 dollar mark i got it at, sure. especially if youre more into puzzles than i am. but i cant say i enjoyed myself too much in the last 3rd. also the final boss was too long. WAY, WAY too long.
