Overall it has been very enjoyable so far and it looks like the game is getting better the further I progress. Some of the major dungeons (temples) are really long and require a lot of patience to get through. The world has some lore, but it all feels artificial due it all being just a simulation. The world doesn't feel lived-in since it's basically a generic MMO world. Luckily you accumulate a large pile of crafting items naturally during exploration and combat. You can sometimes buy items with money, but all more powerful and rare items require ingredients. Everything requires multiple crafting components to craft. This game went full autistic with crafting. There's a fair bit of grinding involved, especially early in the game. Basically fetch quests with a little pinch of lore for flavor.

The story progressed very slowly after the tutorial phase. Fairly straight-forward playthrough takes 30+ hours. People have sunk hundreds of hours into this game. You can try to rush to obtain rare crafting items to obtain ridiculously powerful items early in the game if you desire. + Character progression is complex and offers many different ways to develop your character. + Especially boss fights give me the same kind of adrenaline rush I get from Secret of Mana and other similar games.

Kind of reminds me of Super Metroid, where you also can play the game on a totally different level if you know how to exploit the game controls to your advantage. There are also ways to jump longer distances and dash forward faster if you know how to exploit the game mechanisms. There are a ton of combat moves that require careful aiming and timing. + Both combat and exploration is highly reliant on player skill. Some of them are really challenging though - occasionally I've had to resort to checking the right solutions online. They constantly introduce new elements and often expect you to think outside of the box to solve them. + I usually don't enjoy puzzles in games, but CrossCode's puzzles are very creative and enjoyable. NPC dialogue and writing in general is adequate - nothing particularly impressive, but enjoyable to read nonetheless. They're also every useful companions in combat, but not overpowered. + NPC companions offer natural expositions to the story and game world. Fast travel feels natural, you can mark places of interest into your map. There's simply nothing that's getting in the way of your enjoyment. + UI and ease of use options are all excellent. You often need to try to find ways around obstacles, jump over rivers, bash down trees and blow up hidden walls to reach treasure chests you see in the distance. Combat is the best part of this game and you should familiarize yourself with it from the get-go.

When I first started to play the game, I tried to rush forward in the story and avoid combat. Many times I get that same feeling I got back when I was playing Seiken Densetsu 3 for the first time. + Audiovisually the game is very pleasing. Played some 12 hours now and here are my impressions so far.
