CrossCode

Its a ... giant puzzle game. Enemy types/encounters and bosses are puzzles, platforming and traversal are puzzles, the maps themselves are puzzles while dungeons themselves are distilled form of them. There is also competent combat system sprinkled on top of it, which can get a little bit repetitive. The setting might be a deterrent for some since the plot happens in VR MMO, but it avoids the usual tropes and is quite enjoyable. Overall, if you avoid spoiling yourself on solutions, all the “aha” moments will be worth your while.

I really enjoyed the game! I will miss exploring cliffs for jumping points to treasure chests... and the dungeon puzzles were so good. The DLC is a must, so much extra content! Bye, Lea!

The biggest issue with this game is difficulty in gauging the height of objects when jumping around/finding routes to treasures, but if you stick with it, you'll adapt eventually. There's also the occasional white flash, but there's a guide to deal with that if it's a problem. Now for the good stuff. The dungeons take Zelda-like to a whole new level as far as the puzzles are concerned. The boss fights are very engaging and must be taken seriously, but they are totally beatable, especially if you're willing to experiment with both items and abilities. Completionists will get rewarded here because TROPHIES ACTUALLY MATTER! Those familiar with the Tales of series will be able to understand why. Finally, GET THE NEW HOME DLC! Totally worth.
