The game looks fantastic, with a lovely pixelated art style, and it generally ran fairly well on both my PC and my Steam Deck, although I did have some issues with stuttering and lag on my Steam Deck.

I think of Zelda, but I think that CrossCode really ups the difficulty and creativity with their puzzle design, and I usually found myself overthinking some of them, but the puzzles are much more simpler than you think.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

While there's no voice acting, the dialogue is especially well written, and I loved how easy it was to hear the various accents for different characters in my head.
