First Time Playing CrossCode
In Short: I enjoy a lot I love every puzzle, chest boxes, lore, story, NPCs, Dialogue and developer are creative genius.
I have been playing this game for a week now(44 hours ingame). I have just met up with Satoshi Evotar and basically I think I am at the end now. So, I am just gonna dumped all my thought about this game right here.
THE DIALOGUE
I enjoyed every dialogue in this game whether by the Player or by the NPC of the crosscode. For e.g I love the player who always sits on the table and all his excuses to sits on the table. The guy who is afraid of height from the very start to finish. The guy who meditate/sits on unusual place(I still remember lea saying "Howww?" when he sits on rooftop). The energetic man who is always running. I have tried to interact with everyone in this game possible so, yeah, it was fun it really capture that they are "players who are playing videogames perfectly." A dude wants perfect immersion so 100% senstivitiy lol.I also learned a lot about this world from this interaction like how human has colonized another planet and fast connection/communciation was possible. There was big universal war in the past. Trading credit and cosmetics were banned and many more small detail that make sensible of this crosscode world. Tronny dialogue help a lot too. Yeah, the extra dialogue were so fun to read. The expression of Lea, emillie were so good I could undestand Lea just by expression.
THE WORLD-BUILDING
The developers are geniuses the world building is so good and massive I love it. The terrain the platforming, it's so creatively placed I love it. I spend much of my time exploring every nook and corner of the terrain finding way to reach the chest. The world is so detailed it feels so random but purposeful like real world terrain. It is just so satisfying to reach places. So, much love have been given to this world.
The Dungeon
It's feels like the actual dungeon a very big dungeon with lots of puzzle and enemies. Every room feels unique and after solving the room it's feels satisfying the battle feels smooth. It really checkmarks my imagination of a dungeon perfectly for a MMO RPG. I have solved every room by myself I feel good ngl.
The Lore
When I first played it I feel like it's like sword art online. But slowly as the story unfolded that feeling completely change. After Sergey told that Lea was in Coma and stuck in the video-game I felt like just an actual player in the MMO.RPG with all these player playing the game in real-time. But after Shizuka told Lea was AI it broke me. I have thought about what happens if AI becomes sentient. I got chill when I thought what if, AI has become sentient and consider itself as more like human(with feeling and all) but someone told they aren't human. That what I thought what Lea has felt. Evotar is pretty messed up concept. I love the pacing of the actual lore and the in-game lore too. The in-game lore is also good with all the gods it's feel like greek gods.
The Pacing
For, me it's ideal I didn't grind anything at all I just explore did every quest from every city and yeah, I was all set. Expect for the fact that I could not defeat Shizuka she is lvl 60 and I was only lvl 53 : (.
There are more think I like to share but I will leave it at it.
Some Question
- I still haven't figure out how the captain ship ignore the messy room of that girl.
- If the captain's rocket launcher is real why didn't it instant kill the Gautham god character instantly isn't it made of instant matter ?
- Does things happens differently like if I defeated Shizuka or if I had bring my party member to that sergey place ?
