Easy recommendation
If you ever wanted to play an MMORPG but instead of it being multi-player it was just a well crafted single-player experience, then this is the game for you. Combat is smooth and slick, the puzzles are difficult but not too difficult, there are a ton of secrets to find, and the game is just oozing with care and polish. Highly recommended.

TLDR: buy it
TLDR: buy it. You owe it to yourself. Give it some time to warm up; this one's a slow cooker for about 10 hours. I was perusing through Steam to see what was labeled "Overwhelmingly Positive" that I haven't heard of yet. I stumbled upon CrossCode...and figured I'd hate it. 1: Another copy of a Snes style game? ugh. 2: set in an MMO world as a single player game? UGH. 3: Silent...protagonist....uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh Gotta say, I was pretty wrong on all 3 counts. I'm glad I was. 1: CrossCode is a game written in HTML 5, and this is a 16 bit game done right. It has a unique battle mechanic involving a sort of pinball-esque throwing system paired with a melee. It's easy to learn, difficult to master. PERFECT. 2: It IS set in a MMO, but the plot is done in a way that I haven't seen 1000 times over. Nobody is trapped in the game, and there's a reason the setting exsits within it. I won't spoil anything, but the plot is very well thought out and executed. 3: Lea is silent for a reason. And even within that, she can say a few key wods. Her vocabulary expands as the game progresses, and it's really interesting to see how much she can actually say with so little. This sort of ties in with the plot, but Radical Fish found a way to throw in that trope in a new and interesting way. All in all I just finally beat the game after 130 hours. And boy am I glad I misjudged this game. It is a great addition to my library and I'll be vehemently recommending it to anyone who's a fan of ARPGs, or even just RPGs. Also, if you want to know HOW much I liked this game, this is literally my first review on Steam. Ever.
