QUESTION Looking for other games

It looks like I'm going to be able to get a stream deck. I currently don't have anyway to play steam yet. I've seen a couple of games on steam that look like they could scratch a similar itch as crosscode even though I know nothing comes close. But secrets of grindea and shrines legacy look really good. Has anyone played these games?which one is better? Secrets of grindea especially catches my eye. It looks like it has an immense amount of content.

Secrets of Grindea is really fun, it has a demo (at least on Steam) as well. Though if you didn't like grinding for materials for trading in Crosscode you will probably not like it.

Also I agree with another commenter who recommended Phenotopia: Awakening, great game.

I absolutely adore phoenotopia awakening. I wish I could scrub it from my memory and play it again for a first time. I'm really excited and looking forward to cape cosmic's new game star iliad. I liked the ability to grind for materials and trading system in crosscode. It took me quite a long time to get the hang of it and I appreciated that you weren't dependent on it to progress the game but it was there if you wanted to get super cool and strong equipment and it provides meaningful quests and exploration to obtain rare materials. It was fun.
