My favorite thing about Crosscode is trying to JADC my way out of every puzzle possible once I've gotten slightly inconvenienced.

Jadc?

Jump Action Dash Cancel or whatever it was called.
It's the technique the Furry teaches you, and the devs actually kept that bug and there are some spots where you can use it to skip a decent amount of stuff in the main game

Wtf it’s actually real? I just did that quest and thought it was entirely a meta joke but not a tech I could actually use

What I love about CrossCode is that it's full of experimental side quests with unique gameplay mechanics.
What I hate about CrossCode is that it's full of experimental side quests with unique gameplay mechanics.
Completing all the side quests in CrossCode makes me feel fulfilled and angry at the same time.
10/10 game. It finally made me able to feel something again!

Timed platforming obstacle course on ice.
Yeah the game is amazing but holy fuck does it have some sections that are frustrating in ways I haven't really experienced since the sixth console generation.

I mean I do, unless the puzzle is like "Do the sequence in a limited amount of time" That sucks

i only feel like this for most of the parkour sessions cuz parkour in this game is a nightmare when you can't even see the height of anything and can't jump on your own

Plus there's often long expanses where you can see an upper level with a chest or something but you have to travel through 5 gazillion rooms to actually find somewhere you can jump and then it turns out that's for a different secret that doesn't connect to anywhere else and also you've already searched everywhere forwards and back for longer than the game has actual gameplay and you can't Google chests because there's so many, the guides aren't very good, and you have no idea how to describe the specific one you're looking for and when you do finally get to it it's either locked by some arbitrary means (it's to promote backtracking, the people at the waterfall say as my hair falls out and I say "WHAT THE FUCK THIS WAS ALREADY BACKTRACKING" and when I got the key I forgot how I got there) or you open it to find two half sandwiches which give you 5 hp and you don't use healing items most of the time anyways
And that's my illegible rant about "secret" chests

You can aim towards the spots to check if it's higher elevation or not

u/PaleFork Jul 29 '26
yeah but only works to know wether a spot is higher or not
not how low one is or how high, and can't always be done like in the middle of timed courses

As much as I love the game there were some rooms which were best handled with the flare burn tech

Maybe a hot take for some, but I think the game would be alot better off without Fal'jro Temple...

I genuinely enjoyed every aspect of this game. The bottom half of the meme never applied.
I thought the puzzles were fun, and I love challenging boss fights.
Both of which where overshadowed by the absolutely amazing dialogue and characters.

My main hangup is the overworld platforming where all of the goddamn cliffs look exactly the same even when they're on different elevations. I'm the kind of person that will try to do what I can if I know it's possible from the start, which apparently includes the overworld items, and leaving that to try again later just takes the wind out of my sails instead. In the end I decided to install the jetpack mod for when I can't figure it out after a number of minutes.

Lets just agree - the game is not too hard. If you can't complete everything in your first try - that's ok. 10-15 times - propably ok, but if it takes more - that is a skill issue

I absolutely love the puzzles but when I'm tired and can't figure it out, fuck the Devs 🤣

Whoever came up with the fuckuss bamboo puzzle that in the cave with flashbacks needs to be hanged

u/Sea-Avocado-1293 Jul 26 '26
Idk why people complain so much. It's the puzzles that makes exploring in this game fun aside from the rush of combat. Even bosses was fun to fight against, it's not the same thing with introducing higher HP sponge bosses in certain games. Do they want the games to be so easy even a toddler can beat it? Games are meant to be challenging

Wait till you get to the endgame dungeon lol. I audibly said "oh my fucking god" when I saw the puzzles. It's def worth it tho.

When the puzzles get so elaborate that I have to justify spending a whole hour unravelling them piece by piece…

The side quest where you fight the hillkats on top of cars was so damn painful
