Not only that, the combat was also utter jank.
If you play with M+KB, you can aim as good as the game clearly expects you to. But you will rapidly develop RSI from the spam-clicking, nevermind how the melee attack has the weirdest input I've seen in a long time.
If you use a controller, most controls work fine, but in return you cannot aim that well. Which is still preferrable, but the game clearly originally built for precise aiming.
Combined with how janky all the enemy attacks and hit boxes are, it just feels frustrating. Plus the difficulty is wild, 90%+ are boringly easy, and then the odd totally normal enemy wipes you in seconds.
The comment you replied to reminded me how much I wanted to love Crosscode, and yet I also "bounced off" it (amazing phrase).
Your comment made me understand why I bounced off of it. I had exactly the same experience as you, with the controls.
