RandomNPC: Cross Edge Review

In the end, Cross Edge is a game that is plagued by too many ideas; too much content. It is almost as if every idea that anyone proposed was implemented in the game. There are some really awesome ideas in it. There are some terrible ideas that detract from the whole as well. With a bit of editing, Cross Edge could have been simply fantastic, but instead, it is a bit disappointing in that it doesn't live up to its own potential. If you make it to the end, the good outweighs the bad, but many people will give up along the way. This game is not for everyone. NISA games have always tended to go after a niche market, but this one takes it a step further. Most players will never be able to finish. Those that do will probably enjoy it, and those that get to the post-game content will find that it redeems some of the past frustration. There is a shining diamond buried within Cross Edge. It's just stuck in a lump of carbon. Deep in a cave. Behind a river of lava. Guarded by a dinosaur. And the dinosaur has laser eyes. 7/10
