The look and sound of CROSSNIQ+ is committed to fully and is so stylish you can find yourself easily swept up in the aesthetic. It suits the color matching play well enough, but it also feels like the coat of paint is doing more for the game than the substance of the cross making action. The timer doesn’t add the kind of pressure that leads to exciting battles for high scores, things more dependent on the negative pieces eventually becoming a bit too much to handle at a point that often sneaks up on you. It works well enough up until that sometimes surprise ending, and while Versus can add some intensity despite the barriers to play it, the modes don’t offer too much else of depth to make this the kind of puzzle game you can get stuck into for hours.
