One of the few games I would consider to be perfect. It has great gameplay (although the rail shooter segments are kinda inferior to the third-person shooter segments), a pretty good story, great music and some of the funniest dialogues I've seen in a video game. Seriously, Sakurai is an actual comedy genius, and it definitely shows.
The characters deserves a special mention, because the entire cast (except cameo characters like Poseidon) is amazing. Hades is by far the best character, and one of the best villains Nintendo ever cooked.
The game's approach towards difficulty is also one of the best I've seen. You can spend hearts (the game's money) to make missions either easier or harder. The catch is that making levels harder gives you access to new areas, which usually gives you very strong weapons and/or gifts, creating an interesting risk/reward system. In fact, the system was so good Sakurai decided to reuse it in Super Smash Bros.
If you're ever in a position to play 3DS games, this is a must-play. Though keep in mind the controls are notoriously bad, especially for left-handed people. Changing anything from the controls makes it much harder to play, and can actually hurt your hands in some cases (I'm speaking from experience)
If you're still not convinced: the game has a mode where you can spend all your money for a goddess (Palutena or Viridi) to gradually walk up towards the screen until you get a close-on of their face. Peak gaming

Very good DLC. It comes with an additional area (which is mostly there for grinding and Ascended gear tbh), a new dungeon filled with what makes CrossCode itself (which is both a good and a bad thing because that ALSO means the puzzles are back). The dungeon's bosses are also very fun to fight, specifically the final one which is very cool
The added story content is very nice too! However most of it is spoilers territory for the base game, so I won't say anything in case someone clicks here without having finished the game.
TL;DR: it's worth it! Just make sure you get the good ending in the base game

My favorite indie game so far, and the one who reignited my love for action RPGs. It just has everything I like: lovable characters (Emilie #1 btw), fast-paced combat, a good story, cool dungeons and a kickass soundtrack. The platforming can be a bit hard because of its top-down 2D nature, and the puzzles can be completely absurd at times (especially in the endgame), but trust me, it's completely worth it.
