Alright, so CrossfireX has been out for a little while now, and hopefully you've had a chance (if you're interested) to check it out. We all saw the initial impressions, which unfortunately weren't good at all, and even led to the game's Executive Producer issuing a personal apology for the state of the game at launch.
The multiplayer in particular has been getting criticism so far for its lack of content and poor controls, which developer Smilegate has responded to, promising a variety of improvements starting in late February and early March.
Meanwhile, the Xbox Game Pass launch of the Operation Catalyst campaign was delayed by five days, and it's a shame because it's actually alright — it's just a bit generic and bland, as we noted in our "hands on" feature about it.
But what about you? Not everyone's going to have the same opinion about CrossfireX, so we're interested to know how you'd review the game based on what you've played so far. Is it as bad as some people are saying, or are you actually quite enjoying your time with it? Give us your score down in the comments below.

Excluding multiplayer, which I've avoided completely, and finally starting the Catalyst Campaign it's a solid 7/10. If you go in expecting a AAA shooter you'll be disappointed, but with tempered expectations I have to say it's enjoyable. I'll probably pick up the Spectre campaign when it's on sale, so that says it's not quite as bad as some are saying. Plays like an old early gen PS3/360 shooter if that makes sense.
It's a 7, the campaign looks nice and it's really fun, the only bad thing is that both campaigns are like 5hrs long in total
Its a 7, good looking competent shooter. Just nothing really special.
It felt odd to control to me. Very floaty almost delayed and unresponsive.
Deleted it, plenty other stuffs to play.
To me, it was a game that proved to make a CoD game is harder than some think. It is essentially the weakest/worst made CoD game with no identity of its own (except the Bullet time thing).
@Kooky_Daisuke Infernax that got a 9/10 here is “abysmal”? Or Dreamscaper that has an 85 on Metacritic? Wow. In that case, I hope we get more abysmal games on GamePass!
It's a 7 for me. I've enjoyed it so far.
The sensitivity definitely plays better on the XSX at 120fps than my XSS at 60fps, it needs tweaking for 60, it's a little sluggish.
Otherwise I like it, nice graphics too.
@Kooky_Daisuke You also said this was “Abysmal just like all the Game Pass offerings for February.” How could you say that about all the other GP games this month if you don’t even like games in those genres? That was the statement I was referring too. It’s fine for it to be the “worst month” for you but to call all the other games this month abysmal just because they aren’t the type of games you like is ridiculous. There’s plenty of games I don’t like due to preferences but I wouldn’t say they are abysmal.
@Kooky_Daisuke I get you not liking specific games it's just the wording. I don't think you offended anyone.
Ill be honest I took it as you saying every game was just overall classified as garbage.
I would say this is just generally the weakest month for gamepass that I can remember for myself (I also am enjoying quite a few games myself). Just doesn't have that same feeling like we had last feb-march or even last oxtober-december
@awp69 If it isn’t a AAA cinematic third person action adventure with a metacritic of 90+, it’s trash. Didn’t you know that?
I mean I think CrossfireX is garbage so I certainly don’t think everything on Xbox is “oh wow, it’s awesome!”. I just personally think a lot of people are missing out on great games that aren’t some AAA shooter. God forbid I point out a few good indie games. I’m honestly thankful to GamePass for introducing me to games that I may never have bought.
4/10 seems fair. I wouldn't even call it average because that would be an insult to an average effort. The game feels early access and that's my biggest complaint along with a general lack of ways to enjoy the game. The online multiplayer feels highly restrictive and there is nothing in the way of single player outside of a lame campaign.
@AdamCorela saving that line for later use.
Ok just finished the free campaign and it was good. The second half is only 10 bucks. People are really entitled if they think this is below average. Especially at that price. I played way worse games than I paid 60 for. Review scores right now are lower than Anthem, in my eyes that's just ridiculous.
The launch was rocky but they fixed it. People just jump right on the hate train for this one. If it was a Sony release people would praise the quality of the game in combo with the very low entry fee.
If you haven't given this one a chance just give it a go it's good.
I will put my money where my mouth is and buy the second half.
(only advise, switch to performance mode.)
(Edit: I am about 45 min into the second campaign. Better than the first campaign half. (Environment/story/gameplay flow.))
@Kooky_Daisuke I can only agree with you - and it was clear you were talking about 'your feelings' - which is, after all the whole point of having a comments section! Ignore the defence force that will inevitably try and discredit your opinion
How poor Febs games have been, has been a theme explored by many sites this month, so you are not alone in your thoughts.
There's nothing for me this month, but given how much I'm enjoying HFW on the 'other' system, that's probably just as well, as I'd be moaning I don't have time to finish them all otherwise!
With GT7 out shortly I can only hope GP has a slow next month too, or I'm cramming!
Its not a criticism of GP as a service, because you'd expect hit months and miss months - unless you genuinely love everything
