What's more, only the host actually makes story progress when you play online. Cross-platform co-op is certainly nice to have - PS4 players can group with those on mobile or Nintendo Switch - but waving goodbye to your buddies after a couple of dungeon runs just isn't the same. Without local co-op, there's no doubt that Crystal Chronicles loses some of its magic. Here, you wander alone until it's time for action. In the original game, you got to journey alongside your friends, travelling the roads and exploring peaceful towns as a team. Instead of simply grouping up with your pals and heading out on an adventure together, you join with other players on a dungeon-by-dungeon basis. For most games that's not an issue, but online co-op is handled badly in Crystal Chronicles.
