Release Date: February 10, 2022
Continuation of one of the most popular chain shooters. This time the production offers not only multiplayer, but also a feature campaign created by Remedy Entertainment studio, known among others from Quantum Break and the first two parts of the Max Payne series.
CrossFire X is the second installment in the FPS series started back in 2007. In comparison to the original, which is a multiplayer shooter, this time players get at their disposal a game with a single player campaign, which is the result of cooperation between Smilegate (known for the first CrossFire) and Remedy Studios, known for Quantum Break and the first two installments in the Max Payne series.
CrossFire X takes players to a world in which two paramilitary organisations are fighting for influence. On the one side of the barricade there is the Global Risk faction, which brings together in its ranks former special forces soldiers, so that it can undertake dangerous missions around the world. On the other hand, there are mercenaries representing the Black List, focusing on terrorist activity. In the course of the game, players must take sides in the conflict.
In CrossFire X the action is shown from the first person perspective (FPP). The game revolves around realistic battles. The creators provide players with an extensive arsenal, which consists of machine guns and sniper rifles, pistols, melee weapons, grenades, as well as a number of gadgets useful on the battlefield.
CrossFire X offers three variants of gameplay. The first one is a story campaign - the Remedy Studios team worked on it. The second is a competitive multiplayer mode, which is based on the formula developed for the first installment of the series. The third one is the battle royale mode, where the players fight a fierce battle over who will remain on the battlefield as the last one.
CrossFire X features high-quality 3D visuals based on the Unreal Engine 4 technology.

Game Ratings for CrossfireX Video Game.
CGMagazine: 5 / 10 by Khari Taylor
Despite leaning heavily on developer Remedy Entertainment’s impressive Northlight game engine and narrative chops for its brief single-player campaign, CrossfireX is ultimately a poorly-written, half-hearted attempt at reviving Smilegate’s dated CrossFire franchise and is best avoided by all but the most loyal Remedy and CrossFire aficionados
Digital Chumps: 3 / 10 by Steven McGehee
CrossFireX gets little to nothing right, and I don’t take pleasure in saying that. On a technical level, yeah the graphics and framerate and such aren’t bad, but you won’t get to enjoy them because I think you’ll be too distracted with all of the other problems in the game. Voice-acting, the script, the AI, controls, story-telling, the intensely lazy and generic feel of it all, the push for microtransactions — the game is asking players to overlook or otherwise deal with too much. Now, I am an optimistic and forgiving person by nature, but what SmileGate, Remedy, and Microsoft have done here is absolutely regrettable. This game has issues that even patching cannot fix, and I’m typically the first one to point out that games can often be much improved by patching. CrossFireX, though, has problems that run too deep and too broad — and I can’t recommend this game to anyone.
God is a Geek: 4 / 10 by Mick Fraser
CrossfireX has some interesting ideas in Remedy's dual campaigns, but everything else feels dated and generic.
