"Your enjoyment of Azur Lane: Crosswave will almost entirely rely on your affinity for gawking at anime girls. If that doesn&s;t align with your tastes then you&s;ll likely be disappointed by the mostly tedious and repetitive experience offered here."

"Good gameplay takes time to shine as it is overshadowed by long scenes of dialogue and too short and repetitive battles, where you can barely see the real potential of the time investment made in Kansen girls. The game really …"

"Azur Lane: Crosswave doesn&s;t harbour ambitions to be more than it really is and, though it may be a bit underwhelming, it at least doesn&s;t outstay its welcome. It&s;s perfectly happy to just provide some hours of mild entertainment without …"

"Azur Lane: Crosswave is a game with a number of problems. Its gameplay is boring, lacks variety, and the story segments aren’t all that good either. Sure, it has the excellent character designs that helped popularize the mobile game and …"

"Despite the rather negative sounding review, Azur Lane: Crosswave isn&s;t a bad game, it&s;s just nothing particularly special. Fans of Neptunia will likely enjoy the silly antics of cute girls, but others will probably fail to see the appeal. It&s;s …"

"Azure Lane Crosswave is a poor 3D shooter, with a lot of grind to unlock everything, and poor visual novel sections. Despite the game is quite sexy, some caracters look too young to appear in it. A shame."
