Touhou Spell Carnival delivers the easy serotonin from moe anime alongside an interesting, innovative and rewarding gameplay with good progression. It's notable that the game aims at a very specific niche: Touhou fans who also enjoy tactic combat. However, those who meet this criteria will definitely find great pleasure in everything the game has to offer.

Though it's part of a vaster universe, Witch on the Holy Night is a self-contained story, a small piece that represents TYPE-MOON's visual novel catalogue. With impeccable direction and writing, this is definitely the best entrypoint for those who wish to know the universe created by Kinoko Nasu, besides being an easy recommendation to those who still hold prejudice against the genre.

Besides being a highly recommended game for fans of otome games who are willing to take on an adventure that offers a reasonable dose of terror and suspense, 9 R.I.P. tells several love stories that speak volumes to people who are in a phase of self-discovery, making it a game that anyone can easily relate to. 9 R.I.P. is also a game that offers a relatively wide range of quality content, which, despite having a few problems, are nowhere near enough to overshadow its brilliance.

At the end of the day, Touhou DANMAKU KAGURA proves to be a solid title within the Touhou Project and is highly recommended for the fans of the series who enjoy musical games.

Right off the bat you can see that Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT- is a game that has its limitations, the question is whether or not the game has been able to use its limited resources to mitigate them. FORESIGHT is a game that does very well in some asspects, but stumbles in others. Overall, the game is able to offer a concise and satisfying experience, largely due to the lighter and less punitive approach to combat, being just the right amount of challenging.

LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW RePOP keeps everything that made the original game establish itself in the industry as a cult classic, with welcoming improvements in quality of life and gameplay. However, performance problems end up making the experience considerably worse than it was on the previous consoles. It takes a certain dedication to ignore so many performance problems all the time.

Overall, I believe that WitchSpring R is certainly a game that will remain in the memory of everyone who gives it a chance.

There is a certain potential in SPYxANYA: Operation Memories, both because of the intellectual property on which it's based and because of the gameplay premise. However, what ended up being delivered was a game that apparently doesn't know its own limitations very well and didn't know how to take advantage of the good ideas and concepts that make up the gameplay premise of the game.

1000xRESIST has many layers, its peculiarities and the variety of genres it explores makes it difficult to classify it and put it in a specific box. Some might interpret it as an adventure, a walking simulator or even a visual novel. But at the end of the day, what remains is a unique narrative experience in one of the best-written games of the generation.

At the end of the day, Moonglow Bay falls into a monotonous gameplay loop that doesn't seem to try very hard to make it interesting. This negative aspect could easily be fixed if the game set out to have a shorter length, it's certainly not a game capable of sustaining itself for many hours like other titles in the genre.

With gameplay aspects that are completely passable and rounded, GYLT isn't one of the most ambitious games in the survival horror genre, but it does offer a unique experience with a lot of singularity, as well as visuals and aesthetics that aren't commonly used in the video game industry, especially when it comes to horror games.

The Legend of Legacy is not a game that appears to be very ambitious in its proposal or execution. Because of that, it ends up not being more than average in almost every aspect. I don't think remastering is enough to entice veterans of the title to try it again, but it's certainly the definitive version for players looking for a JRPG that doesn't have a high level of mechanical and narrative complexity.

Improving on previously presented mechanics while successfully trying to implement new and interesting ones, Experience Inc. has managed to create a world with charismatic characters and a captivating and immersive mystery that is very well followed by satisfying gameplay that flows organically. In conclusion, Death Mark II is an excellent horror game and definitely deserves to be played by fans of the genre despite its setbacks.

Spirit Hunter: NG is in fact a major upgrade over its predecessor. However, it still doesn't reach excellence in any of the aspects that the game does best, except for the art direction. Regardless, the series' potential is still clear, delivering above-average titles that have only improved so far. NG isn't an essential game for fans of the genre, but it offers a solid experience that will surely please most.

Death Mark is sustained purely by its carefully crafted atmosphere while delivering an average story with forgettable characters, but still managing to deliver a satisfying, though simple, gameplay loop. It's far from bad, but it's disappointing because it falls a little short of becoming a great game.
