SINce Memories: Off The Starry Sky is an extremely boring game, with a sloppy localization. Sometimes, we find great games, but that didn't take much care in their localization, or other times, we find average games, but that took a lot of care in their translation.

After more than two decades, we have received part of the history of Tsukihime with the remake Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-. From beginning to end, it's an engaging, interesting, sad, tragic, and very, very beautiful story.

Unfortunately, The Quintessential Quintuplets – Memories of a Quintessential Summer doesn't serve a single relevant purpose. It doesn't serve as an engaging visual novel, as an interesting add-on to the series, or even as a fun game to play.

KONOSUBA – God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Love For These Clothes Of Desire! it's a game that doesn't have much reason to be, even for KONOSUBA fans. The tedious gameplay, low production value, and very poor localization mean that there is very little left for those who still want to give the game a chance.

With nostalgic DNA, the remaster of The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails should please longtime Falcom fans, but newer fans may not fit too well into the "loop" and constraints of the original release.
