Catherine: Full Body brings additional content inconsequentional to the story and great improvements to the gameplay. Regardless of the version you choose, Catherine continues to be a great experience to players interested in great stories or unconventional puzzles.

Daedalus The Awakening of Golden Jazz is one of the few japanese investigation games we'll see in this generation. Whether you like it or not, it's part of an interesting niche and I'd recommend this one more to those fans than the public in general.

Empty, generic and even offensive, Our World is Ended misses the mark and wastes your time and money as a gamer. Well, at least it's pretty.

Steins;Gate Elite is a new version of one of the genre's biggest names. For a new release that has apparently taken half step forward and two steps back, it's still a great game with a surprising and incredible story.
