Short, cheap and comforting, despite not innovating the genre, A Winter's Daydream serves as "comfort food" for visual novel fans that are looking for a more brief experience.

Despite not delivering what it promised and sounding like a step back after so many new experiences developed by Experience, Mon-Yu still manages to offer at least the essential experience and entertain familiar players with the genre.

Inspired by more established titles in the market, Process of Elimination delivers a suitable experience, with a premise well known to the public, but with a complexity below of that from its inspirations.

Despite being technically competent, Grim Guardians: Demon Purge fails by playing too safe in certain aspects, leaning too much on its inspirations, and also by not paying attention to simple and basic things expected from the genre. In the end, it delivers an average and unimpressive experience.

Yomawari: Lost in the Dark is a new game in the franchise five years after its last, delivering familiar gameplay and setting for fans of the series, but losing the opportunity to reinvent itself and target a wider public.

Initially engaging, Yurukill: The Calumniation Games brings its conclusion far too soon, without taking advantage of its interesting cast and premise. The sum of its parts is worth it, but if you are a fan either of mystery games or shmup, the game doesn't sustain itself.

Heart of the Woods is a perfectly fine visual novel, a good introduction to those that have never played an OELVN. However, it has clichés and a story that is divided between a romance that doesn't seem very believable and a mystery with a predictable outcome, not reaching its full potential and ends up leaving something to be desired.

Maitetsu: Pure Station brings the tranquility of a rural japanese city, the strength of its people, the tragedy that shaped its protagonist and the railway premise of the old trying to survive in the modern world, all in a single package.

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.

Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms is the second half of one of the most known stories of the genre. Despite being a quality title, it is a tough recommendation in a time of more interesting releases.

With a twist on the amnesiac protagonist trope, The Longest Five Minutes brings an unprecedented premise, but it doesn't save the game from blending into the crowd.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows rides the wave from a horror standout from last year, but it fails to bring something new to the table and exaggerates in what made the first game so special.

Tokyo Xanadu proves that Falcom can do no wrong, but at the same time, it proves that your strength is in celebrating what they've built through all these years and not in getting inspiration from other games.

Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~ brings an overdone premise with a reasonable romance. Despite its lack of innovation, it's still a pleasant experience for fans of the genre that have been waiting for more until now.

Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is an expanded release of the first half of a game that's already available on several platforms. With an unorthodox approach, it continues to be a great game, even if it loses the focus of its target audience.

Cosmic Star Heroine overpromised, underdelivered, and yet it still managed to be an interesting game with an unique humor for fans of the genre attracted to the aesthetics of older generations.

Nurse Love Addiction is a harmless game, with fun characters and a very light plot. Recommended for those that want to get distracted with a story that albeit a little generic, doesn't fail to make the player smile.

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.
