The idea behind Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories is pretty good, but it can't unfold its potential: On the one hand it's telling you that your choices matter, on the other hand it's just a linear game without any real consequences. It seems that even it's techniques are from the olden days, especially on the scripting part and the uninspired NPC who are still doing what they were doing before the world collapsed. Nonetheless, the design of the characters is great and the soundtrack is amazing, but none of these two things will help Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories to become a blockbuster.

I had fun with Symmetry even with the controls making me furious. Somehow ... Symmetry plays like a part of something bigger, like a demo of a game that could turn out great. Somewhere, there has to be a big DLC that brings the actual content ... or not? It's nice for one playthrough, but I don't see a real reason to play Symmetry ever again.

Do you know how it is to read a really, really good book and you're sad when it ends? When you flip the last page and would like to have the same experience all over again? This is how Half Past Fate works. It's a videogame that feels like a really good novel. For me, it's a nearly perfect experience that I won't ever forget.

I love being alone in The Longing. I love that it's a game that decelerates. I love that it's a game that makes me care for myself, for example wanting me to just a read a book for a few hours. Everyone looking for a quiet and caring game should have a look at The Longing.

Max Gentlemen Sexy Business! is different than I thought. It's more time management than dating or "making love". The dates don't really have a meaning but they tell you interesting stories. You shouldn't look for historic accuracy, however. Max Gentlemen Sexy Business! has an interesting setting with an easy gameplay - it's much easier than other tycoon games. It's a recommendation when you look for a dating sim AND a tycoon game - both aspects are good, if not great.

EQQO on Switch isn't a good experience. The narrator and soundtrack are great, but this kind of fascination is missing from the rest of the game. Controls aren't intuitive at all and many technical issues cause a lot of frustration. Thinking of EQQO, I'll remember two things: A great story and a lack of fun.

Florence tells a wonderful story about first love. You can see how love grows and goes and be part of a great story. It's over after around 40 minutes and I couldn't have any influence on what's happening, but that just meant that I wanted to experience more of this game. Florence is as delicate as a flower and as mighty as a storm.

The beginning of Rune Factory 4 is weird and nearly made me give up. However, once I'd passed the first few hours, I was rewarded with a very diverse gameplay. I won't get to love the story, but developing the city just like I want it to is the game's major gain.

LUNA takes a bit too long to unfold all its potential. When it does, however, it is an enjoyable experience with a great soundtrack and superb atmosphere. It's a good game for puzzle fans because sometimes it's not easy. The style is extraordinary - we felt that it's made by true artists.
