This may be the first substantial DLC for Rise of the Tomb Raider but it also sets a high standard. The incredibly cool hallucenogenic sequences that occur within are very much worth experiencing, even if Lara has no real part in the story. Nabbing a few extra items after completing it is pretty neat too, given their usefulness.
Sickness is not a visual novel for the faint of heart or those looking for a good, comedic romp with adorable anime characters.
The game used in this review was a digital copy supplied by Square Enix.
At this point, Megadimension Neptunia VII just feels like yet another Neptunia game.
There's something to No One But You once you make it through the average slog that is the first half of the game. Had there been more time put into fleshing out the characters and ensuring that the complete game was as exciting as the latter portions, it's possible this could have become a great visual novel to suggest to newcomers. As is, No One But You is a game with some intriguing moments and great artwork but overall feels too disjointed.
Thanks to the unique perspective and concept of the tale itself, the setup of Strawberry Vinegar leaves room for all sorts of potential.
All in all, Go! Go! Nippon! 2015 does a lot to revitalize Overdrive's aging visual novel.
Despite the holidays, Sketchy Logic put out one patch incredibly quickly, but it's safe to say my experience playing Aviary Attorney simply didn't set my heart aflutter. Instead, it might just have broken it.
No matter how you play it, you'll be in for quite a time as MetaHuman's totally unprepared CEO.
Clannad is a visual novel that everyone should complete at least once in their lives.
A surprising amount of controversy has surrounded the release of The Devil on G-String on Steam, likely because it has such a devoted fan following. People feel so intensely about this title for a reason — it features an intriguing storyline that you'll want to see through to its conclusion. Sure, the CGs are cropped, the Japanese voice acting is an expensive addition and there are no 18+ sequences in this version, but the most important aspects still shine through. Those looking for an engaging story to keep them reading for hours on end will want to pick up The Devil on G-String.
This game was reviewed via a digital code received by the publisher.
It's repetitive in its continuous swarms of enemies, challenging in the constant flurry of bullets headed your way and ends up sapping most of the potential fun out of itself. Bedlam may suit your needs if all you need is a trip down FPS memory lane, but you're better off seeking any number of similar titles which actually offer compelling gameplay.
Laserlife had immense potential. Choice Provisions created a game that only they could make, but they did so in a way which doesn't feel complete.
There is a tremendous amount to love about Dropsy (both the game and oddball protagonist). Beyond the positive gameplay focus of bringing joy to everyone around you, the visuals, characters and variety of landscapes provide one heck of an experience.
If you are enchanted by the prospect of Amnesia: Memories, delve right in and see how it subverts otome expectations.
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is great, but this greatness lies primarily with the tale it weaves and character interactions.
Submerged is not a broken game. It functions and provides an intriguing little story over its three hour timespan. However, there's no sense of joy to actually playing. Why isn't there even a feeling of awe when exploring this flooded cityscape? It's incredibly strange how this game managed to flounder so badly but it seems the key factor is uncompelling (and sometimes aggravating) gameplay. Even the most diehard collectible hunters will find it tough to slog through the slow ascent up samey buildings multiple times to grab a new drawing. Submerged had a fabulous idea but its execution simply couldn't stand up to the concept.
The concept behind Guild of Dungeoneering is fantastic and more people should delve into tweaking genres like this. As the game stands, however, there are features that seem missing from a typical "full" release.
Kitty Powers’ Matchmaker falls under the umbrella of casual game, and that’s where its value inherently lies.
