In many ways, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood succeeds despite itself.
Tumble VR improves upon the original Tumble with all manner of new puzzles and a cute versus mode.
Virtual reality is an incredibly exciting technology. Unfortunately, The Assembly follows safely along the path of other VR games with a functional, but absolutely cumbersome, movement scheme. The good thing about this is it isn’t likely to get players motion sick. On the other hand, it’s unwieldy and undesirable when compared to regular old adventure/exploration gameplay. The storyline and characters prove intriguing, but gameplay fails to support them. As it currently stands, playing The Assembly in VR simply made me yearn to jump to the non-VR version instead. That’s not what gamers should be thinking in the midst of the PSVR launch.
Bound brings players into a divine fantasy setting for only a few hours, but shows third person platforming is possible in VR.
It’s impossible to deny the allure of Rez Infinite.
Harmonia is a bite-sized taste of what VisualArts can do with the visual novel genre.
Even with this issue, it only slightly dampens the experience because Princess Maker 2 Refine is just that good. The simulation gameplay is utterly engrossing as you work to help your daughter down a wide variety of paths.
It must be noted that while fortunately the game never had an issue running on my PC, there have been simply too many reports from gamers to ignore the crashes or save bug as a rarity.
There’s a lot to like about Carrie’s Order Up! The charming concept and visuals enhance its core frantic arcade gameplay.
It might sound like Wheels of Aurelia is a slog, and although it can feel that way on occasion, it is still an enjoyable jaunt across the Via Aurelia.
Project Highrise is the kind of game that grabs a hold of players and doesn’t let go.
Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness brings an established franchise into the visual novel world successfully.
Both audio and visuals are outstanding, showing that a lot of care went into creating this visual novel. This makes it safe to assume that, whatever Minori has planned for future chapters, it will be worth all the incredible effort put into this initial release.
Hatsune Miku games always excel thanks to their libraries of great musical tracks.
Cat President ~A More Purrfect Union~ gives us all a chance to step back from potential fears of the actual impending election and have a laugh at the whole process.
It’s fantastic to see Umineko When They Cry available on Steam.
New Retro Arcade: Neon realizes an immensely cool idea but that idea alone requires further refinement to become a must-play.
With the addition of a slightly pricier 18+ edition you also will get a few minutes of added scenes which smooth out abruptness in the all-ages release. If you’ve got a few hours to kill and are looking for a cute, simple story, then KARAKARA will likely fill the void.
There is a lot to dig while playing VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action.
My Little Kitties is a two to four hour visual novel which might appeal to people looking for a brief view into the life of a high-school aged father, but it is somehow not nearly as cute as the name implies.
