AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead and Undressed Director's Cut is a gift for all otakus, being more an eccentric city simulator than a masterpiece, but still, its unique gameplay system, destroying enemies through strip, is interesting and strangely funny. The references to the electronic city are the game's charm and, although I've never visited Akihabara, I was able to capture several points of otaku culture represented in the game. It may not be the best within its genre, but if you're an otaku and want to feel a little nostalgic for the past, AKIBA'S TRIP might be a good choice to spend a few afternoons relaxing uncompromisingly.

Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening is a great game from a lesser-known franchise in the West, but one that certainly deserves recognition from strategist enthusiasts. There are some problems executing commands in the console version and its learning barrier is a little more demanding, but those who persist for three or four games will be rewarded with an extremely complex game, full of different strategies to win and completely addictive. Its replayability potential is incredible with so many clan options to control and surely hundreds of hours can be enjoyed in it.

The experience is somewhat cool but it's not a game that will be remembered on the Switch [library]. The recommendation is strictly to Kizuna AI's hardcore fans who can think of the game as a sort of interactive Blu-Ray. In sum, we just hope they add more content (especially free ones) in the future.

In the midst of an uninteresting relationship system, a confusing plot, characters without depth, poor game optimization and battles without strategy, it is difficult to find positive points in Loop8. Its scenarios are certainly beautiful at times, the female characters also have beautiful models and a cute design, but the lack of optimization, lack of depth and quantity of dialogues and game events, extremely repetitive system, confusing and poorly elaborated plot and combats without emotions certainly doesn't make Loop8 a game I'd recommend to anyone other than those who are hardcore Gunparade March fans. It's really a shame, because I really wanted to like the game and I believe that if it had been better worked on, it would have become a good game.

Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook brought the idea of surviving in a dungeon eating only monsters, insects and plants found inside it to the game world. The concept is something that still has ample room in the market and the game even manages to be a little fun but its slow progression, lack of narrative, lack of remarkable characters and excessively repetitive cycle end up hindering it, making it a game I'd only recommend to fans of the genre but, even then, there are other games of its style that will bring more satisfaction with the time you invest in them.

In sum, Winter’s Wish: Spirits of Edo is an average title that may even be worth playing if you're interested in some character or have few options for your next translated otome to read, but I question the choice of localizing this specific visual novel, as there are many games in Otomate's catalogue better in both romance and narrative. Unfortunately, Winter’s Wish's story doesn't manage to be a highlight in battles or the relationships with the boys.

Dokapon Kingdom: Connect is a really fun board game, different from other options on the market thanks to its RPG style and characters of all kinds and shapes. It has its flaws, mainly regarding the lack of more explanatory tutorials, small graphical glitches, lack of voices in Japanese, long games and questionable leveling of the computers. Still, it's a game worth investing in if you want a new game to play both online with faraway friends and just an activity to spend your weekends with your family and friends offline.

Tales of Symphonia Remastered is a good game that had the misfortune of receiving a bad remastering, or rather “demastering”. Yes, it is possible to complete the title in its entirety on the console, however, it is not the best way to play, especially when there are other official distributions that are more affordable and, even with flaws, with fewer errors than this specific version.
