Vampire Therapist is a unique visual novel developed by Little Bat Games, featuring an eye-catching art style and diverse character designs. The game focuses on mental health, incorporating vampire characters who fit different tropes and introducing CBT concepts showing that even vampires need a little therapy and TLC sometimes. It also includes engaging mini-games and maintains an enjoyable storytelling experience through voiced character interactions and a humorous storyline.
Creatures of Ava is a great game for those looking to explore a new world in an exciting way. The graphics and sound make the world feel real and add so much immersion to the game. The story is also simple enough to allow you to jump in and out of the game, which is great for a relaxing game you may want to play for just an hour at a time rather than all at once.
Closer The Distance is a fantastic game told in a beautiful way. The gameplay adds to the story in a way that helps you understand how a tragedy can affect a whole town. Every character feels deliberate, as if they exist with a purpose in the story, feeling fleshed out with a history rather than existing just to be a character in the town. The sound and graphics add to the story, both being beautiful and making the world more unique and real.
In the landscape of remakes and remasters, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a gorgeous experimental title that blends action and tower defense perfectly into a package that pays homage to traditional Japanese culture with its combat and presentation based on Kagura and Bunraku, made by Capcom. Play this game if you appreciate works of art and Japanese culture.
All in all CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a terrific title for shoot ‘em up fans. It has everything they need, such as a twisting take on the gameplay, the rudimentary plot of kicking alien butt, an RPG system to make your ship your own custom weapon, and even a mandatory co-op mode for your partner or friend to enjoy the game as well. It just requires some tweaks here in there, especially in the graphics department, to be enjoyed thoroughly, but still plays and feels like any other arcade shoot ’em up.
The game’s success hinges on whether the humor tickles your funny bone, so you’ll probably either be rolling on the floor laughing or scratching your head in confusion. It’s rare for a game to make me belly laugh, so I can safely say the humor struck a chord with me. I strongly recommend you check Thank Goodness You’re Here!, especially if you’re British!
REVEIL is a fantastic horror game that doesn’t fall short in terms of thrills or stories. It’s a great first-person horror game for those who have enjoyed games like Silent Hills and Amnesia, especially with its great graphics and sound engineering.
Minds Beneath Us offers a gripping cyberpunk story with engaging characters and addictive gameplay, and while the emphasis on reading and decision-making may not be for everyone, the game’s unique approach and detailed graphics make it worth considering for fans of visual novels and cyberpunk themes.
Shift 87 is a gripping observational horror game developed by Pixelsplit Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment. With its spot-the-difference gameplay, it offers an immersive and unsettling experience in three different environments. The minimalist narrative and exceptional sound design contribute to the eerie atmosphere of Shift 87 and captivate the player on the hunt for anomalies. Shift 87 is a short horror game that offers a uniquely satisfying and rewarding experience for fans of the genre.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an ambitious blend of gunpowder and mythical elements set in a world where gods and undead armies threaten humanity. While the game introduces intriguing concepts and features a well-designed companion in Enki, it ultimately falls short due to disjointed combat mechanics, inconsistent dialogue, and frustrating level design.
The Star Named EOS is a beautifully hand-drawn puzzle adventure that follows Dei, a young photographer, on a sentimental journey to uncover the truth about his mother's past through recreating old photographs. With clever escape room-esque puzzles and a captivating storyline, this game offers a short yet emotionally rich experience for fans of narrative-driven games.
SCHiM captivates players with its unique art style and simple yet engaging gameplay, where you guide a shadow creature through various challenges in a visually striking world. The game successfully combines emotional storytelling with inventive level design, offering a memorable experience despite occasional accessibility issues and minor gameplay setbacks.
B-PROJECT RYUSEI*FANTASIA is an Otome Visual Novel where you have to look after the idol career of 14 different boys. At first, all seems well and could leave one to feel carefree, but then everything takes an intense shift. Survive, for you must push these boys to the top.
From my time as a player of Princess Maker 2: Regeneration, it is impossible to not notice those features of the game, but I would still deem it to be a game worth your time. It is a proper look back at titles of the past and Japanese pop culture. The game itself is addictive and poses to be a challenge many players would not be expecting unless they are already familiar with the franchise. A fix here and there would have gone a long way for this remaster, nonetheless, it was a very memorable gaming experience for me which I will not forget anytime soon.
For those who like rogue-lite games with rapid action and well-considered choices, The Land Beneath Us is a great choice. While it is unable to innovate in many areas, its mechanical execution is still top-notch. The plot and presentation are adequate, but not particularly noteworthy when contrasted with other games in the genre.
There does not appear to be much more I can say about Zenless Zone Zero other than to reiterate my views on topics on which many people agree since it has only recently been released and has limited material that will be expanded upon in future updates. Because of my own tastes and expectations, I found the experience to be insufficient. Still, if Hoyoverse wishes for the fans of their previous games to deeply care about this newly released one, they should consider changing things quite a bit.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is yet another contemporary classic. Starting a fresh storyline after four games in a row and a reunion sequel is hardly an easy task, but Nihon Falcom pulled it off well. Even while the LGC alignment method is brilliant, it might be too ambitious, and engagement could suffer due to the lack of difficulty in battle. In any case, the following titles may address these concerns. Though longtime and new fans of The Legend of Heroes will certainly find unique change in almost every imaginable area of The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak.
In the context of firsthand retellings of personal life stories, Until Then shines as an excellent example of using every clever advantage an interactive storytelling medium can use. Employing a charming art style and witty writing that feels just right, within its 6 to 8-hour playtime let yourself be transported to a bygone era where everything felt more easygoing yet catastrophic at the same time.
Noreya: The Gold Project is a lovingly made Metroidvania that does indeed stand out from the countless other titles of this genre that come out each year. With its cool mechanics, interesting ideas, beautiful visuals, and an endgame that makes you feel like a badass, Noreya: The Gold Project is a solid Metroidvania that reminded me of my early days of gaming and it is a game that should not be overlooked.
Slay the Princess stands out from the crowd because of its original take on the game story, which rejects the status quo and embraces innovation. Make sure you have enough time and interest in visual novels to the point where you can complete the game.
