Rob MacIntosh at NookGaming

Jun 16, 2025 | Score 70

“It’s difficult for me to really pin down exactly how I feel about A Tithe In Blood on the whole. Its setup, its theming, and its presentation are all incredible, making for a memorable experience with reading the visual novel. As a story of the experience of grief and living through it, I connected with it quite a lot. Once it gets to actually having to progress its narrative, however, things gradually get shakier and shakier in the way it pieces together its various sections, and it features an overall letdown of a conclusion. While in its set-up act, it’s one of the most emotionally resonant and striking parts of a visual novel I’ve read in some time. Unfortunately, by the time I was done, I spent more time dwelling on how I felt about the story rather than the impact it had on me, the sign of something with a share of missed potential with the direction it took. Still, there are compelling aspects to this story and a lot that I did really like about it. There is something genuine beneath it all, and I found I got more out of it than I do from a lot of attempts at this subject matter. It won’t work for everyone and the story that it tells is rough and uneven, but it manages to have the memorable good aspects to stand out just enough.”

“The Alters is a resource management and choice game that explores different versions of oneself through clones created by a substance called Rapidium. The protagonist, Jan, must navigate survival on an inhospitable planet, managing his ship and the alters, alternate versions of his life. Combining third-person exploration and management, the game challenges the player to make decisions that shape the fate of Jan and his clones. Its narrative explores identity, choices, and the consequences of our actions throughout life. With multiple endings, the game offers an addictive and reflective experience.”

“Wizard of Legend 2 is a smart sequel. It grows the formula, expands the world, and doubles down on build variety without losing the core “magic” that made the original stand out. Yes, the combat feeling has changed, and no, it’s not quite as tight. But the added depth, visual upgrade, and co-op potential more than make up for it, if the technical side keeps improving.”

“Affordable and gorgeous, there’s no real reason why fans of NEKOPARA shouldn’t pick up NEKOPARA After. Featuring the same cast of cute catgirls with their familiar shenanigans, it reinforces its already successful formula of high-quality visual assets by making good use of the e-mote system to provide a reading experience that is both heartwarming and pleasing to the eyes. Just be careful of suddenly diving into the experience. The water level on the beach is pretty shallow and is only really going to appeal to people who want a little extra time with their favorite catgirls and to see Shigure finally have her moment, even if it isn't as well done as it could have been.”
