“Class of Heroes 3 Remaster is the improvement of a genre that Acquire helped build throughout all these years.”

“Missing the opportunity of bringing a new chapter to the series, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate is a basic revisiting of a competent beat 'em up.”

“The first in a long series of games, Never 7 - The End of Infinity didn't age so well like others from the same era and delivers an outdated experience.”

“Urban Myth Dissolution Center brings a beautiful and fresh experience to a niche genre that doesn't get enough attention nowadays, but doesn't quite stick the landing.”

“One of the genres biggest foundations, Ever 17: The Out of Infinity is a mandatory game for visual novel fans.”

“SINce Memories: Off The Starry Sky is an extremely boring game, with a sloppy localization. Sometimes, we find great games, but that didn't take much care in their localization, or other times, we find average games, but that took a lot of care in their translation.”

“A successful showcase in showing that there are great stories in unusual games, Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch has the ability to resonate emotionally in a way that few games attempt with their target audience.”

“Fruit of its time, Princess Maker 2 Regeneration should please only the most ardent fans of this obscure Japanese franchise.”

“After more than two decades, we have received part of the history of Tsukihime with the remake Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-. From beginning to end, it's an engaging, interesting, sad, tragic, and very, very beautiful story.”

“Ahead of its predecessor, narrowly, The Quintessential Quintuplets – Five Memories Spent With You doesn't stumble in repetitive gameplay, but it lacks in the repeating scenarios and localization, which left entire scenes in Japanese in the final product.”

“Unfortunately, The Quintessential Quintuplets – Memories of a Quintessential Summer doesn't serve a single relevant purpose. It doesn't serve as an engaging visual novel, as an interesting add-on to the series, or even as a fun game to play.”

“More than fifteen years later, the Class of Heroes franchise shows resilience, even though, by re-releasing old games and not moving forward with new games, it also shows its age.”

“Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II keeps alive a franchise that has conquered a relevant space in its niche, innovating in some aspects and maintaining others that mark the identity of these games.”

“KONOSUBA – God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Love For These Clothes Of Desire! it's a game that doesn't have much reason to be, even for KONOSUBA fans. The tedious gameplay, low production value, and very poor localization mean that there is very little left for those who still want to give the game a chance.”

“A respectable metroidvania, Touhou Luna Nights brings gameplay, exploration, and combat in the guise of the Touhou universe to all fans of the genre.”

“With an all-new story, unorthodox gameplay, and originality to spare, GNOSIA is a masterpiece of the genre that deserves all the recognition.”

“There's a good game in Archetype Arcadia, but with its bloated playtime, its inconsistent art, and its unoriginal premise, what's left over shouldn't please most players.”

“With nostalgic DNA, the remaster of The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails should please longtime Falcom fans, but newer fans may not fit too well into the "loop" and constraints of the original release.”

“Despite not delivering what it promised and sounding like a step back after so many new experiences developed by Experience, Mon-Yu still manages to offer at least the essential experience and entertain familiar players with the genre.”

“A competent visual novel with an engaging story and unique artwork, ANONYMOUS; CODE delivers a solid experience, even though, at certain points, it brings well-known beats from other games in the SciADV series.”
