Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure brings a point and click adventure with a questionable humour, that may attract a certain kind of player, but still fails to impress or inovate the genre.

Salt & Sanctuary comes to the PlayStation Vita. Maybe not quite intact in comparison to the PlayStation 4 version, but it still manages to be fun for those looking for an experience that was still unseen for the portable.

Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~ brings an overdone premise with a reasonable romance. Despite its lack of innovation, it's still a pleasant experience for fans of the genre that have been waiting for more until now.

Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is an expanded release of the first half of a game that's already available on several platforms. With an unorthodox approach, it continues to be a great game, even if it loses the focus of its target audience.

Nurse Love Addiction is a harmless game, with fun characters and a very light plot. Recommended for those that want to get distracted with a story that albeit a little generic, doesn't fail to make the player smile.

With an uninspired story, leaning on several cliches,relying on just a few aspects to stand out like the soundtrack and the art, The Caligula Effect is a game that's just worth checking out after the other, more interesting releases of the year.

Sep 4, 2017

Tokyo Xanadu proves that Falcom can do no wrong, but at the same time, it proves that your strength is in celebrating what they've built through all these years and not in getting inspiration from other games.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony literally stood by its name and kills any harmony that may exist at the beginning of the game. With a sorta new chapter for the series, prepare yourself to question everything and everyone up until the credits end, in what promises to be the biggest killing game of the franchise.

Nov 18, 2017

Chaos;Child brings an amazing story to the world of SciADV titles, approaching a genre yet unseen by western players in this series. Despite having localization and a few structure issues, Chaos;Child is possibly the best visual novel released for console in the last few years.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows rides the wave from a horror standout from last year, but it fails to bring something new to the table and exaggerates in what made the first game so special.

With a generic premise and presentation, but inspired gameplay and exploration, Rabi-Ribi marks an interesting addition to the metroidvania genre on PlayStation consoles.

Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms is the second half of one of the most known stories of the genre. Despite being a quality title, it is a tough recommendation in a time of more interesting releases.
