So, for those who haven’t heard, I’m now posting my visual novel reviews on Fuwanovel, starting with a short review of a short game, Cover Me in Leaves. This post is so my normal readers know when I post something there. Click here to read the review. Anyway, I planned to announce that I’d be …
NieR Replicant ver.1.2247448713… (PS4/XONE/PC): Absolutely Breathtaking (Detailed Review)
So, it’s been almost six years since I wrote my review of the original English release of NieR Gestalt, released as just NieR on the PS3 and XBox 360 in 2010. Given the lavish praise I heaped upon the original game’s story and upon Automata as a whole, the only question is why I didn’t …
Standard Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (PS3/360/Wii/PC/Ios/Android/OUYA)
I have always had a history with the Sonic the Hedgehog series. I grew up with both of the Sonic Adventure titles and I formed a connection with both of them early on. I also was nostalgic for the Genesis games seeing as how I played them through Sonic Mega Collection. I did enjoy games …
Standard Review: Actual Sunlight (PC/Vita/Switch)
CW: Depression, suicide. Just a quick warning to give to anyone thinking of playing this; this game is absurdly bleak. When I say this, I don’t even mean bleak as in it will make you cry or anything; I’m talking that this game can completely shatter your sense of hope. If you suffer from depression …

Parasite Eve (PS1): Engrossing, but Frustrating (Detailed Review)
One aspect I will never understand of JRPG fandom is the intense hatred towards Square Enix lately. Well I suppose it is a given that there will be something stupid that comes out of any large enough fan base but still. The thought process of the player base of Squaresoft games is that supposedly “Squaresoft …

Standard Review: Clothing & Alterations (PC) (NSFW)
CW: Discussion of kinks and fetishes. Consider pledging to my fanbox if you want to see more reviews of NSFW games like this. Of the many statements I’ve made in my writing career, if I was told I had to choose one specific hill to die on, I’d probably choose the statement that queer people …

DeadΩAegis (PC): Where No One Can Hear You Cry (Detailed Review) (NSFL)
CW: Rape, torture, death, sexual slavery, misogyny, racism, emotional abuse, gaslighting, grooming, brain washing, and dehumanization. I can not even begin to list every potential trigger in this game. If you have no triggers, you will after reading DeadΩAegis.

Quick Review: Digital Seclusion (PC)
CW: Discussion of agoraphobia, depression, and suicide. I think it’s safe to assume that some of us, myself included, view games as more than just entertainment. The gaming medium has a near and dear place in my heart, and many of the games I’ve played have shaped who I am as a person. While I’ve …
