It took a while for this one to get posted, but it’s finally up. Consider pledging to my fanbox if you want to see more reviews of NSFW games like this. https://fuwanovel.net/2023/11/review-the-shell-part-i-inferno-girl-in-a-shiny-new-shell/ I currently have one other review for Fuwanovel in progress, that being Taimanin Asagi.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake (PC/PS4/PS5/Switch/XONE/XSX): Battle for Bikini Bargain Bin (Detailed Review)
If I had a nickel for every retro throwback 3D platformer that was based around time travel, that made my most anticipated games of 2023 list, and ended up mediocre and disappointing, I’d have two nickels. I don’t know why someone would give me two nickles for two games existing though, it’s not like I …
Clive ‘N’ Wrench (PC/PS4/PS5/Switch): Bargain Bin Banjo-Kazooie (Detailed Review)
So, I like 3D collectathon platformers a lot, and this was number nine on my most anticipated games of 2023 list. It did not live up to the hype. Reading some parts of that piece are especially painful after having played through this game all the way. “It DOES look like it nails everything there …
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (PS1/DS/PC/Switch): A Little Sad, but Sweet Just the Same (Detailed Review)
Now, this is a game I’ve been meaning to review for quite some time. Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a game that is very close to my heart, and it feels weird that the sequels have just gotten an official localization. Who would have thought Rhapsody 2 and 3 would get theirs before MOTHER 3? …
Karryn’s Prison (PC): Sexual & Frustrating (Detailed Review) (NSFW)
Consider pledging to my fanbox if you want to see more reviews of NSFW games like this. One who has followed Guardian Acorn for a long time may remember my review of Meltys Quest. I reviewed this back in January of 2018, meaning that it has been over half a decade since I covered it. …

Neptunia: Sisters Vs Sisters (PS4/PS5/PC): Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back (Detailed Review)
Recently, I’ve decided to try something new with my reviews, a little thing called “playing and reviewing games within the year they are released.” Of course, I can’t review every game I’m interested in within a specific year, so I decided I’d focus on my picks for most anticipated games of 2023. And yes, Neptunia: …
Omori (PC/PS4/Switch/XONE/XSX): Absolute Emotional Horror (Detailed Review)
Currently, I have sixteen games that I plan to write reviews for. Generally, I review games in the order that I play them, because specific memories start to fade over time, which makes it harder to provide a through critique. Omori is number 11 on this list, but I’m choosing to write this review before …

Gore Screaming Show (PC): Uncomfortable, Yet Beautifully Horrifying (Detailed Review) (NSFL)
New review up on Fuwanovel, this time for Gore Screaming Show. Consider pledging to my fanbox if you want to see more reviews of NSFW games like this. https://fuwanovel.net/2023/01/gore-screaming-show-review/ This one impressed me. I think I can safely say that Ueda Metawo is one of my favorite people in the industry, and anything involving Metawo …
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 …
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 …
