If I had a nickel for every retro throwback 3D platformer that was based around time travel, 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 thought, it’s not like I did …
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? …
Steam Greenlight Landfill: Sakura Beach (PC)
Yeah, this is another Fuwanovel review. Err well, they consider it more of a rant because I hate this game so much I can’t write about it without a string of profanity. This is one of the worst visual novels I’ve ever read. Like, bottom five material. https://fuwanovel.net/2023/08/analysis-sakura-beach-ending-summer-with-a-rant/ I’m hoping to return to more regular …

Karryn’s Prison (PC): Sexual & Frustrating (Detailed Review) (NSFW)
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. Despite the fact that I covered Meltys Quest on a whim, basically just because I asked its …

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: …
Standard Review: Saint Maker (PC/Switch)
Another Fuwanovel review is out, this one for horror visual novel Saint Maker. https://fuwanovel.net/2023/04/saint-maker-review/ I was really impressed by this one, and definitely hope to cover some of Yanyang Mobile’s other titles in the future. Anyway, next review will be Neptunia: Sister’s Vs Sisters, which I just recently completed. – If you would like to …

Standard Review: UnderParty (PC) (NSFW)
CW: Discussion and mentions of fetishism of pain, violence, gore, amputation and death. Welp, I was not kept away from weird fetish games for long. UnderParty is certainly an interesting game, at the very least. UnderParty was released on Steam in English in 2020, but I know that its Japanese release was earlier because it …

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 …

Quick Review: Dimension Tripper Neptune TOP NEP (PC)
Dimension Tripper Neptune TOP NEP is the second shmup spinoff in the Neptunia series, the first being 2019’s Neptunia Shooter. I didn’t like that game, and I’m not sure I have strong feelings about this one either. I CAN say that Dimension Tripper Neptune is an improvement though, and that much is evident in the …
