The good and the bad
Welp its been a week guess its about time for an update...
Okay I'm finally done with that trek. Going start off with the nice entry cause I'm tired from writing my negative review of the second one.
THIS WAS RLLY CUUUUUTEEEEE
Honestly that was soooooo nice yuri bestu asfk.
I'm not sure what to say to be honest.
I played through most of it in one sitting and kept screenshoting lines and sending it to a friend saying "look look how cute this is" so I think that pretty much sums up my feelings with this VN.
Although trying to explain the story I realized how cliche a whole bunch of it was, while reading I never noticed.
Honestly I'm not sure if its for everyone considering how slow paced it was and I mean sure you can patch it but there isn't really much in the way of lewd content or anything.
The second one was trashu. what heck
Blue's score 
Okay but in all honestly this was a 2hu with with a custom rule where I had to complete 25% of the achievements and write a review, and while the game looked good at the start I quickly grew to realized just how much of a mess it was.
I already ranted a bit there but TL;DR the game is buggy...really buggy.
And 5 hours in I finally had had enough
And while I love the genre and I can tell a bunch of work has been put into it (its no asset flip/achivement-card farm game) its still not something I could recommend.
I really loved your scoring system :)
I despise buggy games. Did the developer say anything about at least trying to fix them?
Ikr I’ve been adding a arbitrary? score to all my posts and I’m not sure what its out of tbh.
I haven’t given anything above a 3 yet but I don’t want to say its a score out of three considering the amount of stuff I’ve given 3 marks on…ah well thinking about it too much will just confuse me it doesn’t have to be out of anything.
also developer is Chinese and I don’t think its going be fixed really
Edit: so I don’t look racist I mean I can’t ask him
I’m sorry to hear that :( I hate it so much when developers aren’t bothered to fix their games!
Yay! First challenge down and first one liked! throws around confetti
Sorry to hear about the other one though :/
Hope you’ll enjoy your next game!
Happy challenge/abc? killing :)
I kept switching from the second game to my ABC entry DMC beacause I was getting annoied by floaty controls and then I would turn to DMC and have nice tight controls with fun gameplay.
so I’m already halfway through that.
probably going start/ finish the walking dead next cause you challenging me is probably the thing that will push me into getting around to finishing it :3<
and switching to DMC when I get too messed up cause of it. asfk I find it hard to play cause of how into it I am idk
Well if your too much into DMC right now, then just go on with it! It’s supposed to be about fun, right? Clem is luckily not running away. Though she will be pretty impatiently waiting for you ;)
honestly I started the walking dead nearly a year ago and keep taking a break after I finish an episode.
and then someone tells me to finish and I play another episode
the amount of protective feelings you get for clem asfk
Wow! I normally have to like rush through the TT games, that’s why I prefer to wait until all the chapters are out. The only TT I had to kinda force myself to play on was the GoT one! O.O
But you can do it, I know it! cheers lightning on
Nice, I’m glad you liked Highway Blossoms! I’m still early on in the game (I’m trying to beat Trails in the Sky SC and it’s looooong) but I like it already. I have a feeling it’ll end up on my VN masterlist. If it does, can I link your review?
go right ahead >_<
the only thing is I didn’t really write a review I just gave how it made me feel so idk.
Not sure how it compares to the people who actually write good/well thought out reviews :3<
At their core, that’s all reviews are. I think having a different spread of viewpoints, ‘well thought out’ or not, can help people decide if they want to try a game. Emotions and feelings r rad, and that’s what good narratives want to evoke in people, right? That’s usually more important than, like, ‘the art style is cute, but at different sizes the sprites can become somewhat pixellated’ (which is something I noticed and is a comparatively minor detail)
Yay - I loved Highway Blossoms! Sometimes it’s a little slow paced, but it’s a beautiful story.
And the writing is just -superb-. It’s so witty, with memorable lines like “she attacked her food like it owed her money” xD.
YES
and the chocolate milk scene was sooooooo cute like asfk
“Chocolate milk? seriously are you 8?”
“Black coffee what are you 40?”
something something I’m butchering this horribly and should feel ashamed but I can’t remember the exact words no bully
“Hey now I like the taste of coffee itself”
“And I like the taste of milk itself…just with chocolate”
“You’re a dork”
“But you lovveeee me”
She chimes back in a singsong voice and I know what she means but a lump forms in my throat at how close to home she just hit
kyaaaa
<insert bullying>
:3<
Argh, sorry to hear Evil Genome wasn’t really good. I was hoping to win that exact giveaway, but now I am kind of happy that I didn’t win.
archi was ranting even more than me I think.
something about no way he’s playing anymore custom rule or not.
His review is better written idk.
oh oh, but he hasn’t reached 25% of the achievements ;)
“you shouldn’t be allowed custom rules with a game you got keys from the developer for…2hu kicku if this can’t be sorted out :3< etc”
Glad you liked Highway Blossoms since it’s on my wishlist. Cliche is okay with me as long as the characters and writing is good :)
The characters really made it and while a bunch of stuff like the “racing to catch up before someone leaves then catch them just as they are getting in a taxi to speed away and then hug them and say don’t go” seems really cliche looking back on it.
I guess its a sign of good writing if I didn’t notice/care while I was reading it tho
