After a few hours, I was done listening to Mae. The game is competently put together. I bought it because the art intrigued me and i usually enjoy visual novels/ adventure games like this. It's a short glimpse into the life of a flailing 20yo. Your enjoyment depends on how well you can connect to the main character since there isn't much in the way of gameplay. Honestly if you don't like Mae or any of her friends once you've met them all, this might not be a game for you either.
Cat Quest 2 is a simple hack and slash adventure. You will spend hours rolling from place to place collecting items and defeating enemies. There's a story here but i ended up ignorimg most of it due to how many puns are in the dialog. I had a lot of fun speedingthru the missions but i feel that it would have been more fun playing this in co-op.
Honestly just giving it 5 stars for the music, battles and character interactions. The story is alright, but i always enjoyed meeting the new characters and finding lore in new places. The battle system is interesting and I want to see the battle orbment system expand. I wanted to keep playing as a bracer going to new places, meeting new people, hearing new music, and solving puzzles.
I had a lot of fun when I first booted up this port of an overlooked 3ds game. The intro sequence, music and animation had me feeling nostalgic. However after the first section finished up my attention dried up also. AA is a boring game on pc. The music is forgettable. The artwork isn't attractive. The story is too predictable. None of the characters are interesting. All you do throughout is grind and watch cut scenes. You don't get to grow the characters. They automatically gain skills and stats. You do get to unlock abilities, but you get so few points because they want you to play more than once. With the story and character progression completely on rails any more time with the game would be torture. I'm going back to my backlog.
This is a broken buggy mess. I've made it so far to planting the kynseed, but it was becoming too difficult to progress. I can overlook music and graphics bugs, but when the clock, item names and character names all disappeared, that was the last straw.
Immediately fell in love with this game. The music, characters and world are all incredibly charming. I stopped playing it for a few months and still love this game. The combat system isn't the best and sometimes it's hard to time the presses but I can mostly overlook it, outside of a few very difficult fights. Also you can avoid most fights by simple walking around enemies. It's a fun adventure game even if the battles aren't that great.
The musical and artistic choices come together beautifully. I wish I could just watch shorts with the art and music. The puzzles are simple and don't hold up the story at all but the story feels disjointed still. Each story piece is seperated by a set of puzzles that then throw you back to the main character trying to stop a single instance. I found myself guessing at the puzzles. I became so disinterested in them and wanted to see more of the back story. I got about halfway through them all before I completely lost interest. It really is a beautiful game but the game portion feels drawn out and tedious.
Like a lot of other reviews have pointed out this much like a certain video game series. However where that was a jrpg that allowed you to go in with a fully crafted load out, OSFE starts you off with a few basic cards attempting to complete what could be considered that series post game. The battles are fast and statuses/ card types are very important. As much as I wished for a mode less hectic or more forgiving I still had a lot of fun. Just found out there's difficulty sliders reading a review, but my pride won't let me use them.
