A legendary Famitsu perfect score game, and still the only AVG/Visual Novel on the list in the past 20 years, 428 is top of the genre, and one of my favorite games across all genres since I first played it on PSP. I kept my PSP around just so that I can revisit it every now and then.

With a compelling plot, intriguing characters, meaningful and easily navigable gameplay, great atmosphere setup, wonderful arts (stills taken from live action), amazing music, and smart humor, 428 is a game and a story everyone can relate to and enjoy. There's no fancy sci-fi fantasy like time traveling or telepathy, no hunger game level killing each other, no gore, no voice acting, but this game brought me the most anticipation, most excitement, and most emotions.

I doubt there will be many other games I enjoy and love as much and I wish more people get to experience this wonderful journey. I can't recommend it enough.
