If you watched a review and liked it, give it a try.
If you want to try something different, give it a try.
And even if the mechanics feel "weird" and don't quite match your tastes but somehow you're still very much into the game's themes, just give it a try.
There is nothing to be said other than what the positive reviews already stated.

THIS IS ABOUT THE VAMPIRE FICTION.
So... by the time I'm writting this review I must say I have only played about 4 or 5 hours and altough I still hope the game changes, it is much like gambling. Once in a while the game decides that would be nice for you to think you're in control of the story, but it does the absolute opposite as it forces you to pick the right line so you can move forward. You never have true control of things because once you pick the wrong line, you die. And I beg you pardon because it may be just me: You'll die a lot.The two times the game does it the most (at least in 4~5 hours of playtime) is when Marco appears as a challenge. You get to choose from a lot of stuff (which is good) but if you choose the wrong one, you die almost instantly (which is exhaustive and primarily bad). Sometimes when the game is not satisfied, it misleads you into thinking that the line you picked was indeed the right one and... Welp... There you are dead again.
Of course this is not entirely bad. The first hours were incredibly thrilling as you have to manage picking the right choices. But the story escalates reeeeeeeally quickly and at first you were (kind of) rewarded for being cautious while in the next minutes you have to make some real f***ing nastyass recklessly brutal f***ed up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy aggressive choices like insulting one of the strongest vampires in the scene which is like hundreds of years old and way above you in the food chain. And you think this may be an overreact but the girl who was embraced a few days before the "Marco incident" was already beating (or trying to) vamps up like a boss and acting all experienced-neonate-ish (this also happens with the main character with this thing of her/him having no remorse in killing people).
The fiction is good, the characters are well made, the music fits well and the paintings give a nice touch for you to get immersed but this pick-the-right-choice-or-you-die is just plain bad. I recommend it if you don't see a problem with it, but yeah, if you're some picky person about your visual novels and chosing your own destiny you might as well stay away from the game.

Edit: I saw that there are more people stuck in the same part as me due to this system of pick-the-right-choice-or-you-die. Changed the recommendation status to "no" and I think it'll stay that way.
