Most enjoyably pointless game I have ever played: if you dream of snuggling digital hedgehogs, or need a refuge from competitive gaming, this pet parade provides the bare necessities of social life.

A well-spun sailing yarn with mediocre combat mechanics in consort. Few pirate games have this much lore and world-crafting behind them, and I recommend it for that alone.

A gritty neo-noire detective story written in memory of pulp-fiction of the future.

A beautiful game with a grim and brutal message that war is not as glorious as we like to pretend, and not all games need to be enjoyable to be compelling.

This is more like a pleasure cruise in the Caribbean with calming ambience and mindless minigames to pacify you. Attempting to use strategy across these Seven Seas becomes little more than a slog.

A beautiful and faithful love letter to the history of the Shinsengumi, with a few brief but rather awkward moments of romance strewn throughout otherwise masterfully written, character-driven story.

For returning veterans of the franchise, I offer a comparison and discussion of the old, new, and excluded content of this most recent edition of Hakuouki as a whole.

A dark and graphically muddy horror sim that fails to frighten or engage in any way

A beautiful but wordy treatise on the progress of humanity...I think. Not sure. But beautiful.... Worth wading through if only for the visuals and mesmerizing soundtrack.

One of the most painfully boring games I have experienced. A virtual tour of the British Museum would be a far better use of your time--and far more entertaining.
