Combined with stiff, sub-par animation and pacing that leaps from moment to moment with a bald-faced desperation, this one winds up a total mess. It’s at once overstuffed and totally lacking in ideas, and has the gall to have its own protagonist complain about how much its world and story suck like it’s somebody else’s fault. It’s a little barebones mechanically but the questioning does tie in neatly with the monsters’ various personality types. If they’re timid, they’ll more likely respond to middle-of-the road answers, extroverts like to be right out there.
But again, it’s not like folks expected a revelation here. That’s why it’s frustrating for dating sim fans to see games like I Love You, Colonel Sanders! Heralded for its wackiness, the corporatization of a genre that means so much to queer creators and others. It’s a genre the industry as a whole often struggles to respect, and now it’s being used and manipulated to sell fried chicken. There’s so little substance in all of it that it hardly feels like a game or interactive experience at all.
Trapped in a Dating Sim is a funny story, a satire on dating sims , questioning some of its tropes or at least openly questioning their viability. The MC is not always likeable, and I think it would have worked better if he regained his memory at 14 instead of 5 . His constant grumbling about the role reversal of men and women would work better if he at least acknowledges more often that the roles are reversed from his previous life and contemplate how women would feel in Japan. Most of the other characters are great, having more depth then most in these kind of stories. His actions fit the comedy, but do make the MC look a bit stupid or at the very least unwilling to accept the truth and keeping himself blind on purpose. Still, it was an entertaining story, a first arc in a bigger overall one.
The game will launch on PS4 and Xbox One on April 4, with a subsequent launch on Switch scheduled for July 25. Combat is fun, primarily because of the spells you’re flinging out and the animations accompanying them. Enemies rarely impress with their nuanced assaults, and thus far, there’s too little variety to the types of enemies I’m encountering. But I enjoy blasting out fire and ice spells, learning enemy weaknesses, breaking color-coded shields with specific attacks, and simply feeling like I’m in the midst of an action-packed magic duel. The options are often limited or really obvious, except for one ‘boss fight’ where the ‘right’ combination that is needed for the best ending is borderline random.
Players can converse with characters and make decisions in chatrooms; giving certain responses to characters will strengthen your bond with them. The game’s sharp writing and real-time Here nature adds a heightened sense of realism that really packs an emotional punch. Arcade Spirits places you in an alternate timeline where arcade games are still thriving.

I read a lot of the WN and the arc covering the first game is great. The arcs covering the sequels made me ask why I was even reading it. The romance moves abruptly in this one, as spurned schoolgirl Saho attempts to reconcile her feelings for hot idol Kouta despite being burned by a handsome guy in the past. Filled with high-stakes thrills and supernatural battles, what makes High Card unique is how the powers are centered around the 52 X-Playing Cards. Stephan Paul’s translation largely carried what ended up being a surprisingly involved and unique underdog story involving two aspiring comedians.
The game’s goal is to give you the tools to create the perfect date. The developers clearly aim for this to be a definitive take on gaming in the Wizarding World. They’ve thrown a lot of options at the player, from broom-riding to spider-fighting to classes with eccentric and prickly professors. Even after more than a dozen hours, I still feel like tutorial elements pop up quite regularly. What could you really expect from a fast food advertisement in the form of a visual novel? For what it is, you’ll get about an hour of humorous — but not hilarious — story to experience.
That ongoing conversation includes some who have called for a boycott of the product. Like all of our critiques, Game Informer’s review of Hogwarts Legacy will evaluate the game itself rather than any surrounding concerns or debates, which will not factor into our score. However, in this case, our review will also include a separate note to alert potential buyers to the broader conversation around the game so that each reader can make an informed buying decision.
For a game with a concept that involves dating Colonel Sanders it’s incredibly boring and not really as funny as you would think it would be. It doesn’t feel like a funny dating simulator it feels like a lazy KFC advertisement pandering towards weebs. The biggest weakness for this show is it just doesn’t feel like its creators knew all that much about otome games. This show, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to know much about the genre besides there being a female PC and a lot of hot dudes for her to sweet talk. We haven’t seen more than an animated trailer and a few screenshots, but it looks like the game follows a pretty standard formula for anime dating sims.
There are times reading the novel, you’ll find the story really frustrating. Leon not only got thrown off with the love interests and main girl, he was also in deep shit with the country’s politics. The main lead/Leon was reincarnated in the otome game he was playing for his sister. In the otome game world, the males are treated badly, even slaves are treated better than them.
