So, this is a review of The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. How should I start? With the pros and cons? Talking about the graphics, the music, the narrative? Saying how much I liked this game? Because all of those I can do, I have done them in the past. But now, I feel something has changed in me. I changed and this game solidified that change in me.
There’s always an anxiety for playing a game the best way possible. Minmaxing everything, doing all the side quests to level up your character, doing all the achievements. If you are a gamer, you know what I’m talking about. And in visual novels there are also “good” gameplays and bad routes. And you always want to get the best route first and then you do other routes or watch them on Youtube.
Well, you sort of can do that in The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, but there’s no “good way” to play this game. Just follow your intuition, or you can battle against fate, try to cheat the system, hone your deck, gather a lot of energy, do a good and bad route. In the end, nothing matters. Fate is fate, you don’t have all in control, things will happen and the game will end.
But, and here’s what makes this game so good, but you can also learn from it. You can also let it change you, let it hurt you, let it make you anxious, let it make you annoyed, then, you will also let it make you feel joy, surprise, happiness, laugh and a warm feeling in your chest.
In the end, you can play it smart or let it teach you some wisdom.
