Very nearly a perfect turn based RPG except for the incest romance.

This is a charming, dense, and cohesive RPG to lives on the strength of its writing. It effortlessly slips in humorous character interactions in between intrigue and drama without ever missing a step. The game never feels like its wasting your time with the grind or asks you to sit through text wall exposition.

It likely won't make you cry or awe you with reveals but it will absolutely be a joy from start to finish. In no small part to having one of the best leads you can find in the genre.

We're here for you twintails, you're the star of the show.

[updated to include comments on controls]

For those out there that also enjoy using M/KB controls for all their games; it is also worth mentioning that this is the rare JP game that was actually made for it. You click and hold to move similar to how you would in an ARPG. The bulk of the useful AI elements are also right at the bottom of the screen for you to click when you need them quick.

While many other RPGs can be a bit of a headache (or outright impossible), this one is a breeze.

You can look around to find yuri VNs anywhere but when it comes to actual queer narratives with weight the selection gets far smaller.

This is the latter and it'll be sticking with me for a while. From the music, art, and these two women and their story together; all of it is worthwhile. A must own VN here on Steam.

Code Vein, simply put, is the purest Dark Souls clone Dark Souls clone and oh my is that a really good thing.

Code Vein manages to channel that energy so thoroughly because of exactly how much it replicated from the formula we know. There are plenty of other games that fall into this Soul-like category but few of them manage feel quite like it's inspiration in the ways that it matters. From the speed of your characters, the weight of your weapon swings and the general pace of combat; it nails it.

It's not just a clone either, especially when it comes to the leveling systems and story. Instead of the point by point stat sheets you might be familiar with Code Vein opts for a sort of "equip a kit" format that allows you plug in various classes that you collect and enhance along the way. The best part of this system is how flexible it is, letting you pick up and shift around a few elements to piece together a new set up to let you try out a weapon you just discovered.

If you're a fan of JRPG stories or this genre of game, give this a look. If you are a fan of both, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not picking this one up.
