Horizon Zero Dawn is a fun game, that definitely has its flaws. The world is very big however the story itself is quite short, though I did enjoy finding out the background of the story. For example, in my new game+ ultra hard run it took me 4h20min to complete just the story itself, even if I had vastly better gear there isn't much meat on the bone here. Combat was nice though I did wish for more machines since just the deathbringer was quite lackluster for the final part. Overall I do recommend this game since it's quite fun, I even 100%'ed it, but know that the bulk of your time will be spent on the side quests, collectibles, and achievements.

Senren Banka is a great yuzusoft vn, I enjoyed my time with the girls some more than others ofc. Obligatory preference insert here, Yoshino>Murasame>Mako>Lena>Roka>Koharu. I wish the routes for the side heroines were longer and more fleshed out, since their routes were somewhat shared which I found a bit of a letdown. I enjoyed the main plot with the moments involving the cursed spirit and their background being very engaging. Honestly I wished the moments were longer involving them since they are such a loveable character. I did have a minor complaint about a certain route having the conflict finished a bit early but I digress, I loved reading this vn and I wholeheartedly recommend you read it.

Seven days was an amazing read, truly a game which makes you appreciate life itself. I love all the girls they are all endearing and they all shone so bright. I highly recommend you read it yourself and appreciate the girls for yourself.

Amazing grace was a splendid game that kept me hooked throughout my time with it. I enjoyed the moments where we learned about art and ended up looking up the pieces myself as I played, granted if you aren't interested in art then those moments will be less enjoyable. The heroines were cute and endearing with my ranking being Yune>Sakuya>Konoha>Kirie, also I liked how the romance wasn't the main focus of the story. The story itself was great with the mystery and struggle keeping me interested until the very end, which I honestly felt dragged a bit in some parts, but overall it was very enjoyable and I highly recommend you try this game.

I love this game, so much cuteness my heart is full to bursting with fuwa fuwa vibes. Sabbat the Witch was an enjoyable read with a great cast of girls. My Favorite girls, Nene>Meguru>Tsumugi>Touko>Wakana, honestly all the girls were charming in their own ways, though Wakana suffers from side heroine syndrome, while Touko I felt she would've benefited from more presence in the common route. Anyways the overall story is quite nice and quite motivational with huge payoff in the Nene route, which I really recommend you leave for last, she is an adorable cinnamon roll, Wholeheartedly I recommend you give this game a shot.

Alice Escaped is a nice short game, that was a joy to play through with the cute art for the characters charming me throughout my time. The story itself isn't that deep and the main difficulty is if you do the achievement for hardcore cheshire cat without guard master, and no cheshire isn't hard the real menace is alice it took me 6 or 7 hours to finally beat alice and her unreasonable third phase where she pulls out a gun with aim bot, yes really. Anyways overall this game was really fun and beating the bosses was rewarding if you played on the hard difficulty without guard master.

I have reached it, the end for now. The afterstory episode was a nice concluding treat for the series, sad about Yoichi but it's inevitable since we couldn't see eye to eye. Renya was best boi hands down loyal to yoichi in every route. Man the afterstories themselves were a joy to read and I appreciate how it tied up most of the loose threads that remained, and the ending was really nice I was sad it had to end, but everything must come to a close eventually. Overall if you finished everything else there is no reason to not go all the way now, read it and watch the aftermath of this incredible ride we have been on.

Finally finished this one, man it was a great ride, granted there is still the after stories. Anyway the long conflict has been resolved, for the most part the ending implied something more but i'm assuming it gets resolved in the after stories. This game was very hype, fitting for the concluding episode it gave a good payoff to us who have stayed with this series until here. Now for the heroines final ranking for me Haruka>Yuuki>Sora>Kujo, Haruka and Yuuki are basically tied tbh but I favor Haruka more Kujo was honestly lacking as a heroine doesn't help that episode one really was mostly focused on establishing the setting and conflict for the overall story, Sora was good but suffered from the relationship not being properly established since sure they slept together but Niimi is conflicted throughout her route about the way Sora feels towards him and they never officially state they are dating. Ahem, anyways this episode was great so if you completed the other ones don't hesitate to continue with this last one and the after stories.

Another episode finished for me, and man what an episode it was. From the 1st episode to here the quality of the episodes has gone up immensely, and i'm full of expectations for the last game, not counting the after stories ofc. Anyway, This episode had my most favorite heroine so far out of them all. Kujo, well let's be honest she isn't really that interesting a character, and while I do like sora's dynamic with our mc she pales in comparison to the relationship the mc has with haruka. Another plus is how the plot focused this episode is not to say haruka doesn't get any development but man the story had me hooked during the fight. However, I will say I did feel that the ending development felt a bit weirdly placed, not that it was bad but more like I felt it should've happened earlier since this happened after the big fight, it ended up feeling a bit unusual. Overall, I highly recommend this fantastic episode you will not be disappointed in it.

Little Noah is a nice short game, well unless you're doing all the achievements but that is for later on. First of all the game itself is cute, with a traditional roguelike progression with you buying upgrades, aka repairing the airship. The bosses themselves were enjoyable to fight, though I will say ice is just overpowered and fire felt underwhelming in comparison. Now for the achievements, I will say I avoided the real unreasonable grind due to some kind people sharing their save files just before they got everything. I am wholeheartedly thankful for their help because man, the ultimate explorer is just a painful grind that i'm pretty sure everyone who got it can agree is really just not fun. Overall I do recommend the game, but if you want the achievements just do yourself a favor and get the save files to not grind. You can find the save file that I received in the discussion board.
