London Detective Mysteria (PS Vita) Review
London Detective Mysteria is a Vita rerelease/upgrade of a Japanese Otome visual novel from 2013. This cleanly-translated novel offers a story that doesn’t have to revolve around romantic relationships and makes you feel part of the story. A welcome fast forward and rewind makes you feel as if seeing all the options won’t be a hassle.
Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms Review
Hakuoki: Edition Blossoms is the second of the Hakuoki tale for PS Vita and Steam. It continues the tale of Chizuru as her quest to find her father leads her into relationship with several potential samurai “husbandos.” This visual novel is low on interaction but shares a compelling story.
The Longest Five Minutes Review
The Longest Five Minutes is an RPG for those who may long for classic RPG styles but simply don't have the time to invest. As your protagonist faces down the final boss of his quest, he suffers from amnesia. Afraid and unknowing of how or why he got here, he relies on his friends and key points in the battle to jog his memories so he can regain his power, stop the evil, and save the world.
Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle Review
The Touhou project has been around for over twenty years, primarily as a "bullet hell" shooter. Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle attempts to take that bullet-hell mentality and cram it into a 3d versus brawler. Unfortunately, it is lacking a little polish that would make the game fun for all.
Farming Simulator 18 Review
Farming Simulator returns with yet another authentic depiction of life on the farm. In this release, Farming Simulator is on mobile, with phone, 3DS, and Vita entries. This year, improved graphics and more crops and animals flesh out the experience, and taking it on the road allows you to keep an eye on your crops without hogging the living room TV.
