Fuck Henri, fuck the gruesome descriptions of dead people this game wants me to endure to deal with his route. This game's hatred of women is on par with some BL media.

This game's story was not for me but that doesn't take away from every detail being masterfully crafted. There's always something new to see and the experience of gaming plays out like you're watching a movie. Character designs are fun and poppy as well as a crowd-pleasing spin on mythological figures we all know we'll (but with enough obscure deities to feel like a new experience) and the voice acting in this game is phenomenal. Also Megaera/Zagreus/Thanatos for life.
My villain origin story is everyone acting like this is a bad game after Engage released with like three maps that "stimulate the brain" or whatever.

Surprisingly quite a bit shorter than other LucyDream games — there's only like fifteen episodes total. I enjoyed it, but it follows the basic LucyDream formula and doesn't offer much else in terms of story, music, or romance. The designs are cute and the MC has this messy tracksuit vibe that I really like.

Unironically better than the first game, I don't give a fuck. Goro also doesn't exist in this game which adds to my good opinion of it.
Haru has more narrative focus here than in Persona 5. There you go.

The OST and visual design hard-carry this game.
How should I put this? It's a gacha game masquerading as a rhythm game but it is a very good rhythm game. The songs are good, the gameplay is good, everything is customizable to the level that's best for you. But I can't shake the annoyance that comes with this game being a card collector game in actuality and not even a particularly nice or kind one at that. Gacha is known for being cruel but Ensemble Stars deserves its reputation as being one of the most cruel ones in existence right now.
Story is alright. The characters are likable and there's someone for everyone. The actual plot has some "what the hell is going on" moments that are entertaining but if you've seen any media about the struggles of being an idol and wanting to change the industry, you won't be surprised by anything in Ensemble Stars.

Honestly, Danganronpa is a series that does a lot of fucked up shit for shock value. And i thought DR:AE would be the worst of it but this game actually pissed me off so bad that I didn't touch another game for a month after playing it. The last chapter genuinely ruins everything the game sets up and feels more like a mockery of the fanbase than the cheeky commentary they were going for.
Please play Death Mark.
i absolutely adore this game, love the music, love the themes, love the routes, but i will never ever replay this because the thought of enduring the stat raising system again makes my head spin

this has no business being this good while being free and a game jam submission

This game is absolute garbage which just makes the fact that it has one of the best game soundtracks I've ever heard even more infuriating.
