PLAY THIS! ✔️ I'm not sure what genre AITSF really falls into (maybe more point and click adventure). By no means is this game perfect, but it is perfect to me. Been in the AITSF hype trenches since the Tesa YouTube ARG days.
PLAY THIS! ✔️ Higanbana is one of the Ryukishi greats that unfortunately gets overlooked quite often because it isn't easily accessible. I would highly recommend seeking it out and playing it. I think he shines in the short story format.

PLAY THIS! ✔️ The greatest Infinity game. Anyone who disagrees just didn't get it. Do not let anything stop you from playing this game and letting it consume your every thought like it did for me.
Play Remember11 Gestalt Edition if you're trying this out!

PLAY THIS! ✔️ EASILY one of the greatest vns of all time. A nonstop incredible story that will leave you breathless and sobbing also.
You will need to play Utawarerumono Mask of Deception in order for this game to be great, and Utawarerumono/Utawarerumono Prelude to the Fallen for this game to be kino. They are both great, please play the whole trilogy.

MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️ If you don't like men having sex with other men this is not for you. NO, THANK YOU!!! has a plot that is surprisingly gripping and really entertaining? I really like parade's plots. The R18 scenes are nicely drawn too (though a lot of dubcon, not really my thing).
Not sure if the Steam release is censored, so just buy from Mangagamer directly if you're trying this.

MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️ Contains men fuckin other men. You have been warned. Sweet Pool feels gross and disgusting and I really, really love that about it. Just read the game description and determine if you wanna play something like that.
My extended thoughts on it are here: https://lonesgamethoughts.blogspot.com/2022/03/sweet-pool-review-saya-no-uta-but-for.html

PLAY THIS! ✔️ I think this collection of the two Another Code games is good, but also loses a lot of the soul by getting rid of a lot of the gimmicks (closing the DS to solve a puzzle, connecting a nun-chuk to solve a puzzle, etc).
I would honestly recommend playing both of the original games (on original hardware if you can) and then this, they are fairly short.

DON'T RECOMMEND❌If you're someone who's played Uchikoshi's modern works (999 and after), you may be tempted to try this game out. It is honestly very boring for 80% of its runtime and I don't recommend it unless you want to see how Uchikoshi grew as a writer rather than be enthralled by a great story.
Play Ever17 Himmel Edition if you're trying this!

DON'T RECOMMEND❌The art is the only saving grace for LOOPERS. The story is quite short and very, very, very predictable, which is a shame because I think if the concept was stretched out (with typical Ryukishi pacing), it might be a classic.
The voice acting is extremely grating also.

MAYBE PLAY THIS ⚠️ If you like really, REALLY out there and nearly impossible to follow plots, you may like I/O. You'll probably never play anything else like this.
I think about going back to this game for a replay once every few months before stopping myself.

DON'T RECOMMEND❌this game sucks ass
if i paid for this shit on the 3ds in 2015 or whenever it came out i would have been so pissed. this is absolutely not a standalone title and as someone who played it as a standalone title years later before the official english release i really did not like it. but in the two-pack of tgaa it's alright!
ZTD is not a fantastic game, and it isn't great to look at, and honestly I really don't care for the plot, I don't uhhhhh care for most of this game but it's really great to laugh at :)
12Riven is a very strange game, that's all I can say.
