You're tearing me apart Lisa.

Rakuen can be a little heavy-handed at times with its melodrama and attempt at pulling your heartstrings but it really succeeds at the end. It features gorgeous environments and the feeling of exploration in the game is thrilling. The backstories for the side characters were well done and it was fantastic at examining a huge range of emotions like loneliness and guilt. The ending can be seen a mile away and it still hits you like a truck.
