Black Dream Plus
Play as a voluptuous supernatural investigator named Anna who travels to an amusement park constructed inside the imagination of a friendly gentleman who makes churros, cosplay outfits, and dances for her, where she decides to retire from her job and takes over the park, making that gentleman her father, and a self-doubting coworker tasked with detaining her into her boyfriend, while dealing with the mess a cute, awkward, and equally busty nightmare-fueled girl causes all over the place.
You basically get that and a whole bunch of other things in Black Dream, an adorable, fascinating, and overall sexy and strangely wholesome game. The protagonist is very whimsical but self-assured, and the characters have distinct personalities revealed with an incredible amount of original handmade full-screen pixel art scenes. It feels like something you would discover on the PC-98, or a classic OVA made into an interactive anime adventure. It’s not a visual novel, but not quite a regular RPG. To say it’s a hidden object game is not descriptive enough either I feel. Basically, Black Dream is like a toybox for you to uncover a ton of cute and well-made novelties that combine into an adventure with a comical, quirky, and surprisingly sentimental story.

I absolutely love this game. The music is very well done, catchy and fits the mood. The art work is clearly done with verve and style. The story is fetching, amusing and takes a few interesting turns throughout. Combat is handled in several ways adding to variety. Anna, the main character is ultra cute, and dressing her up in the many different outfits is very rewarding as you see her in various and unique outfit-specific poses. Really fun game. I recommend 101%

D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die -Season One-
D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die is a true hidden gem. I consider it to be a masterpiece. It is among my favourite games, and one of the finest examples of the interactive movie subgenre. It’s also among the most immersive games, both overall and specifically due to how great it is with giving you a lot of different emotions. It’s sad, mysterious, weird, funny, and somewhat scary. It has a great balance of brightness and darkness, and not because it only plays on contrasts, but because it has bright, dark, and in-between moments, and they are placed appropriately, as well as equally good at what their purposes are. While some might claim the game is unfinished, it’s not exactly so, it’s more of a somewhat unfinished game, but worth it without a doubt. You can see it this way - even if a truly beautiful painting is unfinished to some degree, it still remains beautiful. Now let’s talk about the essential video game aspects.

8.5/10
My likes include 100% de Agave tequila. My dislikes are mainly drugs… And chewing gum.
Overview
D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die -Season one- is the first part of a planned episodic adventure games series developed by Access Games in the same vein as Telltale’s cinematic titles. D4 is a crazy story filled with wacky characters and ridiculous situations somehow fittingly wrapped into a serious, moody detective crime story.
Story
D4 follows the tale of David Young, middle-aged ex-cop and widower turned private detective in order to find D, a mysterious individual whose only known initial was Little Peggy’s (Young’s wife) dying breath.

Revolution 60
If you have synesthesia, get some sunglasses before you play this game, and play it with care. It’s been about two hours since I stopped playing it and I still feel dizzy, disoriented, and nauseous.
I really like this game, but the colors, the lighting, the bloom, the motion blur– all these things put together make me feel as though I’ve been playing the game while sitting inside of a spinning dryer.
EDIT: Just completed it on Girlfriend mode.
Where to start. The Internet really wants you to make things seem worse than they are, but I refuse. Revolution 60 is a game where all the pieces are in place (nearly): there’s music, sound effects, graphics (though the anatomy, esp. the characters' heads, prevents anyone from really taking the drama seriously), and a control scheme, a movement scheme, a battle system, but all the parts are so disparate that they do not work well at all together.

This game is a port of the original IOS release, and, generally-speaking, an improvement over the original game. The controls are more responsive and the framerate is extremely stable. Though the game has issues with certain GPUs according to some users, it is generally more functional and more competent than the original game, with a clear attempt made at addressing the laundry-list of technical problems the original game had. The framerate is fixed, the audio mixing woes are fixed, the synchronization errors are fixed, the model tearing is gone. The game looks smoother and moves better than ever before, and I’ll give Giant Spacekat Studio its props for getting this much done. New content was added, including new responses for Holiday, new animations, and new skins for all the characters. By all accounts, this is an outstanding achievement on Giant Spacekat’s part at fixing the game’s various outstanding issues, and it deserves respect for doing so.

99 Spirits
99 Spirits is a very charming Japanese indie game. It combines elements from a few genres including Visual Novels, Turn based battles, lite character progression elements and even monster collecting.
The first half of 99 Spirits consists of the Visual Novel cutscenes that progress the games story - developing the characters and allowing the plot to progress. There is no voice acting for these cutscenes but this didn’t bother me because characters only ever speak in short sentances so it makes it very easy to read. As the game progresses, the story and characters develop in some unexpected ways. The premise starts off fairly simple: the world is inhabited by demons called ‘Tsukumogami’ that possess everyday objects and attack humans. You play as a swordswomen called Hanabusa who is trying to destroy them. However, over the course of the game the story explores many different themes like love, family, loss, betrayal and more. I was very surprised at how dark the game becomes towards the final few chapters. Throughout the course of the game you will have a few choices that can even change the ending depending on these choices. It’s a good story overall and there are a lot of optional conversations and characters that add depth to the world and characters.

To start, I give this game a recommend with the basis it is for old-school RPG players who can handle a bit of repetitive grind to get to those lovely story pieces. If you dislike going through very similar battles multiple times to find out what happens in the story, then this probably isn’t for you. For me, however, I found the story worth the grind.
99 Spirits feels like a combination of an old-school console JRPG with quick-time combat and a strategic layer of monster catching to gain new and very important abilities. The combat is based on first guessing the enemy spirit’s name which is initially pretty tricky but this is solved by the acquisition of items you can buy/find in game (or you can use one of the awesome community guides). Combat is further modified by visiting a shrine and upgrading your weapon to speed up/simplify battles (almost to the point of removing the guessing game entirely - good yet weird since that’s a big part of the game’s uniqueness). One advantage 99 Spirits has over older JRPGs is that you can walk around enemies and skip most battles rather than be constantly stuck fighting random invisible encounters.

Shenmue III
Ah, Shenmue 3, how I have longed for the light of your presence to shine upon thee…
Heads up to those who peruse this review: I’m a HUGE shenmue fan. I backed this game on kickstarter and have played the game twice on Sony PlayStation 4.
Let’s forget all of the nonsense associated with Deep Silver and the Epic Game Store exclusivity. How is THE GAME?
A mixed bag.
Let’s start with the graphical presentation. Shenmue 1&2 were AAA games back in the day; the most expensive games every produced up until that time. Shenmue 3 is a AA game; as such you cannot go into this expecting the latest cutting edge graphics.

Before starting my review, I’d like to point out that we really need a mixed review option on Steam. I hope Gaben will hear our prayers one day. Anyway, as most of you know, Shenmue III is the highest funded Kickstarter game and it is definitely one of the longest awaited one. How long was it… 20 years? I’m not a loyal Shenmue fan, I didn’t wait 20 years for it, in fact, first time I’ve played Shenmue was a few months ago but I was aware of its significance and contributions to the video game culture of course. I also didn’t contributed anything to its Kickstarter campaign but putting myself in one of the loyal fans' place, I’d be extremely disappointed by this game. Especially after waiting nearly 20 years for it. Although I have no doubt that Yu Suzuki and YS Net did their best to bring a solid title to the fans, they’ve made a grave mistake by striking a deal with Deep Silver. 1 year Epic Store exclusivity was straight up disrespectful towards the people who contributed to Kickstarter campaign. Hopefully, they will learn from their mistakes with Shenmue IV. Anyway, let’s take a look at the redeeming qualities first…

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles
This is a great game but they really need to fix it, it’s probably the most irritating gutter I’ve played because there are SO MANY input bugs it’s unreal. The connection is terrible I have 3 disconnects and I’ve never disconnected only the game crashing. Secondly the input bugs cause from either the poor connection or just overall bad development. It’s just a bunch of ghost inputs could be not even touching my controller and it’ll start dashing around. Now see this sounds like a bad review for the game but honestly it’s a great game really fun when it’s not messing up BUT they really need to fix those two things.

Kate’s Test
Pros
-Engaging art
-Variety of different areas with their own feel and different gameplay mechanics
-Witty and humorous dialogue
Cons
-Less adult content than other titles by the developer and a patch is required, which is a pain
-Some of the areas are less fleshed-out than others
-Plot is fairly minimal
-No gallery
Conclusion
I enjoyed the game quite a bit. Bright and vibrant art as usual and a variety of different things to do. It is playable without the adult patch (and is a somewhat different experience). You do notice that some areas seem more developed than others. The Casino area in particular seemed a little lacking in comparison to the other zones. As an adult game, it has some issues (no gallery, need to install patch with weird process), but I enjoyed it overall.

Если вы русский, или лучше читайте по-русски, а затем по-английски, пожалуйста, просмотрите полный обзор. Я перевел его лучше, чем ниже.
The game is a little short but funny, both the censored and uncensored have some good moments in them. The over all look of the art isn’t bad, a little cartoony, but is consistent in quality at least for the hand drawn assets. The puzzles are only hard if you don’t take a second to actually look at them, over all the combat isn’t hard either you just need to think it through. The only real thing I can complain about is that the last “Test” isn’t very clear on where to go if you forget to talk to the person by the bonfires in the camp/village place after each dungeon but by simply finding to other dungeons you very quickly figure out if you are missing something to finish it or not, other then that pretty soild game.
