她2 : 我还想再见到你 Her2 : I Want To See You Again
Just a short backgrounds story: I am a huge fan of Princess Maker series and I can spend hours in raising sims in general. To be honest, I cannot quite explain why I have not tried Her2 earlier as I received a copy of this game for reviewing months ago. Yesterday, finally, I got down to playing it, and I should say I was not disappointed. Well, except for the translation part, of course, but I will talk about in in great details in the main part of the review.
I usually begin my reviews describing the plot, but this time I will skip this part mostly because the story is quite short and it would be more interesting for you to read it on your own. So instead, I will introduce you to the bad parts first as they can be a major disadvantage for some people and then move on to what I liked about Her2.

Copycat
Copycat is a heartfelt experience that’s perfect to cuddle up with on a rainy afternoon or get lost in during a long train ride.
The story follows Dawn, a pampered indoor cat, that becomes the target of an elaborate plan when a jealous stray look-alike steals her place in the home. See the world through Dawn’s eyes as she faces magpies, mud, and garden gnomes. Wander alleyways, fences and rooftops, looking for the warmth of human connection in a cold, dark world.
The reflective pacing of the game allows you the opportunity to indulge in the emotions of love, loneliness and letting go as you progress through the story.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel
Finally after a long road this game saw the light of day and I was more than eager to put hands on it.
Despite the number of hours clocked in I have not finished it as I actually been redoing the game a few times to measure replayability as well as how better/worse I could do, but from what I experienced so far, I’m holding my vote positive.
It is however not a game without its flaws, if things that can be fixed to an extend, so lets break it down.
The definitely good:
- Graphics/Artstyle
I am utterly in love with the detailed artwork pieces that are shown all over the game, and I feel that everything else helps build up a style that’s very uniform across the board and that’s even including the 3D models used for the characters during intermission/exploration. There’s certainly artistic liberty in some departments namely the mechanical designs, but I was already expecting some of the silliness coming in and I was not looking for much else here, so there’s definitely plenty of value.

Right. Where to begin with this one. Be warned, this is less an objective review and more a personal retrospective, and there will be prologue spoilers. I don’t usually “review” games and am only giving this one attention as I feel it has the makings of a sleeper hit that hardcore fans will be trying to convince people to play. Like its predecessors, it hit shelves with absolutely no fanfare. Just seeing how few reviews games like this one gets shows how criminally underrated these hidden gems are.

Her 她
Her is a visual novel where you have to increase your stats and relations with people. The main character grown up in the wild and got a different way of seeing humans. It has a beautiful hand drawn artstyle and the translations to english are pretty good. I enjoyed the game at first but then it just got a bit confusing. I like that you must use every day to improve something in Katie like increasing the x or y stat and making new friends, it could influence you in real life too! I’m mostly a lazy person and this made me realize that again, at least i won’t be comfortable for a while ,,increasing no stats'' and i will try to change something. I didn’t like that each outfit increases some points in your character, basically you have to look like a clown just to increase a specific stat. I played the first ,,Her'' which didn’t make it on steam for some reason and didn’t review it, but this one doesn’t look like it has anything new. The tag ,,Sexual Content'' isn’t really fit… the only sexual content in this game is making Katie naked after reaching a point of intimacy (You can walk with her in the city like that, it’s actually pretty funny watching her and other people act normal when she is naked) and some ,,sexy clothes'' like underwear, swimsuit and ,,kitty skirt''. The gameplay gets a bit repetitive, but thats just my own opinion. You can’t skip text or just make it move faster, so you have to go on it’s speed. The only options in the game are sound options, you might want to mute the music and get yourself some good ones from youtube, because the main music gets really repetitive and annoying, try some Lo-fi hiphop, it works with this calm visual novel. The interface is a bit… weird, maybe its because the developer made it look good in chinese only, but english has some problems. For example, the settings are written like ,,Settin'' and one g under it.

Cool. I love the graphic and charactor custumazation options. It reminds me so much of Princess Maker Series, but you could add more cool options that Princess Maker Series did not have, like change the charactor’s hair style or make up? Or give some option to buy furnitures of the room, something like that.

LOVE! TRUTH! PUZZLE!
LOVE! TRUTH! PUZZLE! is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template and changing a few things. In this case it was a game construction kit/template for doing a simple jigsaw puzzle with less than a handful of low res images of Manga art girls. The “developer”, Rosa Special Studio, has done this over a dozen times now:
-
Sweet Halloween
-
My Sweet Ants
-
Mystical Lights
-
Cute Girls Love Books

El Tango de la Muerte
El Tango de la Muerte:
It takes two to tango, isn’t what they say! What if someone wants to tango but has two left feet? The image in my mind is that a person would have his upper body leaning toward the right in order to compensate for his/her unfortunate tendency to deviate to their left side. Joking aside, what would you do if your childhood sweetheart was a great Tango dancer, and you discovered that you actually had not two, but three left feet? You’d probably ask someone to help you out, right? That is exactly what Luciano did. He asked his best friend Julio to teach him how to find the secret of his right foot. Otherwise, it would truly become El Tango de la Muerte!

A fresh and highly unique spin on the rhythm genre. You're basically trying to follow the pattern as it appears on the floor with various flourishes that you can hit for added effect. While this sounds simple, picking up on the rhythm can be tough and you'll feel exactly as awkward as someone dancing poorly would in real life, but when you finally get the beat down and hit that string of notes just right, it feels _amazing_
The theme and story are also very fun. I can honestly say I've never played a game about Argentenian ballroom dancing before. The storyline is like a soap opera gangster story and it's surprisingly well-written with some memorable characters and fun over-the-top melodrama.

I'm pretty simple, if I see a game with a cat in it, I buy, so I didn't realize when I bought Hellcat that it was released this month! And I also didn't realize it was a Russian game translated to English and only had one English review lol. I figured with that considered, I would write a review for other users considering to buy the title, since there isn't a lot of information given. I have played through the entire game, and played through level 1-7 four times. I have all of the achievements. There is ten levels overall, the first seven are solo, then a boss battle, then two levels were you must control both the Hellcat and his girlfriend, and then the end transitions into a fight against the GrandBoss. This game is very, very fastpaced and brutal. One hit will auto kill you, and there is no checkpoints, so players will go back to the very beginning of the level to try again.

## Curiosity
"Curiosity killed the cat …" - says the main character of this story and "come between the bark and the tree", because he knows that "... satisfaction brought it back." He knows a lot of idioms and doesn't believe in omens. He don't gift you adversity or failure, when he crosses your road, but just living its life.
Curiosity can bring you back ... or not. Would you like to check it?
This story is full of funny and sad moments. In some places, it is able to bring a smile or tears.
