LoveKami -Useless Goddess-
Should you get this game? Well, if you like cute love stories told in visual novel format, with a generous dollop of fanservice thrown in, then yes, you absolutely should. Otherwise, it might not be the game for you.
LoveKami -Useless Goddess- is not really a sequel to Pulltop/MoeNovel’s other LoveKami game, though it takes place in the same universe. I haven’t played that game myself, so I can’t compare the two, but this game stands on its own quite well; you don’t need to have played the first game in order to fully enjoy this one. The protagonist is a super-ordinary guy named Sho who, on his way back from the convenience store one night, runs into a girl passed out in the street. It turns out she’s one of the goddesses that’s come to Earth, although she’s what’s known as an “aragami” - a troublesome goddess, of sorts. Sho shares his food with her, and decides to bring her back home until they figure out what can be done for her. Wacky hijinks ensue almost immediately.

LoveKami -Useless Goddess- is borderline NSFW, but it’s not a bad thing.
Don’t get me wrong, it has some good sides
Where do I start.. it gives a very different take on the LoveKami series, instead of Divine Idols in Divinity Stage though it is mentioned but you don’t see any of it here .
Routes
It gives you three routes same as before, but all three of them follow a common route but it gives a different scenario and ending depending on the route you picked. I noticed that how the three routes somehow follow a similar pattern of events and/or conflicts from each other, like they follow a same path but its completely different from each other.

🧠 OUT OF THE BOX
It really is a shame that this game doesn’t seem to be getting much attention. I think it is quite a hidden gem.
I really like the art style. All the character sprites just ooze personality. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that the idle animations in some cutscenes look a bit exaggerated, with some characters constantly headbanging for no reason. Less animation would have been more here. But I am willing to overlook that minor flaw because I just enjoy the style so much. Also, don’t let the cutesy look fool you. There are some really brutal scenes in this game.

It’s a good game where you play a bouncer hired by your maffia boss after being released from prison and no one else will give you a job, while all the while trying to stay on the straight and narrow and keep your bills paid. You have to check people coming into the night club for simple stuff to start with (dress code, ID, correct tickets, not under age, not drunk etc) but as things go along, you start getting extra requests and criteria to meet.
There’s a basic storyline. It doesn’t have many ways it can significantly branch from the linear storyline (so far the majority I tried don’t make a lot of difference or cause you to hit dead ends (sometimes literally.) So unless you enjoy the ticket checking side of things, replayability is limited. Checking tickets is fun and challenging for the first round, but does have threshold where it starts to lose its shine. (I kind of wish it was mixed up a bit with more variation.)

Choose Wisely
Pretty boring game that fools You with the title and dialogues into thinking that Your choices matter. They don’t, big spoiler:
! at the end of the game only 1 character survives despite many choices that fool You into thinking if You could save other characters. Level design and story are boring after You know Your choices don’t matter that much. You have to backtrack through many areas which just makes the game longer. The description says the game has “great replayability” but after finishing it once You won’t touch it anyway because of how boring it is. The only people I believe replayed the game 2+ times are achievement junkies like me. I’m still trying to 100% this but it’ll take me a long time because I don’t feel like touching this game anymore right now. I completed 2 playthroughs that took me around 6-7h excluding some afk breaks I had even though I used previous save that was around 60% completion I believe. Basically game save to choose which character keeps the key item. I cannot believe how much developers tried to make the game longer. Even without backtracking the final 30minutes of the game are pure bs. You get to fight all the bosses that You fought already before You get to the final room and have to make final decision. The fact that road to the room was filled with many smaller mobs that would use up Your health, mana and useful items that would help You in these boss fights didn’t help at all. I completed the game at normal difficulty so I don’t even want to imagine how bad it is on hard or masochist. I don’t recommend this game even for its low price. “Choose wisely” is an illusion that gets repeated many times throught the game, there’s a lot of backtracking which doesn’t even help on normal difficulty, I had no fun playing this game. Save Your time and money unless You’re a real masochist though I think masochist difficulty might be too much even for real masochists.

This is probably the most artistic short RPG I’ve played. I’m a perv and I play the game because of… you know… those ‘melons’. I bought it using a coupon I got from crafting my nekonin game badge.
So, this is a short RPG about some characters with different personalities and backgrounds trapped out of nowhere in a mysterious dungeon. The choice you make along the game will decide which may live and die. For those who just want to enjoy the story, there’s the casual mode. If you seek more challenging adventure, you can choose between three levels of difficulties.

Dark Egypt
The scenery at the start of the game is probably the only highlight of this game. The lack of clear instructions make it very difficult for a first time player to complete this game without additional guides. Moreover, the lackluster gameplay does not really compensate for the uninspiring plot. The map itself is also just straight up a maze (and not in a good way).

This is a niche game for people who don’t mind a lot of downtime waiting for the game to load (or relaunch after a crash) and love to die a lot trying to figure out how to survive traps and other situations.
It looks nice, has fitting noises/music, decent, challenging gameplay, but also fun-destroying technical issues.
The game’s two big problems are frequent crashes and long load times, and these issues occur together. When you launch the game your savegame will load fine, but after you die you have a much higher than even chance of the game crashing, but only after you’ve sat through the half minute load time of course. Yep, half a minute. After every single death / crash. With not a lot of textures to load (and from an SSD drive) and a static light map that should have been pre-rendered for all levels when the game launched, not on every savegame load. There shouldn’t even be a load time. You can expect to spend 80%+ of your time watching the game launch after a crash or watching the load screen.

With the borders closed due the current pandemic, you can at least travel in your mind while playing this game.
Take a trip with your brother-in-law onboard the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway, the longest railway line in the world. You are starting from Moskow and (maybe) reach Vladivostok a few days later. The game plays like a visual novel, with a map of Russia showing your progress and photographs illustrating the journey. Keep your stress level low and your fatigue under control while managing your travel budget. Meet people while travelling, and get along with your brother-in-law. There are many decisions to make, which can lead to quite different journeys by train (or other means).

Dead But Alive! Southern England
I love visual novels, and love zombie games wih resources and group managing. And so I really wished I could recommend this game but I really can’t.
The first biggest issue, is that the game is short or incomplete. While is not uncommon games that have are launches as only chapter 1, this one is sold as full price complete game and not advertised as a chapter 1 of a story or work in progress. You can finish the game in one sit in a few hours (5-9 hours gameplay I would say, even less if you rush things) and there’s a bug where you literaly skip a part of the story straigh to the end, may you want to do it or not.

Awful game.
I don’t normally review games I haven’t completed but even before I ran into a game-breaking bug I was completely fedup with this game.
It’s just an appalling mish-mash of zombie survival + visual novel.
The characters are stereotypical and lack depth. The conversation is stilted and boring, oftentimes with different people saying the same line at different stages.
The text explaining the survival bits where you weigh up and embark on different resource runs is poorly written, boring and repetitive. There’s so many elements that just seemed half baked, like key survivor health levels. Or the fact one of my group kept begging for a new kitchen, despite that fact that when I got it I never used it as it was far more cost effective in resrouce time to go scavenge food! Anyway, the consequences of running out of food or making too much noise never materialise either so you can forget about worrying about that new kitchen!

Realm of Night: The Forbidden Knowledge
Yeah no, this is a interesting game sure but i keep getting the bad ending on the train, i really hate games that is this strict on choices that you have to get a perfect score to get a good ending. I hope some ones does a guide at some point but until then i cant recommend this.
The worst thing about this game is the card system.

Seek Girl Ⅱ
Good News? No banging hammering chicks like Seek Girl game. Just drag the draggable object in a non stop pattern in the grid and jump to next puzzle. Most basic like some mobile game. Buy Game cheap at 40% sale at 0.30$ or 0.50$, finish game of some 12 puzzles in less than 5 minutes - IF you do all activity needed! Else, just click 35 times on first screen all 35 Achievements unlocked in 30 seconds.
Unlock 3 Sexy trading cards, 35 Achievements 100% [Not bugged like Seek Girl whose fix I posted in my review] and move on. manually do needed activity end game in 5 minutes. Else, click 35 times on first puzzle and unlock all 35 achievements in 1 minute. Achievement Hunters can have the easy cake and grin end to end satisfied. Card farmers please get cards in 5 minutes playing than burn power 4 hours. LOL!

Unlike the previous game this is actually a proper game. Still really barebone, but may make you think once or twice. The goal this time is to move a slider over a grid and pass over each available cell only once. And it looks like it’s not possible to cheese it by moving slider all over the place - you have to move it over these cells in sequence. There are quite a few levels as well, so not bad for something this cheap.
There’s only 1 static picture per girl and 3 animations one of which is visible while puzzle mode is active, second activates after finishing puzzle and third one could be activated manually from the menu. Same as in previous game art and sound are of a reasonably good quality. You can change sound settings or restart/exit the level by using Esc menu.
