Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists ~Ateliers of the New World~ / ネルケと伝説の錬金術士たち ～新たな大地のアトリエ～
When I first started playing it - I was clueless to what all was going on. That being said I was ecstatic about this being a hardworking bosslady with NO time countdown like the previous games had been… ummm yeah. 6 hours later - I realized after my advisor came in my office and told me that he was taking me back to the capitol for not reaching my task given, THAT IT WAS REAL. Needless to say I was very disappointed to know this was in fact cruel on time management. The second time around I knew not to mess about; starting production and gathering as soon as I could and it made it a little bit easier being prepared for the future goal tasks when they unveiled.

This is my first game of the Atelier series.
I saw recommendations of Atelier games but never tryed one because they are always so expensive.
But i have to say its worth the money.
Characters: 10/10
Lovely Characters and everyone of them with their own little story.
Music: 10/10
It is really relaxing to listen to this music while manage the production etc.
Alchemy: 5/10
It´s not that advanced but for new players to the series its really good to understand the base mechanic of the whole system.

Actraiser Renaissance
First of all, this is a QUINTET remaster. The mere fact that this game exists is a tremendous blessing for a certain cult fanbase.
The obvious bias aside, is the game good?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE
It’s obvious that a lot of faithful effort was put into remastering this game. From including Yuzo Koshiro’s amazing soundtrack and accompaniment to the astounding artwork given to the many characters, menus and intro cutscene. People put their sweat and tears into this, and it shows in that regard.

A great example on how to make a remake. Renaissance does an excellent job of bring the original SNES games action and town sim into a modern era with new graphics, classic and remixed soundtrack, and expanded story that makes you feel more immersed in what was a somewhat bare-bones world before.
The new artwork is great and the story telling is actually quite deep. Everything reads like a positive psalm with the writing really showing some great character development and overall storytelling. Which is good as all the new characters do little gameplay wise. The story is the only way you will interact and learn about the characters and their backstories.

Dungeon Dreams
I looked up Azure Dreams to see if maybe they made a sequel to it.
I ran across this. I’m sure many others looking that up came across this game.
I really enjoyed this game.
Though the 60+ hours played is obviously divided between 3 game plays (one for each class)
Through trying to do everything in one game I got to 42 hours, that was milking it.
Overall I found it very fun to play.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Ratings 9/10 (Great Game Mechanics, Dungeon Crawler+ Dating Sim+Town Builder)
I have been playing RPG games my whole life, and this is one of the best RPG game that I’ve come across.
It’s a game developed by one person and fully funded by Kickstarter backers.
Here’s what is really great about this game. The most impressive feature is the great game mechanics and game design.
This game has 3 broad classes : Fighters, Scouts and Mages.
However, each of these classes have about 10 different sub-classes that you can play.

Slow living with Princess
As a big fan of adventure and fantasy games. anime, and web/light novels, this game is totally my wet dream lol and no, I have neither read the novel nor watched the anime, and I haven’t finished the entire story YET ;) wink
With a bit of isekai vibe (I don’t even know why I get it from this game), you start your new life in game as a adventure and a drug dealer or a pharmacist as a kids friendly term. Though you can pretty much sell everything and anything in your apothecary, like sometimes your customers will come and rob you off the egg you’ve been saving to make eggs and bacon…

Huge fan of the manga and now the anime. Very fun RPG that is reminiscent of Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley. You gather herbs and other resources as well as fight monsters in dungeons in order to obtain supplies for crafting and potion making which you will need to sell in the character’s personal store.
For an early access game, there is a LOT of content. Took me 27 Hours to complete all available main quests and side quests. Was also able to complete a majority of the wishlists for the other characters with the exception of some items which are too rare to obtain. Also only missing 1 achievement, but I did not want to grind a few more hours when I essentially finished all the available storyline quests.

Holy Road
It is the darkest of games, it is the dullest of games, it is a game of building, it is a game of twisted erotic fantasy…
This really is A Tale of Two Games
Game 1) This is the game you download from Steam. It has characters that make little to no sense. It has you do building with no apparent goals or achievements. It’s listed as adult, but only seems to hint at it in the game… WTF
Game 2) This is the game after you patch it and add all the original content back in. This is a game of an evil cleric and nun who sadistically manipulate the women of their church. Themes of blackmail, BDSM, coercion and torture can be found throughout the game. This is a dark Hentai game that is likely has themes too dark for more adults. If you’re into bondage Hentai, dark themes, and dislike organized religion, this is your game! Multiple endings, close to a dozen women to manipulate and coerce and graphic Hentai images of it all.

Holy Cow! (^･ω･^) Holy Nyanco! (ΦωΦ) Holy Road..?! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- Holy Patch : https://kaguragames.com/holyroad-patch/
A fairly interesting Ecchi game has been released. Oh, holy. Surprised at KaguraGames’s excellent naming sense. Do you know the original title of this game? ;) It’s…
! Virgin Road! We need to look at Kagura Games positively, which is trying to make global users enjoy games safely. (o´・ω-)b
Holy Road . It is a game for revenge about the exiled bishop. Revenge! It is one of the largest catharsis that humans can feel. REVENGE SOLVES EVERYTHING. The difference between Dishonored’s hero and the main character in this game is the Ecchi Power. So what is your Ecchi power? In this game you are a bishop. You receive confessions from virgins in the village. Through such a role, you become increasingly aware of their weaknesses. What will happen afterwards? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Dungeon Dreams (Female Protagonist)
Dungeon Dreams (female protagonist) Review
As a person who grew up playing Azure Dreams, (and one who still actually owns the game), Dungeon Dreams was a quirky, fun alternative game to those long lost days of lore. Players will discover key moments reminiscent of the old Azure Dreams such as the character of Grant, who like Ghosh, is just as obnoxious, arrogant, and hilarious - equipped with his own theme song at every appearance. One important detail that sound be mentioned is the vast superiority of the Dungeon Dreams soundtrack compared to Azure Dreams. Instead of the grating obnoxious sound track of Azure Dreams, Dungeon Dreams is trendy and upbeat. I had often found myself humming along with it especially during the battle scenes.

This is absolutely the single best game of it’s style that I’ve ever played in my entire life, and I’ve been a gamer since 83!! This is a cRPG/Dungeon Crawler/Life Sim/Dating Sim/Time Management/everything in between!! This game literally has it all and then 1 up’s it all! It literally scratches every itch I’ve ever had in a game. This is My Time in Portia with adult undertones but with real cRPG/Dungeon Crawling equally involved.
There is building and expansion, serious risk vs reward akin to the classics like Ultima, dungeon crawling with just the right amount of grinding for XP and the rewards are very fair and balanced. There are multiple characters to party with and you must actively think throughout each dungeon dive. This is no simple button mashing here. The AI of the mobs is intuitive and forward thinking so one must react accordingly. The skill system exceeds my expectations in literally every way. There are the 3 typical branches, Fighter, Rogue, and Mage, but these branch into multiple subclasses with passive skills that stay active no matter what class is active!!!

Drill Deal: Borehole (Alpha)
Alpha seems pretty solid. At about 4.8 hours, the pathing for the workers when crazy. Poor guys standing right next to a canteen couldn’t find the entrance and got mad at me, some tried to walk off the edge of the platform, a few couldn’t find a resting place, despite numerous housing buildings available.
[edit] 12 hours: The game still is running well. I had one crash where some buttons could not be pushed, but it went away with continued play. Employees still get trapped periodically. I’ve tried different ways to free them up (destroying the building, changing jobs, etc), but firing seems to be the only effective solution (why is it always a level 4 driller? ~sad face~). Bridges can’t be deleted, which is an inconvenience. I find the game relaxing. It isn’t very challenging yet, but in time I can see different maps getting more and more difficult as they are added. Prices for new contracts seems a bit low. A player might pay 1600 to unlock it, but will earn back an infinite amount. Perhaps contracts should be renegotiated after X number of sales.

This will most likely be a pleasant management game to play.
During the alpha I found two things that was quite annoying.
First was that there seems to be no way to demolish platforms.
Second was that the workshop didn’t cover new platforms so on the 2x7 platform you’d have to sacrifice 4x4 space for a workshop.
And very “alpha” specific I found that the canteen upgrade was isled among alpha-locked upgrades in the tech tree. Rendering it unreachable but implemented.
This is the type of game I wouldn’t pay more than 9-12€ for,

Ni no Kuni™ II: Revenant Kingdom
TL;DR
A nice JRPG with a lot of charm, but lacking polish and a coherent narrative. Every good thing is half-baked, but the longer you play, the more the bad stuff catches up.
The Elephant in the Room
Ni No Kuni 2 Revenant Kingdom is still being made by Level 5, but Ghibli was not involved in any kind of way anymore. This means that a lot of the magic was lost in comparison and if I had to compare this game with something I already knew:
The Tales of series comes really close, even the battle system is somewhat similar. This makes Ni No Kuni 2 a lot more generic and takes away from the identity that the first game had. Despite sounding harsh I want to stress that Ni No Kuni 2 is still really presentable and feels more like a Dragon Quest game that captures you with it’s vibrant world, goofy characters and stories , making it a lot more traditional.

In life, as in tennis, there are forced and unforced errors. Some mistakes we can’t help because the situation we were put in was too complex to begin with, others are soley the result of our bad judgement. In a game that does something truly unique or ambitious, forced errors can be forgiven readily, unforced ones not so much. Ni No Kuni 2 is a game of a lot of (minor) forced errors and few (but noticeable) unforced ones.
Games are hard to make. They take a lot of time and money, and sometimes smaller studios, willing or not, take on projects that are a bit bigger than they can handle. To Level 5’s credit, they chose to allocate their resources correctly. I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the low number of unique monsters and the repetitive content of some of the sidequests, but what I think is important is that all
! 100 of the recruitable citizens have two unique models (one for towns, one for the overworld map), a wonderful hand-drawn portrait for menu screens, their own descriptions, personalities, and attributes for what they are best at in the kingdom development simulation. A large number of the citizens you recruit pull double duty as unit commanders for the skirmish game mode, in which they all have a unique passive skill, active skills which they only share with a couple other units, and voice lines for defeating enemy officers. Would I prefer more enemy types? Yes. But if resouces had to be allocated unevenly in this game about making friends and building communities, better they be weighted towards friends than enemies.
