gameAug 31, 2024, 5:20 PMCurrent State of IIDX and the Path to KaidenI've organized the current state and challenges of IIDX. While I feel I've overcome a slump and improved my skills, I still feel far from achieving Kaiden. After organizing the current situation and identifying future challenges, I've begun to question whether the key to this music game might simply be pressing buttons in rhythm.

gameFeb 25, 2020, 2:30 PMThirteen Sentinels: Aegis Rim ReviewThis is a review of Thirteen Sentinels: Aegis Rim. The ADV part has high-quality story, graphics, and sound, with a system that includes action elements. The diversity of characters and the mechanism of switching perspectives are particularly well-done, allowing for smooth progression through the complex story. However, there were fewer surprising elements in the story, and the timing of information disclosure was unsatisfactory in some parts. The tower defense part tends to become repetitive, but overall it's a high-quality work.
gameApr 7, 2019, 4:54 AMBraid ReviewThis is a review of the puzzle game "Braid". The characteristic "time-rewinding" operation serves as an element that enhances the quality of the puzzles. Various gimmicks and world-building are also of high quality, and there is a high degree of freedom in progression. However, new operations and knowledge may be suddenly required in some cases, and the volume is slightly on the lower side. The story is complex, so the Japanese setting is recommended.
gameJan 8, 2019, 9:40 AMHer Story ReviewHer Story is a game characterized by its distinctive game system and highly flexible progression. Players operate a police database to explore the story of a woman whose husband has gone missing. The core parts of the game become challenging, and the game balance is well-adjusted. Subtle visual effects and elements unrelated to the main plot create a flavorful atmosphere. However, the criteria for completion are unclear, which may result in a lack of sense of achievement.
gameDec 10, 2018, 8:23 AMLiEat ReviewI was attracted by the cute jacket and purchased LiEat. Having completed the trilogy set, I'm writing an overall review. This game excels in graphics, characters, and world-building, but other elements are thin, making it different from what I expected. However, being short and cheap, it's not a loss to play.
gameDec 4, 2018, 8:48 AMA Hat in Time ReviewA Hat in Time is an excellent action game, particularly well-done in its puzzle elements and world-building. The protagonist is an alien who uses the power of hats to progress through stages. Overall, it's a pop and cute action game with solid content. The puzzle elements are well-integrated, reducing stress. The resources are well-crafted, especially the protagonist's motions and BGM. However, some puzzles can be brute-forced, and motion sickness might be an issue.
gameOct 5, 2018, 9:26 PM"Finding Paradise" ReviewFinding Paradise was anticipated as a sequel to To the Moon, but I feel it didn't exceed expectations. The good points from the previous work are carried over, with improvements in story crafting, BGM, and background graphics. However, the story development became predictable, which diminished the sense of excitement. Nevertheless, it leads to the next installment, and those who enjoyed the previous work won't regret playing it.
gameSep 27, 2018, 2:14 AM"To the Moon" Review"To the Moon" is a game with a noteworthy storytelling style. It takes an unusual approach of traveling from the present to the past, which is well-suited for tying up loose ends. It's also brimming with emotion, with the BGM and pixel art enhancing the atmosphere. However, there are some shortcomings in terms of system and gameplay. It's a highly valuable game to play while studying English.
