gameNov 7, 2024, 4:05 PMProgress on Rhythm Games (November 2024)I’ve organized the current status and challenges of IIDX and DDR. My personal life has been filled with events, but I’m glad my basic skills are steadily improving. Winter is a harsh season for rhythm games, so I’m worried about what’s to come.
gameAug 31, 2024, 5:20 PMOrganizing the Current State of IIDX and the Road to KaidenI have organized the current state and challenges of IIDX. I feel that I have overcome a slump and improved my fundamental skills, but I still feel far from achieving Kaiden. By organizing my current situation and identifying future challenges, I have begun to question whether pressing buttons in time with the rhythm might be beneficial for music games.
gameAug 26, 2022, 8:00 AM☆11 Unplayed Song Countermeasures MemoThis blog post is a memo of countermeasures for unplayed songs in IIDX☆11. I'm publishing it in the hope that it might be helpful to others, while also summarizing the difficulty levels and strategies for each song. Since I'm not good at songs with a lot of scratches, most of the strategies are for those types of songs.
gameFeb 25, 2020, 2:30 PM"13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim" ReviewThis is a review of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. The ADV part has high-quality stories, graphics, and sound, and the system also includes action elements. The diversity of characters and the device of switching perspectives are particularly well-done, making it easy to progress through the complex story. However, there were some disappointing parts, such as the lack of surprising elements in the story and the timing of information disclosure. The Tower Defense part tends to become monotonous, but overall, it is a high-quality work.
gameApr 7, 2019, 4:54 AMBraid ReviewThis is a review of the puzzle game "Braid". The distinctive "rewind time" operation is an element that enhances the quality of the puzzles. The game also features a high-quality gimmick and world-building, and has a high degree of freedom in its progression. However, it sometimes requires new operations or knowledge suddenly, and the volume is slightly small. The story is also difficult to understand, so it is recommended to set the language to Japanese.
gameJan 8, 2019, 9:40 AMHer Story ReviewHer Story is a game that features a unique game system and high freedom of progression. Players operate a police database to explore the story of a woman whose husband has gone missing. The game's core is challenging, and the game balance is well-adjusted. The detailed visual effects and elements unrelated to the main story create a rich atmosphere.
gameDec 10, 2018, 8:23 AMLiEat ReviewI was drawn to LiEat by its cute jacket and purchased it. Having cleared the three-part set, I'll write a comprehensive review. While the game excels in its graphics and character/world design, other elements are lacking, and it didn't quite meet my expectations. However, it's short and affordable, so it's not a waste of time.
gameDec 4, 2018, 8:48 AMA Hat in Time ReviewA Hat in Time is an excellent action game, particularly with its puzzle elements and world view. The protagonist, an alien, uses the power of hats to progress through stages. The game has a pop and cute action style, with a solid core. The puzzle elements are well-integrated, reducing stress. The resources are also well-made, with the protagonist's motions and BGM being particularly excellent. However, some puzzles can be solved by brute force, and 3D motion sickness may be a concern.
gameOct 5, 2018, 9:26 PM"Finding Paradise" ReviewI felt that Finding Paradise, which was expected to be a sequel to To the Moon, did not exceed my expectations. While it inherits the good points of the previous work, such as the story's craftsmanship, BGM, and background graphics, which have evolved, I felt that the story's development was predictable and the excitement was lost. However, it is connected to the next work, and those who thought the previous work was good will not regret playing it.
gameSep 27, 2018, 2:14 AM"To the Moon" Review"To the Moon" is a game with a remarkable storytelling style. It takes a unique approach by traveling from the present to the past, making it suitable for collecting foreshadowing. The game is also overflowing with emotional moments, and the BGM and pixel art enhance the atmosphere. However, there are some drawbacks in terms of system and gameplay. It's a valuable experience for those who want to practice their English skills.
