NEWS: Blue Reflection Game Gets Western Release on PS4, PC

Damnit! I'd have been all over this game on Vita!

Yuri Game + Steam Port = INSTANT BUY!

Yuri Game + Steam Port = INSTANT BUY!

Reposting what I wrote elswehere so people get an idea of what to expect:

1) Despite being part of Gust's Bishojo Matsuri, the "yuri baiting" is minimal in this game. There's only one side character that can be considered like this, and technically speaking the game doesn't really touch the overall romantic relationship angle that much, save for another side character (but in this case it's a conventional one);

2) The story is the main focus: the game is laughably easy and if you min max you can basically cumberstomp everything. There's also no need to fight enemies save the story mandated ones, unless you want to craft items, as they don't give any XP (the leveling up system is different and it's mostly on-rails);

3) The OST is excellent, no doubt;

4) While the characters are decently animated in battle and movies, in the cutscenes they are robotic - and the extremely odd camera angles and cuts between cutscenes don't help;

5) Only the main story is voiced - the side story events (essential to get a minimal development of the side characters) are unvoiced, and that's a shame;

6) Much like Yoru no Nai Kuni / Nights of the Azure, the entire setting (the supernatural part, that is) is mostly hinted and not explained in detail.

Despite all this I enjoyed the game. The story may not be breaking new grounds, but it's fine (even if sometimes you can see odd jumps in tone due to the fact that there were three writers involved). The DLC is mostly pointless (costumes) so it can be skipped entirely. The fanservice is there, but aside a few sequences it didn't really bother me.
