Pretty good article, I like how it focuses partially in how great and natural the localization job turned out, it's really quality stuff. As they say, the setting is very lively and the awesome photography coupled with the superb background sound (I know we take this kind of stuff for granted, but it's super immersive for what it is) really bring it to life.
It's crazy how it goes from absurdly funny, to tense and sometimes even scary. It actually reminds me a lot of Yakuza with its aggresive yet well done tonal shifts, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's a Yakuza fan and has even a passing interest in the game or visual novels in general. As a newbie when it comes to VNs I'm quite surprised of how great the little gameplay is (despite the article kinda downplaying it). The way you jump from one character to another to unlock further time slots for one by picking different choices with another makes it feel like a super clever narrative puzzle of sorts. Words really don't do it justice so if you're on PS4 you should check out the demo.
But yeah this game is fantastic and has me absolutely hooked. I expected it to be good but it's far surpassing all expectations I had after finishing the demo. It basically has no low points, the pacing is superb and every story, even the ones that are actively funny are very engaging.
Basically PLAY 428
