Hello! I'm Jonny, and I will be reviewing games on this blog. Without further ado, lets jump into the first review.
Last year, in February, Virtue's Last Reward came out on the 3DS and PS Vita. Well, that was in Japan - us lot over in Europe didn't get it until November. Virtue's Last Reward is a visual novel, which are quite popular in Japan, but haven't really received much attention in the west. It was the sequel to a DS called 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, which is also a visual novel. Strangely enough, it was a success for Aksys games to localize the game, despite being released over in the west. It received critical acclaim and sold quite decently, even if the plot was a bit bonkers for western tastes.
So, Rising Star (known for publishing games in Europe such a the Harvest Moon and Rune Factory series) decided to port the game over to Europe. Was it worth it? That's a yes. The game was released, earning great reviews (8.5s, 9s, and even some 9.5s), and managed to scoop up some game of the year awards as well while it was at it.
