Its pretty much an average game, Maybe slightly above but thats all. If you have a big backlog its not worth of coming back, but if you dont have many games to play then you can try I guess. I'm not saying it was bad and not worth of playing, just not worth of any hype.
Thanks for the input on
Princess Evangile. It seems everyone here played it so it may be worth a shot just for that reason alone. I don't have a backlog of games to play and usually just go with what strikes my fancy when browsing the month's releases on Getchu. Still, I like to go back to some of the more popular titles on both EGS and VNDB once in a while, recently I've played
Steins;Gate and
Little Busters for example.
Back when I was in prep school, I played some titles like
Gloria,
Bible Black and
Three Sisters Stories (in English) and thought everything was as heavy as that, I only recently restarted last year through
あの晴れわたる空より高く, mostly to test my Japanese level, and I got hooked by the more tame titles out there.
So basically most of the titles before Summer 2014 I haven't touched, if you have any suggestions or favorites from before then please do tell. Just no rape/hypnosis/violence stuff, it's not for me.
I went sifting through EGS...I've been playing average stuff all along according to them, with a few above average ones here and there.
Hell even my favorite game Sengoku Koihime got only 75 at EGS, just because it doesn't have ero scenes. I'm expecting at least 80 from the remake X though.
I don't usually put much stock in the game's scores from EGS or VNDB. Some titles I liked didn't get high scores, some titles with high scores I hated... Still, I often look at reviews on the site after finishing a game, some users write some pretty detailed stuff. I may give Sengoku Koihime a try, thanks, not too much into linear plots and polygamy though.
I finished the trial of Amakano 2 and am definitely looking forward to it. It's still a shame that Azarashisoft's system for the namable protagonist (based on Amakano 1) is way inferior to Lovely/PrettyxCation even if you use the default name, but other than that Amakano 2 seems quite to my liking. A proactive MC, good heroines from what I saw, and likely lot of "awww" moments. Who needs drama in this case?
Did they again go with the kinda awkward "anata-sama", "danna-sama", "kouhai-kun" style of calling the MC ? Honestly I'd rather they just went with a normal name, in Amakano that just felt off. Well, Koharu's "senpai" was fine I guess, can't remember what she switched to when you got closer to her.
Do you use the Lovely Call system in LxC/PxC ? There's quite a lot of choice (though of course, no foreign names) but in the end I just turned it off and only left "senpai". It got better over the games but it still doesn't integrate well enough in the lines to not feel out of place to me.
Anyway, I haven't really looked at December's releases yet, glad to see Amakano gets a sequel, I liked the first one.

Still going with
恋する気持ちのかさねかた, it's actually quite an enjoyable read. I like the general attitude of the characters in the face of their problems, they act in a more grown-up way than I've been used to. I was surprised at how short the common path was, basically heroine introductions and that's it, but I don't dislike it. It makes the story more focused on the relationship building between the MC and one heroine at once, rather than raising everyone flags at the same time, it's something I really appreciate since I usually frown at MCs fooling around left and right.
It's just a shame the routes themselves are so short. I already played through Mio, Hiyori and Ichika's... I'd rather they cut down on the number of heroines and put more content on individual routes : although there was some icha-icha and some drama it just felt that it was going too fast. Ecchi scene are also some of the shortest I've seen...
