Holy moley, you are not kidding. It has over 633 reviews sitting at mostly negative after just releasing. The content does sound distributing from what little I read. That said, not sure what else to expect since it says it features yandere character.
The following is a bit spoilery (and is based on second-hand information), so read at your own discretion, though I'll try to be vague about it:
Planetarian is a great VN.
Oh boy, more than okay. I meant recent as in the last very few years. I just didn't look for big huge classic rec like Steins;Gate.
Here are a some VNs from the last couple of years that I really liked.Oh boy, more than okay. I meant recent as in the last very few years. I just didn't look for big huge classic rec like Steins;Gate.
In fact there are several ones that I missed that looked nice, like Ley Line, Chrono Clock, Raging Loop, World End Syndrome etc. So not RECENT! just no intemporal classics I won't be able to finish
For somewhat older games that have just been recently translated and released in the west, Baldr Sky 1 and 2 (released as one whole game in the west) is one of my all time favorites. It's massively long and can feel like a slog at times, but if you want a well crafted sci=fi cyberpunk world with some really customizable and great action gameplay, you can't go wrong with it. The soundtrack is also varied and excellent as well.Kinda in the mood to try it. Your positive feedback is intriguing and the shorter nature of the episodic release may work in my favor as I seemingly can’t finish a VN
And yeah, the first episode is kinda cheap.
Do people have recommendations for some other recent VN ?
Thank you Exzyleph and skLaFarebear for the interesting recs !

About Nanairo, which I have had in my wish list for some times. I have been spoiled the gore cgi, or part of them, but a trigger I have to see clarified :
does the puppy die ?
None that I am aware of.
My dear friend, if it's salvation you seek, you shan't find that here.
If this can make you feel better... According to steam I have 58 VNs in the backlog
Rookie numbers ! I can't finish a VN for lack of dedication and I have 86If this can make you feel better... According to steam I have 58 VNs in the backlog
Now enjoy looking through all these banners with anime girls in your library!Rookie numbers ! I can't finish a VN for lack of dedication and I have 86
According to the old Definitive Higu arc chart, they are planning to do Rei and Hou, but I've personally seen or heard nothing about it since they released Episode 8.
I recall they announced doing 14 episodes in total back when the very first ep was released, but its been quiet since then; perhaps sales figures have changed their mind
Umineko I recall being longer than Higurashi (I don't have total hours between the two to compare, although I did play more of Umineko at once so maybe that's where I'm getting my impression from)I’m about to wrap up Higurashi ch.7 which means I’ll only have one chapter left (kind of). While I generally like it, sweet baby Oyashiro is this series overlong. I appreciate the characterization and whatnot that takes place before shit hits the fan every chapter, but there’s a slimmed down version of this that would be significantly easier to digest.
Having said that, I am still somewhat interested in Umineko. How does it compare to Higurashi in terms of pacing? I imagine because it’s a made up of only two distinct chapters it would at least have more of a gradual build than Higurashi’s sine wave structure
No, it's the same as Higurashi where it has both the Question and Answer arcs, with each arc split into four chapters and the end of each chapter kind of serving as a "reset point" for story reasons.I’m about to wrap up Higurashi ch.7 which means I’ll only have one chapter left (kind of).

Umineko is 8 chapters + 3 additional short ones. Still way lower compared to Higurashi's 24.I’m about to wrap up Higurashi ch.7 which means I’ll only have one chapter left (kind of).

That gives me some pause then. Based on what you're saying it seems like it would be better to at least put it off until I've let the experience of playing Higurashi settle a little.Is it a full "reset" like Higurashi then? That aspect of it and more specifically that the (big picture) connective tissue between its chapters didn't materialize until so late in the series did not sit too well with me. I enjoyed the mystery there, but the general lack of conclusiveness for such a long time made it difficult to press on.
oh yeah, definitely have a break in between, you'll burn out if you move on from Higurashi straight to Umineko imo, particularly given how long the latter isWow, thanks a bunch for the replies!

Gotcha. Thanks. I’ve been doing a chapter of Higurashi every few months and even then it wore me down! Next year for Umineko then, at this rate

EDIT: The similar games recommendation box never failed to crack me up.
None so far. VisualArts' release schedule is weird. I'm still waiting for Summer Pockets Reflection Blue and Angel Beats! but seems like the fan translations of it is still the way to go.
