My honestly review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. (Note: Campaign only)

Positive:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881321840
Remember, we want Andrew alive, but this is capture or kill.

- Good Plot
The plot of this game is set around a stolen American Club-K missile that hide among the cargo container to strike anywhere in the world and it's depended on you to find and stop them. I won't spoiler the overall plot since I recommend you play by yourself. There will be some shock moment here.

- Highly insane detail
The Amsterdam mission have a lot of insane attention to detail on the map like structure, location and high amount of civilian that you have to careful while lead a shot to a cartel member who point a gun at you. Water detail are also great thanks to new engine that turn away the infamous fish ai to realistic water movement even they didn't upgrade the Fish AI in Cartel Protection.

- Fun and unique gameplay
The mission of this game were fun and unique to each mission especially "Violence and Timing" were you have to shoot a hundred of enemy convoy and you can steal a civilian car to chase the convoy, or "Borderline" where you play as Mexican Special Force try to hunt down the cartel who just crossing the border and you have to careful when go from house to house since some people will greeting to you with guns. I also like the mission "Alone" where you have to survive the attack by craft a weapon to fight the Shadow Company, even I have some negative about the mission which I will mentioned below.

Neutral:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880968527
I have a feeling, Fill Graves will be... very interested in digging to you.

- Downgrade Details
I find some detail have been downgrade when compared to old CoD game (even MW2019) like chicken just explode instead of knock back and die in painful when you shoot them (maybe a modern day problem). Another detail are magazine won't drop from the building when empty reload unlike one in MW2019. I don't know if they downgrade it just to save a 60 GB.

- Riot Shield
The strongest weapon in the game is the Riot Shield. I don't know why but this shield is made out of Captain America's shield material which allow you to survive enemy gunfight even on veteran and it's 3 hit kill to the armored enemy. The shield is unbreakable even in multiplayer except for drill charge and shoot in the back or rear.

- Phillip "Fill" Graves.
At first glance of see this guy, I like that guy as he was appearing to be a friendly guy who support Task Force 141 and Mexican Special Force when he speak on AC-130 that they are brother now. However, after you blew up an oil rig, he betray you and everything have gone wrong after mission "Alone". But I won't tell what a horrible thing he did in that mission.

Negative:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2884722534
We are not cheating... We are hacking!!

- Crash, Crash everywhere! Freeze, Freeze everywhere!
I ran into a crash for 3 time and 2 of them are in the mission "Alone" were I at the middle room surrounded by Shadow Company try to hunt me down (and I play on veteran with knife only). I did make the game crash when try to open a door which is hilarious. Another crash is come from when I jump out of the windows after I ran into a checkpoint glitch that make character float in the air while prone and die. The game also freeze after die to the enemy which often happen to mission where you have a gunfight after rescue a Mexican Special Force team.

I never try to verify the game file for some reason.

- Update requires restart. The application needs to restart to launch Modern Warfare II CAMPAIGN. This process may take a few seconds to complete. Time out waiting for datacenters. Quit to Desktop?
I'm a single player guy. But for some reason, the game require me to have an Activision account and require internet to connect you to the multiplayer match even I just want to play a campaign. Sometime the game will just get an error message that your internet suck because someone is using Zoom call and you either retry or quit the game. Once you enter to the campaign menu, the game need you to restart again for some reason. Also, I can't play the game without all DLC install (maybe I'm wrong, but I just check only campaign and nothing else when install) which Hard Disk might get bombard by Warzone update soon.

- That weird shutter and glitch.
Although I play with WD SN770 which is second fastest SSD beside my SN850 (along with old Nvidia driver to avoid latest driver disaster). I found a weird shutter that cause entire texture to be disappear in short time, mostly in cutscene. As well as glitch I mentioned above where Soap just float in the air while prone like he is just stand still, this glitch only happen in "Alone" when you die and restart the checkpoint at prone status.

Overall:
While the campaign is fun and unique, the crash and restart require make me feel pain when try to play a campaign because you need the internet to connect, and you can't just play the game with only campaign DLC. I not recommend to buy the game while at full price if you are only play just for campaign without touch multiplayer, bad nvidia driver or accidentally get permanently banned for no reason but verify a game file after your game is crash that anti-cheat is believe that you are manipulated the game data.

6/10.

My honestly review of Yomawari: Lost in the Dark.

Positive:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880175117
Do you not remember me? I guess that makes sense. You were pretty young back then...

- Free to choose mission
The mission in this game is based on key item (memory) you have recover, watch them and find the missing memory, you can do any mission as you want. However, it's not mean that you can freely move around the map without get some key item, otherwise, that big eye will attack you.

- Map details
The map art-style in this game is still a cartoon-like anime with much larger and more details especially one on shopping district which now have alley and a lot of object.

- Good sound and music
The game's music theme both opening and ending always good, and the sound effect always catch the environments although I often hear a car move around in the town despite there is no moving car in this game. Also, the character's heartbeat sound can make you thinking that your heart is shaking like that character, so I recommend to not play this game if you are not good enough health.

Neutral:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881636399
Isn't the sky weird there? I'm trying to find where that photo was taken.

- Close your eye
Although I have good experience how to deal with ghost in two previous game. The new system make it easy to avoid the ghost come after you (although not working at some ghost). Despite this, I never use this a lot because of slow move of a character and most of ghost are easy to avoid or run over (except that one guy with a machete and monster cat). The game have no classic cover like bush or billboard unlike previous two game.

- Your character is already dead
Your character you playing may or maybe already dead after the tutorial. I won't spoiled why but this only happen when you get the fake ending and always like this repeatedly until you find the true memory. Despite this, you still die from the ghost much like Yui.

- Older girl
I like the older girl and you can make your character named after her if you have name similarly to her. Funny thing that the Older girl have name similarly to one of central protagonist in Touhou Galaxy Project that I use in work, and she also often say word like Bird.

Negative:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2883407824
Hey...Hey, can you hear me? I told you, right? How to find your courage? Ring the bell in your hand. Not glue your hand.

- Most confuse story ever
I find the story always confuse to me and at some point, you might end up stuck in that loop end where your cursed have been grow. Although the game already hint the next part, I find it to be confused at first due to confuse and not understand, but of course, I already know that the game just trick me to believe something isn't there.

- Boat mission is painful
Some boss fight and mission like one in shopping district, ghost town and doll house is quite easy, others are average, and two others in tunnel near rice field and cave area near sea are difficult. Good thing is there is checkpoint. The boat mission is outright difficult due to small corner to avoid and these water ghost always spawn in worst location. However, once you complete this mission will reward you with camera gameplay which this is only one you can do it over and over again.

- No Mr. Yomawari or Previous protagonist
Despite the game called "Yomawari", you won't find Mr. Yomawari, the mascot character of this game anywhere try to kidnap you except one in the map after you get all puzzle piece. I know that there is no factory section in this game but why? Also, you won't see any previous protagonist like Yui and Haru meet up with you, maybe the game is set 5 year after last game, I don't know.

Overall:
I still love this game thanks to unique artstyle and gameplay, as well as music. However, the game have confused story when come to memory if you caught off guard and overall game is inferior compared to previous game as there is no classic gameplay mechanic and no Yomawari try to kidnap you to his factory. Maybe he can't afford to travel to new town and kidnap a ghost girl unlike he did to Haru.

8.5/10.

My honestly review about Stray.

Positive:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2837844741
You play as a cat, and you must enslave all Humans!

- Very fun and unique puzzle adventure game.
- The theme, color and light is beautiful.
- Very interesting story and background lore.

Negative:
These robot still using Hard Disk and 512MB DDR-400 Ram.
- Weird framerate drop at some location.
- Some weird bug.
- Very simple stealth level.

Neutral:
I tried downloading an aimbot to be the best at this game, but ended up with a malware.
- Double A Uncharted-like RPG Maker Game (I mean, this game is likely a RPG game).
- The Game is short and the story lore is very mysterious.
- Robot Undertale. (there is no voice actor)

Like:
Thank you so much. Here, a little present for you.
- Cat, nothing else.
- You can meow in-game cutscene, as well as ruin some Robot.
- Soundtrack, as well as Robot Musician.

Dislike:
If cat died at the ending. I will refund the game.
- Some cutscene will hurt cat lover.
- Horror game?
- Can't talk to anyone without robot companion.

Summary
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2838346385
What do you think it feels like being dead?
You control a orange cat, explore the walled city after separate from the family. Help the robot in this hopeless city full of alien creature 'Zurks' and oppressive robot 'Sentinels'. My Positive about this game is very fun and unique, you can go a different way rather than go straight way on the mission. The theme, color and light of this game is very beautiful and almost realistic thanks to Unreal Engine. But anyways, the story and background lore is very interesting despite I don't want to know deep about the lore of the game beside some robot still use 512MB DDR-400 Ram.

My negative of this game is first thing first, the weird framerate drop. There is one location I know so far is Neco Corporation where you have to steal a battery and for some reason. I also encounter some weird bug, but all of these are very rare and require some trick. The Sewer level have most of them. The stealth mission is very simple and easy to dodge, especially one in Midtown level.

Overall
I really like the game, allow you to play as cat in the realistic way and the cat lover always love it. Its better than most of AAA game that spend on making a multiplayer and microtransaction stuff instead of singleplayer-only game since you can explore the lore and details of the game. Despite this, the game is very short and require 1 hour and 30 minute to complete (so far my speedrun).

I hope the game (might) need some photo mode and cat customization to the game. But I think that ruining some robot by walk into their leg, drop a color bucket into them and ruin someone's game, or even you can meow entire game is better than doing a mission itself. Story wise, still left unanswered like the origin of the wall, the retro-cyberpunk 512MB DDR-400 and of course, that one big eye creature.

Very recommend game. Cheap price. But worth to play.

My honestly review on Mass Effect Legendary Edition

https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2487066888

The board is green. Approach run has begun.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a RPG action game that remastered the old 2007 - 2012 game. You play as Commander Shepard and fight against the Reaper threat that will destroy the galaxy. Fly a stealth ship for various mission and quest, use your morality on Paragon and Renegade. Stop the Geth invasion, Stop the Collector and Retake the Earth.

The gameplay is very much same as the old game with few different change, I feel that Mass Effect (1) should use the new gameplay system from Mass Effect 2 and 3 instead of an cooldown-based weapon with some bad gameplay like slow-pace shooting and walking, and the Mako goat-climbing technology. The gameplay of Mass Effect 2 and 3 were same and it's still good although Mass Effect 3 have a better gameplay than Mass Effect 2 like quick take cover and dodge, as well as freedom to choose the weapon loadout. Mass Effect 2 have the most restricted weapon loadout ever like if you choose a Sentinel class, you will only use a weak weapon like handgun.

Playing Insanity with New Game+, I find out that Mass Effect 2 has the most Insanity than First and Third game. It's feel like you are playing New Game because you must start to research a new skill and ability to increase chance of survival (and most of the upgrade have insane price). Even enemy with rapid M-8 Avenger will melt my squadmate down in second if left unchecked, use your command and always headshot enemy.

There's a balance between control and usefulness. The less freedom a subject maintains, the less capable it becomes.

Screw that! We can handle ourselves. Go back and get Alenko.

In First Mass Effect. My impression of this game was the visual and new remastered design. You will see the change between the old one and a new one. Some assets from newer game is also used in this game such as one in first mission. Audio have been change, 4K and HDR support.

I never find anything in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 were interesting beside being 4K and HDR support, but it's fix some bug of the game. Still, I never see any different of these game in general, even the cutscene were still reused the old one with upscale render.

This game is still using old Unreal Engine 3 as I know, because it make the game easily to remaster and save sometime to focus on fix bugs and texture, and push the engine to the limit. However, there are few thing this remaster version didn't include beside the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer is Pinnacle Station DLC due to corrupt code and the M-597 Ladon which is weapon from the Wii U exclusive Mass Effect 3: Special Edition. But I hope they should brought them back in some day.

Oh, uh, and then you shoved a gun in my face! You showed me what it meant to be truly extreme. I learned that lesson well.

https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2512945646

Just... I'm sorry if I ever accused you of pointing a gun at me when you didn't actually do that. I was really stressed out.

The first shoved a gun of this game is the Bugs and Glitches is range from little bug like T-pose NPC, a character struck into the cutscene (I saw one in Mass Effect 2 on Omega were Miranda is taking over Mordin and then Jacob just move-in into a cutscene with no animation), and a weird random floating enemy and squadmate. The serious bug is range from crash to desktop (largely from Mass Effect 2 were you click a ability command on top left, and Mass Effect 3 were random loading or get kill before a cutscene) and broken sequence which lock you from doing anything (the great example is Bring Down the Sky mission were you have to find a Missing Engineers, if you find the engineers before the terminals or clue will lock you take action or even lock you from enter the mako).

The second showed me what it meant to be truly extreme is the PC version have poor options and settings, meaning you will never know the game will run at. If you have a bad PC or want to keep the game run smooth without some serious hardware issue is gonna nothing happen, while the game is run fine on my PC, the game have some random lag and loading especially on Mako section.

No matter how far we advance, we will remember the sacrifices of those who made it possible.

https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2503652149

I am alive, and I am not alone.

While there is few random crash and bug, I able to beat the game and complete at everything. Still, people always choose on Paragon or Renegade based on player's action. My best Paragon decision were save the council (even how dumb they are) and take Anderson, and shutdown the Overload project. While My best Renegade decision were Shoot the robot in Overload project (because he don't know how to find a blue shoe) and Udina during the coup. I don't know what your style when come to Paragon or Renegade choice and interrupts.

I always play this game before/after playing Sumire because there are a lot of decision that you want or not want to do, and all decision will impact your feeling and story. Despite being a action game, the game have various ending and consequences what you want to do and don't want to do.

I don't give the score because C-Sec can ruin your day.

My honestly review on Sumire

https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2509634794

You have one day, one life.

Sumire is a adventure game with colorful anime were you control a young girl who meet a mysterious flower who want to fulfill her most desired wish. To achieve the wish come true, she have to fulfill all task of other soul before night falls.

As I have play this game, I have a wonderful day to see some relaxing and colorful day of this game. I love the colorful art and music when you travel into the Japanese village or a rice field, as it feel relax and sometime is nice than adventure in the big city because sometime you (might) always travel on important cities and landmarks, but never see the countryside.

The main character design is remind me of Rinne Sonogami/Yoshimizu, she is cute and always feel sad that someone is no longer want to be friend anymore. She want to make a feeling of love to someone important, making a new friend, restore the relationship with her former friend and tell her feeling to her mother and father. Will her wish be desires or broken is depend on player's action.

The game is always autosave, your action can't be undone so choose wisely.

New friends come, and old ones walk away.

https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2506413404

I'm sad we're not friends.

While the game is telling about Sumire's feelings, But game somehow is being telling my feeling of my own when playing this game were I have a bad day in the past like the girl did were I have a more good friend back in the day, we help each other and willing to protect from the bad thing, like me have a bad people who want to destroy me, bullying me, betrayed me, shred me into piece and nothing will be the same.

I have forget the old friend who leave me or make me suffer, because I never meet them and they only exist in my past, but not my present.

However, since I never tell much of the story to avoiding have a problem with Steam Rules and Guidelines, as well as it's very long story and I can't write down due to Steam letter limitation, and avoid the have contact with bullies and betrayer.

Here's a dirty secret...

But it can protect you from the shadows of the world, and the darkness in other people.

The first dirty secret of this game is the Achievements, while most people want the girl to do some good deeds and made a happy one, or do some bad things for greater good. The achievement have encourage people who just for good playthrough do something bad like steal money, or telling lie HA-HA-HA or kill the rat. But most people don't care, but I care just like why I always play good commander in Mass Effect.

The second dirty secret is being this game is 3D game, sometime GPU get hit like crazy (or maybe being live in the hot place) and there is also texture bug and clipping (Good thing there is no lag), but it's rarely as only to be see in Hot Spring place. Sometime I have run and then get struck into a invisible object like small grass and flower for no reason.

The final dirty secret is a boy name Bo because he sometime appear and sometime not appear alongside with Kenji at Wisteria Tree before dance. This is just a little details, but I don't know if this is cause by a choice or a random.

What a wonderful day.

https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2509636311

That's a wonderful list. Now keep it with you, always.

I have beat the game and complete at everything, it's nice and good game for casual and people who need some relax to listen the music and view a colorful place. But not many people have a good perfect day, sometime you would face the truth and the cruel world you live, just like I made in my novel how to live in the science fantasy world without the bullies.

I always play this game before/after playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition to test some different between these two game, and I like this game because the feeling and story. Despite being a short game, the game have various replay stuff what you want to do and don't want to do.

This is the second game that I review by have some of my feeling because it's great to tell my perfect day. For now, I have end the review.

I don't give the score because it's in your heart.

My honestly review about Nyakori's Rabbit Doll (and After Story DLC)

Positive, Negative, Neutral, Likes, Dislikes
Positive:
- Interesting story.
- Character design and CG art.
- Puzzle Gameplay and Mystery.

Negative:
- Few Game Issue such as can't take screenshot or can't open a Steam Overlay (I don't know if this happen with someone else), and some weird grammar.
- AI and NPC can move even you have interact with cutscene, dialog or choice. Which can ruin some ending.
- Yuri can died in the game.

Neutral:
- Cheap price
- RPG Maker game graphic.
- Game would have more mystery and hide dialog that I still uncover it.

Likes:
- Yuri, good character design and overpowered ability and skill. especially beat the three teddy bear, and she is reveal to be not a bad person.
- Deep story of three characters and origins.

Dislikes:
- Puzzle is difficult. But I never use skip or reduce the difficult.
- Random unexpected trap.

Summary
Nyakori's Rabbit Doll was a Horror RPG Maker game were you control a human-cat hybrid Nyarutoru have explore to find the truth in a big mansion after someone stolen Nyakori's rabbit doll. The story and the setting is very Interesting although I still confuse some of them even the DLC reveal it. The characters and CG design is beautiful despite the RPG maker limitations. I like the puzzle because it very challenge but not too hard, as well as mystery behind the characters which you can unlocked through dialog, item you take and scene.

However, I have few issue with the game like I can't take the screenshot for the game for cool CG and gameplay on what I see even there is mentioned of F12 screenshot key or open a Steam overlay (if you are play with Fullscreen mode), as well as some broken English grammar but it's not my problem because I always press spacebars for skip unless for replay and read the story which is also a problem with AI and NPC can move freely and act something while you are stuck in cutscene, dialog or choice. The great example is "Yuri" because if you still reading the dialog and not skip the cutscene would likely miss the final CG for the Ending because Toru will jump off the building if player (Yuri) miss to reach her in time. Also, Yuri can died in this game too but I don't sure if there is more death trap on her beside the mario gameplay part.

The game is very cheap price and reasonable story, and you don't need to expect some graphic of an RPG Game Maker game. The game might have some of uncover story and cutscene that I still can't found. What I like the most in the game is Yuri, of course because she is the one that trick by evil magic person with some cute ear and because she is very powerful character to use up against some cheater teddy bear game. But I really don't like some unexpected trap that kill Toru because it's very scare part of the game.

Overall
I like the character art and story setting, I hope the dev need to bring more story more longer and example some character like Kori why she like Yuro and why she turn into a cat, as well as Yuri's more backstory. Also, I would like to have more character have death in the trap and random bear kill not just Toru (I don't sure if this is because of limit game sprite) would be a more game more than story telling. Yeah, the game is complex and you have to do step by step to unlock the end, otherwise you will miss and have to start over and over again if you have save in one file or miss it.

Also: The drink, not you. - Bartender
(Pathfinder drink a invisible object)

Honestly review from Mastodonmk2

Pros:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2217360102
- Very fun gameplay with unique ability.
- Open world.
- Good Graphic (PhysX and Raytracing with a lot of destructible map)... BUT
- SCP-like Federal Bureau of Control.
- Good enemy design.

Good thing about this game is a good gameplay stuff like Service Weapon Form such as Pierce (a.k.a. Shotgun/Sniper Rifle Hybrid) or Special ability such as Shield is the best ability to protect against enemy gunfire or object that throw by enemy. The game is an open world with a lot of explore area and the enemy will never be at same location. The game have good graphic that support RTX card such as PhysX and Raytracing (I can notice the different between RTX on and RTX off), as well as a lot of destroying area after get hit by a rocket (However.... the graphic was.). This game is take place in the Federal Bureau of Control that look like a SCP inspired were the item have some power. The enemy design is quite fun to deal with and some of them have unique ability like player, despite I don't like the enemy spam Hiss Charged at me.

Neutral:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2145723432
- Play with Little Witch Nobeta.
- Darling's joke.

Although it's a shooter game, I have already play Little Witch Nobeta and used that game as base for this one since Service Weapon is much like Nobeta's magic staff that need to recharge before shoot the enemy, as well as similar gameplay (except for falling), best weapon to use was Pierce as main weapon and Spin as backup weapon. Darling is too much joke in this game such as one of his mentions to Object of Power, or his dance video near the end of the game.

Cons:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2217360806
- Many bug and some issue.
- Hiss Charged and Hiss Distorted (and Former).
- Threshold Kids.

Bad thing about this game despite I love the game's graphic, if you play this game with DirectX12 for just Raytracing is totally bad idea. If you died, using Fast Travel or have a bad hard disk will make this game look like made for Windows 98 if your computer don't have Pentium 4 CPU with Voodoo GPU to run this game instead of an i7 CPU and RTX GPU card. As well as some issue in this game (or maybe because of Steam) were some of achievement like "Crisis Management" is buggy because you have to take 5 random mission in a single game, if you quit the game will guaranteed that you have to play that over and over. SHUM arcade game will crash the game when you died (for 2 to 3 time or higher) and take to play that arcade game again. Two enemy and 1 boss that I really don't like are Hiss Charged and Hiss Distorted, as Hiss Charged is simply go toward you and go boom which I don't like when they are go near or back. Hiss Distorted is invisible that you can't kill with your default gun, and their attack is very deadly is kind a one hit kill. There are one that I don't like is Threshold Kids videos, it's look like a FBC kid horror animation with people trap in the building.

Final Note:
It's really fun game and unique setting, it's kind like a SCP inspired game that take place in the building that bigger than I think. Also, the game also support raytracing and stuff that I really like. However, the bug and issue is pain to me especially "Crisis Management" achievement bug. If you get this "Crisis Management" achievement, it's fine. But if you quit the game or game crash while do this achievement..........

It's an Object of Power, O.o.p., oops!

Score: 9.1/10

Early Access Review
Honestly review from Mastodonmk2

EARLY ACCESS Review
Pros
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2144463267
- Good Gameplay and combat with Dark Soul.
- Magic unique ability.
- Nobeta.
- Difficult boss fight (try to learn your mistake).
- Medium puzzle.

Good thing about Little Witch Nobeta is have a good gameplay, and good combat. It's look like a third person shooter with Dark Soul gameplay that you have to dodge monster and fight for her truth. Magic ability look unique, such as ICE magic is represent a sub-machine gun which fire full automatic (and most overpowered magic to deal with regular enemy) or FIRE magic is represent a shotgun that deal at close range. If you charge FIRE magic to maximum, it will turn into a rocket launcher. Nobeta is good girl who want to find the truth of herself who have to face with many ghost and puppet doll. Difficult boss fight (although they were not difficult as Taron Malicos who kill me more than 30 - 40 time), since this game is Soul-like, death is common in this game and allow you to learn your mistake as a strength by learn about boss's weakness and dodge their special attack to get mama, so you gonna died a lot in this game. The game have medium puzzle that you have to used your magic to solve this.

Neutral
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2147081120
- Play with Jedi: Fallen Order (Jedi Grand Master level) skill.
- Nobeta is too much cute to died in this game.
- New Game Plus is loading from save file.
- Short level (Dev will release new level after 3 level and secret one).
- No voice (few Nobeta voice were in the game, hope there will be full voice in the cutscene).

When I play this game, I used my skill with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (with Jedi Grand Master level) more than this game because I have to dodge so many attack (especially from the boss level) despite I have died a lot in that game too. This game is hurt Nobeta a lot if she have died in this game a lot since she is too cute to died. The New game plus is come from save file that you have complete the first 3 level were you have to load the game instead of new game, otherwise will delete your save file!! This game have only 3 level at launch and it's too short (unless you have died a lot), I know that Dev will release new level in near future. The character don't have voice at all, just only when Nobeta is spell a magic, pain, jump, or died.

Cons

- Few bug here and there (but I never encounter to any serious bug).

Few thing that I see in Little Witch Nobeta is of course, a bug. Although I never encounter to any serious bug like corrupt save or fall from the map. But I have counter with bug like stuck into a wall or enemy fall into a lava. Overall, I never find anything serious issue or bad thing in this game.

Final Note
I hope this game have to finish all remain level and let Nobeta find the truth of herself. If you support this game and play it with your heart even you have died for many time, you will overcome and beat the boss. More death you are, you will become more stronger just like the word "Where is try, there is success".

I will review this game again once it's full release from Early Access.

Score: 9.8/10

Honestly review from Mastodonmk2...

Pros:
- Command & Conquer (My favorite RTS game, my best C&C game is 1st Red Alert 2, 2 2nd General and 3th Tiberian Son.)
- Gameplay.
- Kane.
- Made by former Westwood Studios (who made Star Wars: Empire at Wars)
- Mammoth Tank (and every Mammoth Tank in all C&C game especially Overload and Mammoth MK.2)

Neu:
- Too much battle and hard to control all unit that just run bypass enemy unit.

Cons:
- No waypoint. (Yeah)
- Technician.

Overview:
Well, old Westwood Studios have return to remastered this game after never have any real Command & Conquer PC game for 10 year since Tiberian Twilight (that game is bad except for Mastodon unit). Gameplay is much fun and overall chaos at same time. Kane should live again with his new remastered cutscene. This game is made by Petroglyph, a former Westwood Studios that close down since General have been release as who is known for made Star Wars Empire at Wars. I am the fan of Mammoth Tank, as well as every Mammoth-type vehicle like Mammoth MK.2, Overload Tank and Mastodon (and Prism tank & Angry mob which these are OP unit in C&C ever).

Although the game is well funny gameplay, but there are no waypoint unlike RA2 or General (despite have right-click that introduction since General). As well as Technician is the worst C&C unit ever (after Limpet drone and Brute) in my view.

Also, My Commander Mode (and Tsundere) is back!

Score: 9.9/10

Probably the best story that I have see.

About this game
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2060698953

Marco & The Galaxy Dragon is story about the protagonist name 'Marco' (real name: Play this game if you would like to know more). She is treasure hunter who was abducted when she was 6 year old. She want to find the her precious treasure is her mother. She have 'Arco', a.k.a. Galaxy Dragon who promised to eat Marco when she is most delicious. Haqua, a daughter of person who want to conquest the world. Gargouille (I give her nickname 'Gal' like her planet), a girl from destroyed planet who promised to kill Haqua's father after her planet was destroy. After steal a lizard stone from the bad guys, their next location is Marco's birthplace called 'Earth'. There, she meet 'Ruri' (real name: Unknown), she is part-time on soba restaurant and become a best friend. I gonna stop at this story, if you want to know more... please play this game.

Cartoon animation and Pop Culture Reference
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2055469193

First thing that I like about this visual novel have cartoon animation cutscenes, especially with the music. The cartoon is kind funny and laugh at same time, and I like the art-style. Some cutscene have show some reference to pop culture such as one is reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Gameplay, Story, Character, Music and Other
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2059662966

Gameplay:
Although the entire game is purely visual novel, but the game have include two minigame within the game were first one is were Marco have to duel with Gal, and second one is spaceship shooting game were Marco have to shoot enemy ship before the boss. I hope if they have made these minigame separated from one in the story that will be nice.

Story:
I like the story especially a cartoon animation, there is also a violence, blood and gore despite these alien's blood are green (although there are red blood like one in Marco, Arco, Gal and Ruri). The story is also impact to my heart, feel like I want to cried even I don't want to cried anyways especially a suitable music.

Character:
I have two character that I like are Haqua and Kurosaki, both are cool and deadly despite Sakurako (and Rakka) is more deadly. Both character also have same hair style.

Music:
The music were nice especially Denderaryuba that feel like I gonna lost the important friend from this world. As well as keep me fight to the unfair thing and never give up.

Other:
I don't know if there are other thing that I like, but I have one thing that I don't like is the story is too linear and almost no choice at all although there are one choice in this visual novel, but it's not impact to the story overall. It should be good if the game have given a choice to decided Marco's fate whatever if she is eat by Arco or not.

I think there are some scene were framerate is drop when a character is surprised, but I don't mind on that problem.

How this story reflect to me?
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2059664103

Well. I find out about the story is almost reflect to me were one story about Marco and Ruri is fight against the mutant (a.k.a. Calendar head) who called themselves 'The Love' who only enjoy with love and happy. You will spot the Mutant if you have bad memory such as hate and unhappy. The second story were Marco have lost the best friend.

Overall
I think this is best visual story that I like and I have feel to Marco when watching these CGs. The story, character, music, animation, and art-style were good. The story is also laugh and tears at same time as this game said. A little minigame and pop culture reference were funny. Although have little drawback in the story, but it's fine for have watching this story.

I have give this game review score higher than Date A Live and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order because of good story, the animation and how I feel in the story.
