Mato Anomalies Digital Deluxe Edition

Loving the sound design, character design, art style & the use of color. The gameplay is straightforward enough, so very easy to pick up. Definitely recommend.

This game is allergic to resolution. It never properly explains anything in order to stay mysterious, yet it only makes the story muddled and confusing. However, I did enjoy the rest of the game, and it's a solid turn-based RPG. I just wish the story didn't fall on its face quite so much.

This game is unique and places its own take on the RPG genre. This would be a perfect game for you to start with if you want to experience turn-based rpgs, and for the more experienced it still has enough to even keep you happy.

This is the epitome of a 6/10 game - it has moments of inventiveness, but it's a poorly-told story that gets stretched further than necessary. It's an interesting world, but the writing is subpar. I wanted to like it more than I did, but I'm having to force myself to finish it at the 35 hour mark, and I'm not really having a great time. I hate giving a poor-mid review to a game where genuine effort was clearly made, but this game is deeply flawed.

It's no more wordy than the average JRPG, so I don't know why it's called a visual novel. This is like a PS2 or Vita JRPG: I mean that in the best possible way. Play it if you like weird turnbased games. And hey, no one gets imprisoned and loses all their gear, so it's not your average tropey JRPG either.
