Age of Advent is a collection of 4 minigames based on the characters of the new Hololive EN generation - Advent.
Shiori's Archival Survival is definitely the most interesting of the games here, being a striking attempt to introduce a scoring-based "arcade" gameplay loop into survival horror. I also like the restraint shown in focusing the horror aspect around atmosphere and rising dread instead of cheap jumpscares.
Nerissa's cooking minigame is the most fun to play of the four, the combination of necrodancer-movement and the famous Snake game format makes for a pretty simple, kinda addictive little game. The only problem is that there's no ramping up of challenge over time, the only threat to the player is the possibility of bombs randomly deciding to spawn unreactably right in front of you.
We're aBAU BAU't to Crash is a cute idea - an endless runner kinda game where you have to control two characters at once, but it doesn't really work in practice since you can just intentionally kill off one of the doggos and then only have to focus on one part of the screen with no real punishment. Probably more fun if you play it multiplayer I guess.
And I don't have much to say about Bijou's puzzle minigame. Block puzzle games aren't really my thing and I'll happily admit that I'm terrible at them. It's ok though.
