The most mindblowing fictional experience of my life
2016
Perfect if you love reading your protagonist going around harassing other people, the scene where he bullies a guy over how he used to be fat and gets him to confess information by dangling food over him was when I had enough.
Incredible common route bogged down by the useless addition of heroine routes, which feel like an afterthought
2001
Jun Maeda's masterpiece, a huge improvement in every way over his work in Kanon and ONE. This is Maeda finding himself, essentially.
Skip the side heroine routes, or keep expectations low if you feel the need that you absolutely must read them, because they're REALLY bad

Basically perfect if you ignore Jun Maeda's routes (Makoto and Mai) and focus entirely on Naoki Hisaya's routes (Shiroi, Nayuki, and Ayu), as it suffers from the typical Key problem of routes from different writers having an entirely different vibe. Maeda's stuff just seems over the top and out of place, compared to Hisaya's more realistic stuff. Of course, they all have magical elements like a typical key game, but Hisaya hits a sweet spot and I think this is his masterpiece.

Have never cheesed a final boss so hard
I bought an PSP as a child and this was pretty much the only game I ever played on it
Impressive how well the second game does at wrapping up the incredibly, almost non existent story of the original and fleshing it out. I actually cared for a few of the characters, despite dialogue being very minimalistic.
Only gripe with the games is the lack of a minimap, which makes exploring the dungeons incredibly frustrating without a guide, as they're super easy to get lost in, especially the lava level.
Also recommend watching the OVAs, they're nice companion pieces that also flesh out the story a lot.

I've been obsessed with this series since I was 13, starting with the anime, then MangaGamer's original translation, then waiting on the slow releases of the re-translations. Heck, I even had Daybreak on PSP, a fighting game that features Higurashi's main cast, and it was dope as hell.
Literally no complaints, i've even come to love the flaws and think it's part of the doujin charm. I love the lore of the village, every single character, everything is just so fleshed out like nothing else I've seen. Hinamazawa feels like a living, breathing wolrd. I could feel the cold air conditioning in Ooishi's car, the hair raising chilliness of the shrine..just chef's kiss Splended use of sound direction The way Ryukishi utilizes the Key formula in the first half of the game except replacing the romance aspects with more denpa-ish aspects, is just...it works so well.
Of course, things change rapidly in Kai, the horror takes more of a backseat in favor of Ryukishi's worldview, which some may find cheesy and overly shounen-esque, but I honestly love it.
Ignoring my raving and how I personally love everything about it, some things people find flaws in the game is Ryukishi's nature to constantly repeat himself/hammer a single theme in to the point of redundancy, which is valid but like...he does it far worse in Umineko, he's definitely getting worse at it as he gets older, if Ciconia is anything to go by.
Anyway, 10/10 Please read

Do you ever think about how this series is almost as old as Ys? Even older if you include title like Little Princess, which become part of the canon later. Wild.
The girl on the cover doesn't show up until the sixth game, which game out over a decade later. Anyway, the game isn't very good for gameplay, but the story is humorous and introduces some of the most important characters.

Great game, slightly diminished by the terrible quality of the dubbing, which is a bit of a shame since it completely ruins a bunch of dramatic moments.
