I played three different Fate games last year and was pleasantly to have CCC end up as not just my favorite game of the bunch, but one of my favorite RPGs of all time.
A lot of Fate spinoffs try to downplay or deny the eroge elements of the original game, but CCC refreshingly leans into it by asking, what if we made a game all about sex and desire, and very specifically about women's feelings about sex and desire. If you play this game as the girl protagonist (you should) it's a beautiful lesbian romp, moreso because the game is pretty deft about shifting between its sex comedy and character drama modes. Everybody in this game is a weird pervert but nobody is left on the floor as simply comic relief. You're invited to laugh at their antics but also to understand where they're coming from. You WILL get sad about the emotional problems of the big titty Sakura clone. Hell, you might even get sad about Shinji.
Speaking of, the game makes great use of recontextualizing its cast both as characters you originally saw in Fate/Extra and as characters who are retellings of the original Fate/Stay Night cast. Stay Night's themes of instrumentalization, repression and love are excellently reprised, especially in the character of Sakura, who serves as the heart of the story and the element that really makes CCC special. Once again, play as a girl! You owe it to yourself to experience gay Sakura.
"But Olivia, isn't the combat bad?" Just use save states if it really bothers you that bad. I know you all played Baldur's Gate 3 last year it's not worse than THAT.
