I’m now very close to the end. The plot thickens any chapter. If you watched the anime, you will want to play these voice-acted. The console version was like that and 07th-Mod provides you this. It’s much better than the MangaGamer version. Grab your snacks and get ready to be excited. (It’s kinda hard writing a review for Higurashi without spoilers)

Very fun sandbox physics game and it can get really creative. You can download other people’s machines and that part is also fun. I was kinda frustrated at some level and downloaded some guy’s machine. That machine did everything automatically and analyzing it gave me quite the insight. If you like building things freely, you can make really stupid machines and still get the job done. :)

There are some improvements over the first game. If you liked the first, you’ll like this as well.

I really feel like these are might be the worst in Sakura titles. This chapter wasn’t even a filler, the “story” doesn’t go anywhere. It’s not even sarcastically fun.

This chapter was kinda okay, it had some fun moments. But still…

This is where the Stronghold games started to go downhill. It has really great castle sim ideas but those butchered down the RTS part of the game. It’s too clunky, sometimes it can be brutal on tutorial-like missions. If you can hardly beat a tutorial mission, there is obviously something wrong. I bailed the story missions at half and played a couple skirmish matches. It was more frustrating than being fun. It’s also too buggy despite being a remaster.

I almost didn’t see any differences from L4D2 (I played it like 12 years ago). Everything is the same, the levels, characters etc. I guess the only difference is the gameplay. Since I’ve seen enough from the second game, I only played this for 2 hours and no need to play more. I’m also not fond of these kind of games.
