I did not read the Book, nor did I watch the movie - there is one, right? Even though there is a copy of the book at home and even though I used to love to read these super thick history books. Not so sure if I still do. Anyway, never did. So I didn't really know what the story was about. Apart from the Cathedral obv. Still, when it was published I decided I wanted it - even though it's a Daedalic work aaaaaaaaand I don't really like them anymore. Shocking, I know!
First thing first: This is not some ridiculous P&C game. You don't have to combine stupid and apparently senseless things with each other to accomplish something. In fact you rarely have items to use. Instead it's mostly a VN, if you ask me. And what ever you do, it will have consequences. Ppl will judge you by your actions, the story will - most likely - evolve differently. I didn't really test it that much though. But characters can die, while in a different approach they'll stay alive. Somehow I doubt the Cathedral will not be build, if you fail though…
The Art was very beautiful and the music pleasant. The characters were well written - can't say that much about the voice acting, bc I played it in German, since it's German production. I had better vocals in games, but it's ok I guess.
And the story? Yep, it totally got me. In the first book (the games is divided into three books and… er, some chapters) I thought I might wanna read the book after all. In the second book I was still totally into it… just to be annoyed by the end and the beginning of the last book. It worked out in the end, but it somehow felt like: "Jesus, we gotta get it all together!" So yeah, the last lacked a bit imho.
Achievements were a bit… troublesome, since I didn't keep saves to start with. So I had to replay the first book entirely (tip: Keep maybe a save per chapter?).
Big thanks to ernesttico who played the game at the same time and talked with me about it and offered help for the achievements <3
Hidden LEWD rating: Eh, maybe? There was a sexscene, but we never really saw it. Plus one of the guys… oh, wait.
Gay-ship: Not really, but one of the guys hinted stuff like: I'd totally do him… if I was into guys…
Recommendation? Yes

On of the genres my aunt introduced me too and I still like it. Time management, progressing story, different lvl and equipping a place - sadly I can't choose between different things. Like colour or style. But that's ok. I was very hooked and was tempted to just keep on playing (yeah, I know, one should go at some point to bed…).
It had a very sad touch to it and we had to overcome some emotional conflict. On the romantic front some things happened, I didn't expect, but that's good, right? Games, which surprise us, are a good thing!
I totally added the second game to my wl and maaaaaaybe I should try to get more games like these I guess.
No hidden LEWDness nor gay-ship included
Recommendation? If you're into these games, yes indeed!

While this game seems cute enough at first glance, it's actually very sad. So we play a gay girl and in every route she dates a girl and eventually have her "happy ever after". Only… it's not that happy. Bc whatever happens, her parents never ever accept her that way. And here is the super sad part about the story. They tell us how love is the most important and she is or will (probably) be happy, bc she has the love of her life and she moves out in almost every version. Bc she is not accepted at home. So yeah. Screw the light-hearted story - it's not. It's sad. It's about being bullied bc one is different and loves the same gender. Yes, there is love in it and how the two will stick together and be the family they need, but… yeah, the but.
Nin sad.
Hidden LEWD rating: A bit maybe. Girls smooching xD
Gay-ship: Can't say which I liked best rly.
Recommendation? Yeah, I guess

Not sure if I should have played them in order, but steam said I should play it, so I did. Contrary to my latest issues whit Alawar this one worked out nicely. I played it in eng without any troubles getting there. The riddles and HOS were nice enough and the story was decent - although I don't get where the MC came from and how she not in the slightest doubted her "new family" or anything. Weird. And how she is the last (?) I don't get either, bc the boy clearly is younger than her. Oh my. Guess I have to play more of the series.
No LEWDness nor gay-ship included
Recommendation? Yes

We're out to create an Anime. Good start, right? While there is no romance involved - shocking! - we get to choose what kind of Anime we're making. Also when what happens and how we manage the whole thing, which results in the success or failure of the Anime.
It's actually pretty easy to fail. Stress was the most reason it didn't work out for my team, closely followed by not enough money. But if that all works out, you have an Anime! The routes were mostly the same, only slight alterations bc of the difference in the Anime stories, but that makes sense.
OMG! These faces freaked me out! The moment they were happy or very much not happy, their mouths were awkwardly open. I kinda wish they didn't look like that. Super creepy.
But yeah, nice enough VN. I liked the story how a group of teenagers succeeded with their dream \o/
No LEWDness nor gay-ship included
Recommendation? Yeah

Death of the Outsider might actually be my favourite game of the series. Bc it finally explains things! Also I felt more comfortable with the game play. While we did get to choose the endings for the other games as well - influenced by the way we played as far as I remember - this time it meant way more to me somehow.
I very much enjoyed robbing the bank without setting off alarms or tempering with the alarms. That was a pretty cool thing imho. Super annoying though was the intense music in that scene. It was like any moment somebody would jump at you. Totally on high alert the whole time. Which makes sense I guess, bc robbing a bank, but my nerves were not too happy about it :D
Toughest was the last chapter, which makes sense. Bc progressing the story one should probably be in the last chapter at ones best in the game. Weirdly enough one gets spammed with Bonecharms, so I constantly had to check if I wanted to use any. First way through I just ignored them at some point bc too much input. Second I tried having a quick glance, bc I got way less - mostly bc I avoided more ppl. But yeah, that worked out. Although these stone creatures crept me out. Still do.
Side note: At some point I didn't even need my wristbands anymore. Which was very pleasant.
I somehow forget the rest I wanted to say. Which is ok. Review end!
Hidden LEWD rating: nope
Gayship: Not really, although Billie constantly talks about Deirdre thinking
Recommendation? Yes, but play the others first. I still feel like I missed things, but I guess that's bc I didn't have DLCs.

This game is about a teenage girl who is ~obsessed~ in love with a virtual idol. Aka a robot. Or more like an android. Said android reaches out by pure luck to said girl, when it is about to have a breakdown and asks for help. On we go, to save a robot! On the way the girl makes friends - bc she never before had friends, but all of a sudden it's super easy for her to make friends and everybody just loves her, which apparently is new (same aged ppl can be jerks after all) - does illegal stuff and is in love with her robot.
It was a cute enough VN all in all. I didn't realize though that 5 of 7 cheevos only pop AFTER the credits rolled. So first time round I simply quit the whole thing. Second time I was skipping and all of a sudden I had more scenes incoming. Mindblown! O.O
Hidden LEWD rating: Half naked men - no nipples though - and a naked female - also no nipples. Didn't really feel lewd though :]
Gay-ship: Ok, this was a thing. Almost every person the girl met and was interested in, was another girl - or boys who feel more comfy in girls clothes. So yeah, loads of lesbian feels.
Recommendation? Sure, y not?

Since I didn't manage to play the first Deus Ex, I felt like I missed out on a few story things. But that's ok, it still worked and I think it was still pretty good. At first I was rather annoyed for having to walk around that much - add the stupid loading screens which transported me EVERY time to the desktop, just to switch back to the game and load - but at some point I didn't mind that much anymore. Yes, it was still stupid, bu the game was good enough to not really mind. I had one very big problem at around 3/5 of the game. Maybe even closer to the end: I was constantly out of ammo, bc I couldn't find a way too effectively kill off the big Templar guys. In the end I found a way, but still, lots of ammo D:
So at some point I was screwed. I had tons of enemies ahead. I just somehow hid inside a ventilation shaft and… they killed each other off? Still unclear why they did that, but it was good enough I guess. Ok, so you'd think all clear and you will just find ammo right? Bc there is this big stupid robot in the next room and you have nothing to beat him. So what to do? I skilled to take over machines and stuff and thought about sending him off as far as I could - which wasn't far enough for my purpose. So I… well, shot the ground. And did that again. And uuuuupsi, did I just make the robot kill itself? Guess that works as well xD
Biggest problem all through the game though: Who to side with? Honestly, I still haven't figured out what would have been the best course and yes, I do remember having the same problem with Human Revolution. At some point I just didn't know anymore who to trust, what to do and who were actually the good guys. It all just blurred. So I just went on and did the first thing… well, which I did. Was maybe not the smartest move, maybe not the easiest or most comfortable, but we got an ending! And my, did she shine! \o/
No hidden LEWDness nor gay-ship included - well, maybe, but… no, not really
Recommendation? Yes
