    A wonderful story, great script and nice crisp graphics that is unfortunately plagued with severe bugs and crashes. This really needed a better port and more time to iron out all the issues.

    I never thought I would like a game like this, but the music enticing visuals and beautiful art really drew me in..Unlike similar jrpg , social sims Blue Reflections is paced really well..There isn't 2 hrs of reading or cut scenes to 15 mind of game play, interactions are meaningful and brief. There also clear and present tactics in the combat, so you will do more than press attack in aI never thought I would like a game like this, but the music enticing visuals and beautiful art really drew me in..Unlike similar jrpg , social sims Blue Reflections is paced really well..There isn't 2 hrs of reading or cut scenes to 15 mind of game play, interactions are meaningful and brief.

    PC optimization are horrible, the few cutscenes game have are pixelated. I only made it work at somewhat stable 30-35 fps with it's graphics and spend some time in Nvidia app to make it work a little better. I completed Yakuza Like a Dragon with stable 40 fps, and it's a 2020 game... I love GUST, but shame on you with your POOR PC ports.

    Conclusion from my larger, full review:

    Blue Reflection is the most heart I've seen from a video game. It's gorgeous in every way a video game can be and deeply personally impacted me. The combat was engaging and fun, the characters were a joy to meet and grow with, the world was awe-inspiring to explore, and the OST melted my heart while I listened.

The combat was engaging and fun, the characters were a joy to meet and grow with, the world was awe-inspiring to explore, and the OST melted my heart while I listened. If it at all looks interesting to you (if you're a fan of slice-of-life anime, Sailor Moon, emotional experiences in games, turn-based JRPGS, etc.), I strongly recommend giving it a try. This game doesn't deserve to fall on deaf ears for no reason other than because no one was willing to listen.

    I can safely say after playing it to 100% completion that its solidified itself as not only a great JRPG and not only as a deeply emotional experience, but also as a close contender for my favorite video game and a modern masterpiece.    … Expand

    Blue Reflection is one of the few times where I would say that it would work better as an anime rather than a game. It has a lot of good ideas and systems at work but sadly none of them are fully developed and poor performance ruins the experience.

    Blue Reflection is an excellent release in both design and execution. The title, and what it means, run along the story and plays a prominent role in nearly every aspect. Not unlike the Persona series, this is not an RPG where your main focus is nonstop battle. Unlike that series, however, there aren’t deadlines about which you must worry. For a JRPG that balances its combat with school life and befriending classmates, while providing a relaxing time, look no further.

    Despite these qualms, those who are fans of Gust’s library will love what Blue Reflection offers. It's clear the developers had a lot of fun experimenting with this game, and one can hope this inventiveness will extend to their future catalog.
