Apr 8, 2025Clearly inspired by VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action and Emily is Away, S4U: CITYPUNK 2011 AND LOVE PUNCH manages to stand out by working its gameplay almost entirely in first person in its own way, offering a solid and charming adventure. Its greatest merit, however, is the sensitivity with which it manages to work its own narrative and foster a very important feeling for the maintenance of relationships between human beings: empathy.

Jan 17, 2025If the premise sounds fascinating enough to you that you want to muddle through it? I don’t blame you. I don’t hate the time I spent trying to muddle through it, and in contrast to a lot of visual novels which I feel lean far too heavily on the “novel” part it felt like a fun game to play from start to finish. Just be aware that as it stands now, you’re going to have a rough time with the localization.
