    The environments are detailed and beautiful, replete with pops of colour. Unfortunately, navigating them through a haze of lag destroys your enjoyment quite quickly. Pathways are dotted with doors, and the slightest glance in their direction pops you into places that you don’t want to be.

    The groundhog day style repeating story was so promising and yet it has been produced in such a terrible fashion. There are plenty of good elements to the dungeon crawling, yet the levels themselves are dull and frustrating. A big disappointment.

    Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time is truly a terrible video game. There are signs of mediocrity between the seams, but it operates on such a fundamentally flawed level that it turns into a wrestling match between my sanity and its systems. I don’t know if it runs noticeably better on a PS4 Pro or the PC version, but an increase in technical performance does not excuse it of all the flaws in its design. I consider myself a fan of Little Witch Academia and Chamber of Time sometimes made me wish that I wasn’t.

    True to the anime with it colourful casting of characters, Little Witch Acamedia : Chamber of Time is never convincing when it comes to its gameplay. Repetitive and poorly designed, the game is quickly boring and frustrating.

    A good premise that just doesn’t match up to it’s execution, much like one of Akko’s spells.

    A disappointment. You can see the brilliance of its world, characters and heart shining through like a star. You can even see the skeleton of a genuinely deep RPG title. But the game fights your efforts to enjoy yourself at every opportunity, be it via bad design choices, repetitious gameplay or infuriating technical problems.

I know this game is not perfect but as a fan of the anime, this is a good start for what's to come.

    And please don't trust the negative user scores. Either they didn't played the game and they just wanted to bash a game that isn't Naruto, Dragonball or SAO, or they are just pissed off that tgis game has a higher metacritic score than Seven Deadly Sins Knights of Britannia. Seriously, guys. Not EVERY anime game needs to be a musou or arena fighter.    … Full Review »

It's boringMy favorite anime is LWA, and I had a lot of hype for the game, although I liked the game, it must be said that it falls short. It's boring and the game play is simple, it's just throwing glitter, apart from the fact that the movement is clumsy, the good thing about the game is the graphics and the soundtrack, at those points it doesn't disappoint at all, but otherwise it's very bad worked, and that the game only lasts more or less 2 and a half hours
    The presentation videos are simple and could have been made better and in itself, the game does not give much of itself, therefore I consider it mediocre    … Full Review »
