    Japanese video games are often equal to anime and manga, it doesn’t matter in what format you’re enjoying the stories. The Caligula Effect: Overdose, too, makes you forget you’re playing a game but rather, experiencing a piece of Japanese popular culture.

    The Caligula Effect Overdose is a good example of what a « plus » version should be. More characters, more storylines, more side quests, it totally justifies the "Overdose" suffix in its name.

Music is one of the main points of the game, and the sung part only comes in during fights, which can also tire quickly. The PlayStation 5 edition greatly improved the quality of the characters and scenarios, but it is possible to notice that we do not have a game of that generation, but an adaptation. If you're looking for an adventure, give it a go, although the lack of English subtitles can be an issue – but that's easily circumvented. Full Review »

    Enjoyed every second. A nice mix of Persona and Blue Reflection. Played on ps4 and again on switch.
