    I'm just outright pissed off at this game. It's expensive too. I've played 45 minutes and already counting my losses.

    Don't get me wrong here, anime girls are great but when the characters look like 12 year olds and sound even younger, it is not great. Almost every scene the camera starts at the ass, legs, or **** It is a school setting but these don't look like college girls. They

    Almost every scene the camera starts at the ass, legs, or **** It is a school setting but these don't look like college girls. They look like children just out of primary school but with big ****.

    I am currently playing Sakura Wars on my PS4 and that has fanservice overload but it is legal at least. They all look like page 3/glamour model sort of age. Blue Reflection is cartoon paedophilia. Who the **** is seeing these games and saying yeah this is good, sexualising minors and then publishing it. Well I'm pretty sure if I check the game case I will find out and I won't be buying any of their **** ever again.

    I am not some prude that doesn't like sex, or porn, or even hentai. I just really don't like that they have done it with characters that if converted from digiworld in to real people, would be 12 years old at best.

    Looking past this paedo **** the story was a straight up Persona 5 copy. App appears on phone, can't delete, transport to new world because of app. For the record Persona is hugely over rated too.

    Shame because the OST and colour pallette seemed quite nice.

    I just bought 7 games this and Caligula 2 for Switch, Trails of Cold Steel, Sakura Wars and Kena for PS4, Xenoblade X for WiiU and FE Awakening for 3DS and barring one that I haven't played yet (ToCS), this is the worst. Like the others are all good. Some outright masterpieces, so there is a list of random alternatives that are all better choices. You're welcome.

    Blue Reflection: Second Light is a JRPG that brings us a very interesting experience and theme, as well as an addictive combat system, exquisite soundtrack and a captivating plot. Second Light is a very recommended work to fans of JRPGs who enjoy building bonds between characters and going into their plots to find out more and more, which makes this game a welcome arrival on the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

    If you enjoy cozy games, Second Light is a no-brainer to recommend; just don't go into it expecting anything demanding or super innovative. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 73]

    Within its limitations that are typical to Gust games, Second Light shows a care of the developers to create the most pleasant title possible. It’s a game that can be considered good or even great in all of it’s aspects, however it doesn’t contain an aspect to call it excellent. It is certainly a memorable experience due to its battle system and the casual conversations with each character in this summer vacation adventure and one that I recommend to those that are already familiar with Gust output.
