    I'm loving this game. Beautiful art, good music, all the guys are super hot and all are wonderful characters. The common route is kinda long (10 hours) but it's worth it as it's a whole story in itself. Plenty of romance in the character routes as well as in the common route. I'm genuinely looking forward to the next two games in the series to spend more time with these guys. There's theI'm loving this game. Beautiful art, good music, all the guys are super hot and all are wonderful characters. The common route is kinda long (10 hours) but it's worth it as it's a whole story in itself. Plenty of romance in the character routes as well as in the common route. I'm genuinely looking forward to the next two games in the series to spend more time with these guys. There's the usual tropes: flirt, cold/stoic, uwu boy, mysterious white haired guy. I personally always like the flirty guys, and fortunately there's two here, as both lupin and impey are wonderful. The overarching story is pretty interesting and it's woven through the routes pretty well. I thought the premise of the mc being unable to touch people would hinder the romance, but fortunately that wasn't the case at all. I'm having an absolute blast with this game, and had a huge smile at parts, and some parts really pull at your heart. My only complaints keeping this from being a perfect 10/10 is perhaps that the common route is a bit too long, some of the glossary entries seem entirely unnecessary (who doesn't know what an automobile is?), and the character portraits are static (not animated like I've seen in some games). All in all this is a game I'm going to treasure for a long time.… Expand

    I didn’t like this game at first. The story is a bit silly and the common route was too long, but I started enjoying the game once I got through it. The LI routes are fun and so well written. I didn’t feel the roller coaster of emotions that I was supposed to (except for Saint-German route which was dark and pretty intense), but I still felt compelled to play it until the very end.

    Code:Realize Guardian of Rebirth is full of beautiful set pieces and fantastic characters. The writing paired with the extremely impressive visual style will give any visual novel fan an immersive fantasy experience. It helps that the adventure is filled with great writing for the large cast of public domain characters as the fuel for the entire story.

    Visual novels may not be everyone's favourite genre but Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ on the Nintendo Switch does a lot to overcome that. Thanks to a very involving plot, a well defined gameplay structure, and a lovely art style and soundtrack, as well as a very good performance whether on a large screen or on the Nintendo Switch itself, this is a work that has absolutely earned the right to the attention of players, whether they are fans of visual novels or not.

    Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~is the best otome game you can play on Nintendo Switch and one of the better visual novels available on Nintendo's hybrid system.
