    If you’re ultra-paranoid about typos Piofiore is an offer you’ll have to refuse - but if you can push past that, it will be an emotional roller coaster.

    Piofiore: Fated Memories is a game that drips in style and premise, but unfortunately doesn’t really know what to do with it, so it ends up making base appeals to those who like dark, edgy, and more morally questionable entertainment. If you liked the developer’s most recent western releases, you’d be disappointed with the lack of plot in this mafia narrative, but if you were more into Amnesia, this might be right up your alley.

    Piofiore is a solid and enjoyable romance story, but one that falls a little short from some of the better Otomate productions out there. One thing that does set it apart though are its bleak story paths. There's torture, murder, rape. Things get awfully dark, much more so than the majority of these types of titles, and for those who enjoy such experiences, it certainly delivers. Stay with Cubed3, as it will soon be looking at more Otomate games coming to Switch.

    Too bad for the Finale route, or else this game would have been perfect! This game is filled with nice exquisite little details.

    Best otome on switch so far. It has some flaws, but in general all routes are pretty good and full of emotion. It is easy to fall in love evenBest otome on switch so far. It has some flaws, but in general all routes are pretty good and full of emotion. It is easy to fall in love even with the darkest characters. Yes, it is a bit dark… it is about mafia, so don’t expect a Disney story. It has themes such as violence, torture and human trafficking. If you are overly sensitive or conservative, this game is definitely not for you.… Full Review »

That's pretty much my opinion on Piofiore. The art and music are absolutely beautiful, the latin sprinkled throughout is quite nice as well, and all of the characters are attractive. And that's unfortunately where my glowing praise stops. The game is a bit shorter than I was expecting (at around 7 hours per route), and each of the guys in turn disappointed. There was very little romance to be found, and most of the guys ended up fairly unappealing, or very misleading. Dante was cold up until the last chapter, and half his route was with another guy entirely. Yang had some nice scenes sprinkled throughout, but the route expects you to pick disinterested answers, which left me feeling a bit conflicted, and some scenes were honestly quite uhh... horrifying. Nicola was a bait&switch, he seemed alright at first and got worse as the game went on. The focus was definitely more on the mafia story, rather than any thrilling romance which I had hoped for. Judging the mafia story on it's own merits, it's actually pretty alright. There was some fun plot twists, and there's lots of cool badass action scenes. If you're going to pick this up, get it for the art, music, and fun mafia story. Not for romance or for an otome. One other nitpick: there was a weird obsession with food. Pretty much a good 50% of the game involved the mc sitting around a mafia base talking about food. If these scenes were replaced with romance, I think all of my complaints with the game would've been resolved.… Full Review »
