Sushi Ben

This is a game that requires you to have the right mindset to enjoy it. For starters. I'm playing this on PC - not in VR. It seems pretty abundantly clear that it was meant to be played in VR though, the game reminds you at every opportunity in an indirect way. Playing it without VR isn't bad, you can just tell when the game had VR in mind for certain tasks. Now that that's out of the way. If you go into this game with a non-serious mindset, and you're willing to have fun with a mess of a game held together with duct tape and dreams? Bring a friend or stream it to them. You'll laugh harder, and the shortcomings become highlights. If you go into this with any kind of serious outlook, whatsoever, then you're going to have a bad time.

I followed this game when it was first announced and it looked way more exciting than it actually is. This feels like they had a vague idea of what they wanted to do, then lost motivation or something to actually do anything with it. There's not much to gameplay, a simple fishing minigame (you cannot keep any of the fish you catch unless it's for a specific quest, and if you hook the wrong fish, you have to wait for a timer to run out, there's no "stop fishing" button) and a bunch of fetch quests are the lion's share of the gameplay loop. You unlock a few other tools later but none are particularly interesting or fun. You can catch bugs with a bug net that you cannot do anything with. Same with a jar for ghosts. The music is nice, pleasant, fits the setting, and the graphics are sorta interesting, though most of the world is boring and empty. Voices (I played in Japanese, English voices were much worse) are alright. Pretty standard, I suppose. The game is BUGGY. There's tons of geometry you can just walk or fall through, various npc animals will occasionally just fly through buildings, and I stopped playing when I got softlocked after a cutscene that played when I was fishing. On …

great game especially on VR, didn't really try the to play it flat screen

very silly and fun! i enjoyed the story and all the small minigames in between! it felt like playing through a manga! even though the game is made for vr, i had a lot of fun playing it on pc! i really recommend this game if you enjoy interactive stories!

Sushi Ben is a super fun and very exciting "anime/manga" style game (as I call it)! The characters are all very unique and the voice acting in Japanese is AMAZING! I loved the story and I was always itching to hop back in and push further along each time I signed off. The activities and side missions are all fun, clever, and excellent for VR! lots of things to do with your hands and lots of tools to use. Also, whenever your not "in the action" the dialog moments are broken up with the COOLEST anime/mange style boxes that show expression or emphasize certain things! Never seen that in a game before and I absolutely enjoyed the characters talking as much as I enjoyed any other part of the game, and that's a great feat to pull off! It's probably my FAVORITE part of the game! If you're looking for an entertaining single player story driven adventure, LOOK NO FURTHER! I highly recommend this one!!

The game is so incredibly charming and beautiful to look at. There are some small things I haven't liked, like a lot of backtracking or some bugs? Nothing dealbreaking but still an amazing game.
