[h1]Omusubi | Review in English and Italian[/h1] [h1]-------------------------------[/h1] [h2][i]English Review[/i][/h2] [h3]Pros:[/h3] - Adorable graphics to look at, rich and filled with details (also, extremely fluffy!!!) - Animated bits are well done - The soundtrack in this is extremely evocative - The way savepoints are contextualized - The female characters are amazing, their will and inner strength being almost astounding, from little Sanae to Hinako herself (also, how good is it to see a chubby character being perfectly normalized as such?) - The amount of references to Japanese culture and beliefs, deeply ingrained in the entire story - Issa being a womanizer works well enough in its comical streak - Gameplay is simple, but never boring - Atmosphere works well enough between cartoony, fluff, comical, extremely moving, and overall CREEPINESS (those lumps of flesh... Jeez, I was white as a sheet) - The message itself is well developed [h3]Cons:[/h3] - It's so easy to heal, in so many different ways, that losing lives really loses any tension, after a while (also, many healing items could easily be removed, and nothing would change at all) - The Celestial Being is wonder…

What do you want me to say? Go and BUY IT NOW. 100% worth it.

A BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE. Quite frankly, the fact I didn't learn about this game sooner and had to learn through an hour of digging for something interesting to play is a pure tragedy and a disservice to the beauty this game holds. First and foremost: The characters. The protagonist? She's a cutie pie. More than that, she's canonically chubby, and the game never at any point makes it a joke or something to mock aside from one time she tries to discourage herself... only for the other person involved to comment that she's beautiful. Because of the fact she's chubby, the game never actually allows you to sprint unless the scene requires it, which is such a little thing, but something I thought was really adorable and made the experience all the more realistic. The second main character, Issa, is so charming and every interesting with him leaves you wanting more. You become so attached to him. These two are such an endearing duo that you just want to see them succeed and be happy. Second: The music. IT GOES HARD. IT GOES INSANE-O STYLE. IT'S ABSOLUTELY PEAK. There were some moments I just sat there for five minutes bopping my head because the music was so amazing and went hard…

very good game overall. theres a few tiny sprite bugs and a small handful grammar issues with the text but otherwise amazing.

what a lovely game...i haven't completed all the endings yet, i liked it enough that i will eventually. i ended up being invested in their story, very sweet to me. i loved the visuals!!!! my one SERIOUS suggestion is -- do not rush through your experience of this game. if you rush, it wont be an enjoyable experience at all.

Absolutely wonderful RPG Maker game with stunning visuals and that classic feel that made me love them in the first place. It is a "walking" game with some puzzle bits, but the story is definitely worth it. There are quite a few of optional interactions between characters as well, so the game has good replayability even if not for the sake of experiencing the story again. Fighting sequences are the only annoying part of the game, but to me that's a bit of par the course - these games are not played for the one or two fighting sequences after all, so it's just something to grit your teeth through for a few minutes.
