This is a simple thread. Recommend a game you recently played/finished. Give a description and, if you want, your rating of the game.
To start us off, I'll recommend Fortune Summoners. It's a metroidvania (Though without a map, which can be quite annoying) in which you control 1 of 3 lolis. The controls are very funky and require quite a bit of time to get used to, but about 1/3 into the game you've mastered them and you'll begin enjoying them.
Each loli has a different control scheme and spells/abilities, with the sword loli being the most complex - and honestly the most effective.
Enemy A.I. can be very annoying. Think of Shadow Link in Zelda 2. That's pretty much every enemy, if you ask me. The game can be very frustrating as a whole, but I think it's a healthy amount of frustration that keeps your wits sharp, kind of like a danmaku, I suppose.

The only censorship in the game iirc is in a hot springs CG where, in the Japanese version, the girls are not wearing any clothing (although any private parts are submerged in water) whereas in the English version, the girls are wearing clothes.
It's a very slight change, but still censorship nonetheless. As the first anon said, don't buy it unless it's on a heavy discount. Definitely worth a pirate, though.

Not sure about Duo Princess, but I know that the main developer worked on a small freeware game where you play as a loli chasing rabbits and playing dress-up. Besides that, it was localized by the same folks behind Chantelise and Recettear.

I don't play weebshit, that was my first real experience with things like that, and it was wonderful. Of course the game had a ton of flaws but it was a very relaxing, very happy experience with a lot of memorable moments that I'll cherish for a long time (and have screencapped a lot of them to do so)
the more you know about video games the more fun it will be, and this is coming from someone who despises comfyfags

Also, it's dumb to recommend that people skip Extra and Unlimited. There's a whole ton of nuance and setups that you miss out on by reading a summary, not to mention actually giving a shit about the characters. And for all the flak that SoL romance VNs get, Muv-Luv is still one of the better examples.
The point is moot though, because the payoff's not worth it. Alternative completely shits the bed.

It's just bland. If you want to know more about the characters, you should finish it, but if you just don't give a damn it's best to skip.

This is correct, but people might not want to waste 10+ hours on two VNs that they may not like just to play a third one that they may not like either.
>The point is moot though, because the payoff's not worth it. Alternative completely shits the bed.
Elaborate? I liked the intense case of PTSD MC gets after going through half the plot. He gets such a huge advantage with the knowledge of what's gonna happen in the future and all the combat experience from the loops and then promptly shuts the fuck down at the first sign of failure. And then the suffering doesn't stop.

>Spoiler
That's exactly the point where I stopped giving a shit, because I can't fucking stand Takeru. He spends the next several hours just shitting around and being a crybaby while accomplishing nothing. Some interesting stuff does happen during that time and if it had happened earlier on I probably would have liked it a lot, but by that point we're halfway through the VN and Takeru has been acting like a whiny bitch the entire time. I was so sick of his bullshit that I couldn't bring myself to care.
It doesn't help that this all takes place after that 8 hour coup d'etat arc that had nothing to do with the main plot and was just an excuse for the writer to spout pseudo-philosophical bullshit in an attempt to sound deep and profound.
I guess that's my problem with MLA. The pacing is fucked so the plot doesn't really start until halfway through but the MC is too insufferable to carry the narrative until that point.

I bought that piece of shit years ago and never played it because it runs at ONE frame per second and there's no fix to it despite several people having the same issue. I tried to refund it but they didn't want to give it to me since I had it sitting in my library for more than a year.

Why the fuck would you expect an average japanese harem protagonist to not act like a fucking kid? In the first game, he acts like an indecisive sperg until the very last moment where he picks the girl regardless of how much points you get with each heroine. In Unlimited, he doesn't get to fight BETA at all, so he doesn't get a chance to stop acting like a fucking kid.
>coup d'etat
It was most likely present only because of MC abusing the fucking future experience and not getting any chance to fight. Sensei was behind the BETA ambush that one time, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that she went "let's just let this happen" because it would give her more time to finish the thing and give the 207 a free promotion. I'll agree with you that long-winded monologues about nothing from the Harem Protagonist Fuckup are terrible, but this arc was here for a reason.

Nope, it's true. I got it and it does have a bunch of additional stuff, including voice acting.
However, CF's release isn't exactly the vanilla version either. It does add a few bugfixes and random doodads from the Deluxe version, but it lacks the voice acting, of course.
Also, CF's "translation" isn't really that, it's more of a rewrite. If you can handle some moonrunes, Deluxe is the way to go.

Only if you can find a PS4 for cheap since piracy on version 4.55 and below are available now. Eventually higher firmwares will also be supported BUT the guys behind are saying to avoid version 5.50 at all costs.
>Gravity Daze 1/2
Great music and artstyles, cute protagonist, and probably one the more original movement systems in recent games. The challenges and photo reviews add a lot of incentive to keep playing the games.
>Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
Remake that makes every other remake look like a shitty cash in. Reworked a shit load a lot of the core game mechanics, HD upgrade, added in a bunch of new shit, moves, and enemies. The original Odin Sphere is also included with Leifthrasir. You can also pirate/emulate it on PS3 and Vita.

<Ape Escape
Pretty good game, catching monkeys are fucking annoying when they hit you but before you catch them and use your gay radar to find them, they have small descriptions or act in a manner related to the environment and personality they have. Ape Escape 2 however spoiled me in being better in every way in terms of gameplay, graphics, level design and other nuances like less loading screens and draw distance being noticeably better.
<Way of the passive fist
Despite the meme name and the meme hair, it's okay. You don't have to move around too much other than a few boss fights so it can get pretty boring and it has some gay shit like pressing a button to dash instead of just tapping the stick twice. I recall the game having decent music. I feel like this game can be truncated to five stages and why couldn't my fierce/roundhouse could be used to pick which super I wanted, stuff like that makes me think this is a fucking meme game.

Yes, as a rule of etiquette you shouldn't be taking a towel in. In fact you shouldn't even be taking your filthy body and hair in, you clean off first with a shower before even touching the Hot Srping. Stupid foreigners forgo this constantly leading to certain bathhouses outright banning foreigners from entering depending on the area.
