VN Reviews: “Seduce Me the Otome” and “Valentine Panic” (Michaela Laws) .
Seduce Me the Otome. English voice acting in a visual novel? Yes please! Seduce Me the Otome made me want to cry, but not for the reasons you would think. I found it really charming and I loved it so much that I would usually stop playing it just because of how giddy it made me feel inside. Before I get to the story I really want to commend that the visual novel was voice acted, something you don’t really see often in western visual novels, much less one that is free. I found out that this was crowdfunded, which makes sense, but it’s still very admirable considering the voice actors did a pretty good job. It’s not “top notch”, but it’s nowhere as “cringy” as the voice acting in some anime dubs. As someone who has grown up playing visual novels that were only voiced in Japanese, it’s fantastic…
♀FemGamer: Jotun: Valhalla Edition
I honestly think that Jotun: Valhalla Edition is my favourite “difficult” game of all time, and that’s coming from someone who hates difficult games. I got this game for free in some kind of giveaway and I almost feel guilty that I didn’t pay for it myself.

And right there, you have a recipe for the most exhilarating boss fights ever. The art style is really good and best shows in the game’s bosses in my opinion. I…
♀FemGamer: God Eater 2 Rage Burst
When I first played God Eater 2 Rage Burst, I wasn’t expecting to love it as I did. I did hear a lot of comparisons to Monster Hunter and my thoughts of Monster Hunter as a game are rather mixed, but despite that I fell in love God Eater 2. This is the game that the Monster Hunter series should be. To start off, you have the choice of a customisable character, male or female. It’s pretty much like the Monster Hunter avatar creator where you can change any physical part of your character, including their voice. Something that’s also really neat is that the game has two versions of their opening cinematic (it’s really freaking amazing and suggest you watch it ASAP): one with a male character avatar at the end of it and one with a female. Now for one of my favourite parts of the game: There are…
