I'm still at the beginnig so I will update my review but I'm already charmed by all the awesome character designs, even side-characters are just incredible beautiful^^

My fluency in Japanese is still below the level this game requires to read comfortably without crutches, but that didn't stop me from devouring it for almost 150h over 1 month, with the aid of a tablet with G.Lens. It was so engaging that I never cared about playing in such a convoluted way. Why? • Art and music are simply gorgeous. Character design in particular, everyone's ridiculously pretty! • I liked the setting, mixing history with fantasy, and the story was quite engaging for the most part. • Good mix of tragedy, plot and fluff. This is very subjective, but it works for me. I very rarely cry playing games (otome or not), but here I found myself sobbing a lot more often than I'd like to admit. • All the main cast was likeable. I usually tend to like 1-2 love interests and then forget about the rest, and while I do have my favourites I cared about all of them. The main character was okay too. • There were a lot of secondary characters. They played a significant role in making the game world feel alive. • I appreciated that there was some really clear feedback about the impact of your choices. I don't like backtracking, especially for long games, so I begrudgingly resort to walkthroughs. With Ken ga Kimi you don't really need to. Issues / Things I'd improve? • Some repetition. This is expected in the common route, and to be fair it can be skipped, but then there were some events happening on mostly every route and certain route branches end up feeling relatively similar because of that. It didn't feel like a big problem, but more variation wouldn't have harmed. • Plot resolution in some branches felt a bit random at times, Kimi endings in particular. • While art quality was mostly very high, some sprites or CGIs were definitely rougher. • Possibly a bug? The text box in the CGIs didn't show any text in Japanese. If that box was supposed to show the subtitles for the "hidden" audio clips, well, they didn't appear. If it was not, then it's just taking up useless screen space, forcing us to manually hide it. Personal wishlist: • Steam Deck Compatibility!! I've spent quite some time tinkering with protontricks or Lutris trying to get the game to work, but the best I achieved was to see the splash CGI and then a neverending black screen. The fandisc IS playable, so it's a pity that we can't enjoy the main game on the Deck too. • English localization, please! *_* I'm aware the developer doesn't seem to have it in their plans AFAIK and the community are working on this anyway, but I believe this game deserves to be played by as many people as possible. • More Saneaki.
