Early Access Review
Make no mistake, the game is presently in it's alpha at the time of it's early access launch, so all of the typical growing pains that come with that point of development can be found. Ranging from bugs, to a lengthy 'to do' list, to unimplemented content.

With that said, the reason why I feel I can recommend the game at this point is because of the team and just how much they are genuinely listening to player feedback. With the major first patch following the EA launch addressing a number of player concerns already, and the next upcoming patch to be anytime within a few fays of my posting this, to address even more.

With that said, the actual gameplay currently at this time is pretty solid for an alpha, almost surprisingly so. Between this, the devs actually caring about player feedback, and the sheer degree of *tremendous* potential the game has... I believe there are a many of great things on the horizon for Pantheon, and it will be a quite a ride to watch it all happen.

So while the game is most certainly not for everyone, it does scratch a long lingering itch for players looking for an 'old school MMO' experience, as Pantheon is every bit a love letter to the Everquest days of old as one could hope to get. Right down to the nostalgic 'ding' ringing out upon leveling up.

You can feel the love the developers have for this game, as the attention to detail is nothing short of incredible.

By the end of the story, I was left mixed feelings, but in the best possible way. 10/10

When it comes to slice of life, I'm a connoisseur of sorts. especially if it entails romance and/or Yuri. I've completed a fair number of visual novel titles over the years, and I must say, Highway Blossoms took me by a very pleasant surprise.

I received Highway Blossoms in a Humble Bundle sometime back and just recently decided to finally get around to playing it. So with no other knowledge or expectations other than a promise of Yuri, I jumped in.

...I was not prepared for the sheer quality of this visual novel. The characters, their interactions, the artwork, the music... AlienWorks spared no expense of effort, and it really, really shows in this little gem.

The number of background art panels alone is tremendous, not to mention that even the minor characters get sprites. 11/10 in the art department, because 10 just doesn't give this aspect enough justice. This level of care and detail in artwork rather quite rare.

Then there are the characters. The main characters' dynamic and chemistry is nothing short of fantastic. I'll simply leave it at that.

If you enjoy a good slice of life Yuri romance, you would be doing yourself a massive disservice by passing this one up. Trust me. It's now my favorite visual novel.

I went in not really expecting much at a glance and with absolutly no knowledge of sonico's character. My only impressions were: "that it 'looked fun' from a lets play video I watched."

I must say that I was not expecting the quality of this game to be as good as it is.

The artwork and visuals in Sonicomi are fantastic; backed up by an absolutly beautiful soundtrack that matches the mood and the emotion of the characters on screen perfectly. Then there are the characters themselves who are very fun and full of life.

As someone who enoys FPS games and has played a lot of visual novel titles, I highly recomend Sonicomi to those who enjoy these two things. You will not be disapointed.

Short and sweet. As someone who enjoys rather simple visual novels, I really liked it.

Early Access Review
An enjoyable story with very likable characters. I highly recommend this to anyone who finds the title interesting at a glance. I went in with no knowledge or expectations and came out with many laughs and smiles, and even a few bruised feels.

Don't let all the opinionated negatively down play it too much. For an indie visual novel made by two people, I say they did a fantastic job. 8/10
