Better than Monster Hunter Milds.

Shadows of Doubt is by means not a bad game but it has faults that are obnoxious to navigate

-AI is too reliant on the procederally generated world and the game breaks down like dominos, killers stop killing, NPC's stop going to work and businesses are closed. Its usually over something silly, for example if the NPC loses its wallet, it simply won't go to work.
-Upgrades for your character like sync disks range from useful for your character to insanely useless.
-The tools you are led to believe from the tutorial case, almost no longer apply.

The game also gets stale after you have done every case type a few times the variation is not enough to keep things interesting. The game has great premise but is weighed down by lack of that variety and strange development direction.

its still a fun game despite all the gripes and I hope they fix or improve the gameplay loop in later titles/sequels.

No character creation. Very dated gameplay. Basically watered down runescape made in UE5. there is probably more to the game but it seems very elementary even for indie MMO standards.
Very boring gameplay.

The game is advertised incorrectly, its a mobile game. They are employing a marketing strategy that is popular in SEA markets but not the Americas regions. That being said Blue Protocol also failed in Japan there is not a good chance of it succeeding. I do think however its fun to play, has great visuals and lots of in-game activities to grind/explore.

There are tons of nitpicky reviews that discredit this game but other MMO's get a pass for doing pretty much the same thing. Standards are extreme in this genre but MMO's are fundamentally not good games and is always been carried by the social aspect.

its a solid mid tier game that will provide you some fun hours. But if you are looking for the next big hit MMO. you are better off skipping this title.

This game is pretty great mix up of factory and roguelite and maybe hints of Tower Defense DNA?/Hero defense I guess?

Lots of ways to play, game tries to encourage you to play differently each time. I wish there were more bosses and enemy variety, maybe more rounds. But for what you get its pretty great by itself.

Capitalism.

This game is in a strange place, I wouldn't appropriately give this game to a beginner in the language but I would not give it to an advanced learner either. The pacing is too quick for a beginner to grasp but the game would work as a great supplement alongside the N5 or Genki or even みんなの日本語. It might even make a great refresher for people who have stopped learning and need a crash course.

Very nice charming game

I can't really put into words how I feel about this game, It's got a charm that has been lacking for a few decades. Some of the most well written characters I have seen in a video game. The open world is filled with lore tidbits everywhere, there are some jrpg tropes scattered throughout. The game play is very punishing on expert but I feel it was fair. I beat the game, I feel like despite having a hard time parrying most things I was able to survive by setting up my characters properly. So there is no reason I feel like the average person could not complete it on a lower difficulty.

It's an excellent game.

I was able to have a lot of fun in this game without knowing the demographic it was made for. It's got a very good simulator flow with lots of potential to grow. There are intricate systems to stimulate growth and the game continues to try to make use of the playspace you are given.

You can really break bad here.

Motor Town is a excellent game, that is intricate but also simple to pick up and play at the same time. The game is designed to be played in a community but can be played in single player as well. It has a very nice flow of progression and it is very easy to get lost here. You can watch the dev blog videos to get a idea how the passion that goes into this game.

There are many Jobs to take on, some Jobs impact other regions, progression is very streamlined and easy to follow. Many cars to drive and there is a lot of attention to detail. You can also decorate some of the cars to fit a particular style. Also some styles of driving has a very Crazy Taxi feel but at the same time cozy.

Fun game
