The Nekopara games have given me one of the most memorable emotional journeys of my life.

The final gauntlet of boss fights is an epic test of stamina.

This game is the closest most of us will come to living our best lives.

From the gorgeous spritework to the satisfying gameplay to even the kooky cutscenes, everything about Streets of Rage 4 is crafted with a genuine love for the series.

One of the best RPGs ever made.

Pros:
+ Fast-paced large-scale battles.
+ Mix-and-match moves.
+ Rich Dragon Ball lore.

Cons:
- Long loading screens.
- Dial-a-combo gameplay.
- Grindy RPG elements.

Love Ribbon is a heartwarming, emotionally honest yuri romance with enough tension and twists to pull you through the endings and epilogue.

Volume three is an emotional rollercoaster that ends with a heartwarming, if somewhat rushed, conclusion to this tale of E.T. with cute anime girls.

Volume two soothes you with feels, then hits you with reveals. One of the characters is undercover XCOM.

Best Nekopara yet.

The artwork features more variety, the animations show more detail, the gags elicit more chuckles, the voicework sounds more heartfelt, the dialogue is more poignant, the story gets more emotional, the characters get more development, and the protagonist has more stamina than ever.

With volume three, the series has grown well beyond a memetic gag. It's accomplished enough character development and world-building to support its upcoming OVA.

If this level of constant improvement keeps up, Nekopara Vol. 4 will blow our minds.
