Just a heads up for those following primarily for MoeGamer stuff: this weekend will likely be one without an Atelier MegaFeature chapter, since I just got a review code for Blue Reflection Second Light in, and you better bloody believe that is taking priority right now.
The first Blue Reflection is absolutely one of my favourite games of all time, and I've been looking forward to the sequel all year. It's going to get plenty of coverage over on Rice Digital for sure — but I'm mostly just looking forward to spending some time with it. The preview build I played a little while back was great, and I want to see what happens next!
My review code is on PS4 while my preview copy was on PC, so I've had to play through the prologue again. I've done that this evening, so I will likely be spending most of Saturday glued to brand new stuff in the game, then recording stuff on Sunday as usual. Obviously I can't talk much about specifics as yet, but suffice to say for now that for those who enjoyed the first game, Blue Reflection Second Light is going to make you very happy indeed. And for those who were less of a fan — Blue Reflection Second Light has tweaked a lot of things that will likely make you very happy indeed also.
I mean, you still need to be on board with the idea of a video game about teenage girls talking about feelings and then using those feelings to fight monsters, but, well… come on. Even if that's not your bag I'd encourage you to check out the soundtrack — much like the first one, it's a gloriously peculiar mix of gentle plinkyplonky piano numbers and dubstep electronica that will burn your face off. I love it.
Anyway. Cute girls getting in touch with their emotions is very much on the agenda for the weekend. Just wanted to let you know!
