New Review is Live!
[p]Our eighth Metacritic-affiliated review is here! We got a review from Andrés Aquino of Gfinity, scoring Shujinkou at a very high 9/10.[/p][p][/p][h2]Please give the full review a read here:[/h2][p] [/p][h2]Excerpts from the Review[/h2]
  • [p]"After spending dozens of hours with the game, I can safely say that it has helped me infinitely, especially when it comes to dusting off my Hiragana and Katakana while providing a shockingly in-depth guide for the basics of Japanese as a language." [/p]
  • [p]"If you've played games like Persona, you'll feel right at home." [/p]
  • [p]"Progress is a tad slow, but I appreciate Rice Games gradually feeding more and more mechanics as you play through the game to avoid players feeling overwhelmed." [/p]
  • [p]"While it stands on its own as a very well thought-out JRPG, much of its systems work in conjunction with mastering at least a bit of the Japanese language." [/p]
  • [p]"The base game is more than enough content to keep you busy for dozens of hours with a very interesting story, gameplay mechanics that mostly hit the mark, compelling characters, and one of the most memorable soundtracks of the year, a massive compliment considering it's up there with the likes of Hades 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33."[/p]
  • [p]"Shujinkou has the makings of a cult classic that, hopefully, will be enjoyed by even more players in the future."[/p]
[p][/p][h2]Review Conclusion[/h2][p]"An amazing learning tool but an even better game, Shujinkou is an ambitious JRPG that's very much worth your time in what's already an incredible year for independent games."[/p][p][/p][p]🎷 Listen to the soundtrack here:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
