[b]"Literally the game with the worst controls and gameplay mechanics I have ever played in my life."[/b] [h1]✒️Review [/h1] I can't really say much about the story or overall content of the game since I only played it for 18 minutes, but it's enough for me to know that this title hasn't gone through any testing or polishing. This game has very striking pixel art, which is what made me want to play it, and I can't complain about that. On the other hand, as far as the gameplay is concerned, it is full of errors, bugs, design flaws that make playing it this title an unbearable agony that made me unable to continue. The physics of the character are too strange, it is easy to achieve high jumps, but when he falls it is as if you were controlling a lead character character, making the platforming sections of the "tutorial" complicated. The title has melee and ranged combat, with 4 different bars: health, stamina, ammo and "hit CD". Hitting consumes some stamina and Hit CD, but you have to wait for hit CD to recharge before attacking again, something common in souls games. Running also consumes this stamina bar, so you can already see that it is a more precious resource. But to my surprise, shooting also consumes your stamina bar in addition to ammunition, and not only does it use less of each bar than the previous actions, but it empties it completely, which makes the battle pause tremendously while you have to wait for the stamina bar to recharge. In addition, melee weapons have no knockback, so even if you attack the enemy, he can hit you back without any problem. The game's controls are also poorly designed. Starting with the fact that the title never explains them on-screen, but instead puts you right into the action, you have to look them up in the game's menu. You're forced to play the title with keyboard and mouse, as you can't perform several basic actions like equipping items or even aiming and shooting when using a gamepad. Although the game forces you to play with a mouse, it really only serves as a two-button peripheral, since it is not useful for aiming, as the gun sight is controlled with "Q and E", making it even more uncomfortable to play. [h2]💭Conclusion[/h2] I do not doubt that this game was created with an ambitious idea, to combine the 2D platforming with an adult story and sexual content. But it is so badly programmed (because there are other flaws that I have not mentioned such as the voice acting recorded with an Xbox microphone, the lack of ability to configure the screen resolution, the lack of autosave, etc.) that for the price of 25 dollars, I do not recommend under any circumstances to buy this title until all the problems that the game has are solved.

Midnight Memories: Sonata of the Soul is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. The developers sales blurb for this would have you believe this is a story-rich, sci-fi fantasy RPG platformer, where you control the developers imaginary girlfriend/waifu, who is pulled through time into an unknown land, searching for a way back to her own time. To accomplish the simple task of moving from left to right the player must level up and fight enemies, while making dialogue choices along the way, that do not matter, because of course this needed to be filled with more cringey high school anime club dropout fan-fiction writing than actual platforming. The platforming itself, by the way, is some of the jankest, mismanaged, haphazardly assembled junk I've seen in literally hours (I'm on Steam, reviewing free games, there's a lot of garbage, but still, this is right up there). Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $25 USD for this. Yeah, TWENTY FIVE UNITED STATES DOLLARS for this pixelcrap fan-fiction about the developers imaginary girlfriend. WTF! Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 5 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
