Fried RIce TT-TT Bought it 5 hours ago, downloaded it, then played the Umi Route for 3 hours. I now have cried on this game and series for 8 times (5 times on the Summer Pockets, 2 times on the anime, 1 time for the Umi route). Will update the cry count in the near future. Edit (30/06/25): Did the Shiki Route. I kind of recommend doing this after doing the shiroha and ao route. The lore it adds on both routes are quite heavy so you might get lost if you did this before shiroha and ao route, and as usual, I cried at the end. Edit: (07/07/25) Finished all routes (including alka and pocket route. I don't know if I just forgot the end (on the original summer pockets) but I think they added a few things + the end/conclusion of the story. Ready your tissues/towel for the end because it sure did make me cry a lot. Cry Count: 15, (+6 because of the end routes)

I don’t understand what the mixed reviews are all about - this is perhaps the greatest, most innovative table tennis game on Steam. It has everything you could ever want - an endurance mode, a full tournament arc, doubles and singles play, and even this cool power-up that makes everyone yell “KIEEEEEEEEEHHH.” They do replace a traditional scoring system with life bars that I would typically associate with Street Fighter or that one My Little Pony-looking fighting game, but I consider this a bold innovation to the table tennis formula, and it helps differentiate it from competitors like Eleven Table Tennis. I gather the developers, who were kind enough to include an entire visual novel with the game, made some undesirable alterations to the UI, some of the script, and a bit of the art in this side content. And if you take issue with these adjustments, I totally get it. Rest assured, the main gameplay seems to be untouched, and it holds up excellently. I also gather there might be an additional hidden minigame I've yet to uncover, and I may update this review to reflect that if I find it. Also, Ao is the best doubles partner. She makes a funny face when she yells “KIEEEEEHHHH,” and gives you a magazine when your racket breaks.

Having played the original Summer Pockets, then playing the original Japanese version of REFLECTION BLUE when it came out; I can say with confidence that this is the best Visual Novel I have ever experienced. Does it have a lot of tropes? Yes. Does it have many "anime moments"? Yes. Are some routes better than others? Of course. But, there's also a lot of love and care put into this game. The backgrounds are beautifully drawn, the music is fantastic, and every character is extremely loveable. We follow them through their struggles, we laugh at and with them as we immerse ourselves in their stories; we then learn of them, who they are, and get attached. I couldn't tell you the amount of laughs and tears I shed playing through this game. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience I cherish extremely deeply and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

Guys, get the bundle. It's cheaper for both games than just this one. Other than that, I loved the original. Can't wait to see the new routes.

This is my favourite game of all time. Even after having played many, many games/genres over the years, this one has cemented itself as the one closest to my heart. I played it for the first time roughly 1 year into studying Japanese and so all of this is independent of the localisation and only applies to the original script as this version ships with it. This is a visual novel made by Visual Arts / Key, their stories have a reputation to be among the highest revered and influential Nakige, used for games that are meant to make you cry, while not written by Jun Maeda, the man behind other famous Key works, he did come up with the concept and wrote the opening track to the game which is one of the best non-vocal ones: ''Sea, You & Me''. On that note, the OST itself is truly remarkable which is only aided by the handful added tracks Reflection Blue added, I can not think of a single track that doesn't fit the scene or is of lower quality than any of the others. A personal highlight of mine are the vocal tracks which have and still do while re-listening, have made me cry more than I would like to admit, but that is the beauty of games or stories in general, to me. Personally, the strongest asset of this game is the consistent quality of all its routes, its characters, and its themes that go along with them. Everyone on the cast be it main heroine or side character, everyone I firmly believe gets a moment to shine at their brightest and while I do have a favourite, I would be lying if I said that I dislike any of them, far from it, I love every single one of them. For the routes, i do not want to even go into detail and simply implore to read them all, as everyone single one of them has made me shed many, many tears. Instead of saying what I believe the themes of this game to be, I'd much rather that anyone even slightly interested in the game to come to your own conclusion, meet the game at eye level, avoid looking at guides and let the game speak for itself. The game will absolutely not work for everyone, nor should it, but I believe that if the game works for you, it will leave an impression. All this review is really meant to show what this game means to me and if just one person gets interested thanks to this then I'm satisfied, as I strongly believe this game embodies what Summer means.
