There's a reason why this is the only VN rated a perfect score by Famitsu. It is an absolute MASTERPIECE for anyone who's into VN's. It's use of real life background images as opposed to using digital backgrounds gives life to the characters, dialogue, story, and to the environment.

After what felt like way more than 30 hours, I finally reached the normal ending of 428: Shibuya Scramble. Despite my few grievances with certain parts of the game, I am still happy to call 428: Shibuya Scramble a masterpiece.

I chose to get all the bad endings for every hour as I went along. That was probably the better choice, because I feel like getting all these joke endings after getting the true ending would be really annoying. It was fun but it's not that deep or anything.

Such a fun time! Gameplay-wise I think this must be revolutionary at the time it was released— well-written and adapted to a video game format.

Although sometimes the mechanic feels a little gimmicky and forced, especially when the keyword is not related to the story beat.
