The compilation is atrocious for numerous reasons past the censorship: Blue reflection The original blue reflection is gutted. Now, we already knew that it would be censored and we know that many of the ogs scenes would not fly today, but theres extra changes like the removal of transparency and the removal of all dlc outfits (half of which were casual summer outfits not fanservice ouffits as well as the summer …

As huge fan of this series, I think with this price, it's really worth to grab this on. However if you are concerned about game's censorship, it's NOT THAT HUGE that other people keeps babbling about. You can still see some upskirt stuff (no modest shorts etc), girls in swimsuits etc but only few cutscenes and some stuffs has been altered like changing room scene and some bath scenes in first game, along with white …

Blue Reflection is a peek at the daily life of magical girls. There is a world-ending threat, but the handling of it is episodic, and the rest of the time is spent on personal issues, school life and yuri dating. The game is very low-stakes and relaxed throughout, the personal issues being dealt with are generally not life-threatening, the actual dungeons feel more like field trips than dangerous environments, and …

I'll be frank, the OG game was pretty meh and Tie (Second Light) was just OK gameplay wise (it wasn't bad, but it was so easy that it really ruined the game balance). The anime (Ray) was turbo trash because my favorite character was just in a coma for like half the anime, WHY. Only played Sun for like 2 hours before I got tired of MTLing the whole thing, all for a gacha... But man the OST is truly peak, and the …

People who cry about "fan-service" censorship are playing this game for the wrong reasons, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. with that disclaimer out of the way, lemme now get to the review. Blue reflection quartet is a pack of all the games of the series even the ones that were not available on west for just 42$ (as per my regional pricing) which is a very good deal considering ONE game would cost me 50$. as for the games …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Original game is like 90% fanservice. Quartet is like 90% censorship. I only purchase because hinako is my waifu.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Want to experience the original games? Play the original games cause BLUE REFLECTION Quartet is censored. The censorship is why I can't recommend this game. Those who are okay with the censorship are those who are against the original games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I bought this game, thinking, wow a full collection of both the 2 games with an extra story of the anime, that I never could watch, AND the Gacha game, that I never got to play, what a deal. This game is marketed as a full package deal right? So I start to play as soon as the game becomes available, I'm enjoying myself, but as I go through the first chapter, I notice something off, with Hinako moving around, like her clothes being stiff if you will. The game offered a Save point after the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOL, they did censorship!!!! Think over before buying for oldbie
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this version of the game. There are missing DLC and unnecessary censorships. The two additional games are basically vertical slices of what wanted to be a game, they amount to interactive VNs. Moreover, the stories contained within the new additions are missing a ton of information without explanation. Such as who Uta is, and who the red ring reflectors are. Ao is introduced as though you were supposed to know who she was, and we do, from Second Light. But the prequel suggests even…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprising nobody, half the reviews for Blue Reflection Quartet are weirdos howling about censorship ruining the game. The censorship? They slightly reduced the (seemingly buggy) 2017 titty-jiggle and made clothes get a little less transparent in rain. In a game about high-school magical girls.
positive · AI labelView post →Oh no anime highschool bra and boobies get censored i need to give bad review!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first game chugs a little on the steam deck, but all the others play great! This is an absolutely magical collection! Don't listen to the doom and gloomers- they host a grudge against censorship, but these are still great jrpgs

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another wonderful example of Steam Deck Verified meaning nothing. Take the first game for example; it *can* hit 60fps, but a lot of the time it struggles being around 24fps to 27fps even though the GPU and CPU usage are around 60%. Especially in certain rooms in the school or the 1st floor hallway. Good old Gust again, can't optimise a game to save their lives.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's probably good but I'm only giving a negative review cause of censorship.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, the game is six hours old so I have not gotten through it all. Yes, I have played the original games but not finished them. Yes, that still qualifies me to comment because I have play the games and this game at all. 1. Censorship: Yes and? Does it take away from the story or the narrative at all? Nope. 2. Crashes: Not a single one... I think I may have had a glitch booting the game but I waited a few moments and it started. I do not really have that high end of a system either and I am…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a person who beat this game with 100% achievements i want to say my honest review. Putting aside the "censorship" the game has compared to the other games (I really don´t care about that), I give this game a 8/10 and I´ll explain why: Blue reflection: Pros: -You can walk faster and is less tedious in general -Is not necessary to do all the quests and bond events to 100% the game -Polished graphics and more optimized Cons: -I don´t there are, every bad aspect of the first game they…

positive · AI labelView post →I bought this game because I love this series, its cast, its atmosphere, its stories are appeal to me. The best thing in these games are vibe and music. Vibe for second light, and Music for the first game. It's phenomenal. I never play the first blue reflection game before, so the censorship doesn't bother me that much. Hence, I won't talk about the first game here as I cannot compare. I would recommend this to the following people; First timer Those who doesn't own Second light. Die hard fan…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Leaving a positive review only to try and boost Blue Reflection in general. Quartet is a good package for people who haven't really ever played the originals, but everything else kinda fell short. This magical girl game is not simply a magical girl game, it has a soul and really encaptures what magical girl genre is all about. It's really important for lots of people and is cherished among fans, this is why this package is taking a hit, because the legacy deserves a lot more. To, hopefully,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright, you know what, it's actually not that bad. If you wanted to start off on Blue Reflection, this is the way to do it. You get a complete set of games for the price of one and there is a lot of story here as well. Gameplay is definitely apparent, but KT wanted a title with a longer narrative.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →super chill RPG with lots of slice of life energy, still has plenty of fanservice, as someone who played the OG PC releases of the game I definitely got more hot and bothered when the characters went on hand holding walks or took a picnics together so I'm not really bothered they censored see through fukus in the rain or some bathing scenes, the insane value and big fidelity and quality of life improvements make up for the somewhat understandable censorship tenfold. i am here to to see cute…

Then game show screenshot form english version while I set language to japanese either on stream or switch japanese version while pc original version pick apporiate language just fine. and game game framerate go from steady 250 to 300 fps to 100 to 300 fps all over place and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like Sailor Moon and yuri, so this game is for you Good story telling, good character dev, time line turn base combat system is fun Love the series since playing the Second Light, It's great that they've combined all the games into a single version.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[Review] Both upgraded versions of Blue Reflection and Blue Reflection: Second Light themselves are worth getting Blue Reflection Quartet for.
positive · AI labelView post →If you are curious about the series and want to give it a try, this is the way to do it. You get both main games for less than the price of one original game (especially since these games are rarely included in the Koei Tecmo sales.) If you already own and have played the original games, Quartet is a little harder to recommend. Personally, I wanted the games on PC (I have the originals on PS4 and even played the Vita version of Blue Reflection.) Having watched the anime, I could take or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have played the original release of blue reflection on PS vita and Tie on switch. In short don't purchase this, I am currently replaying the first game and it keep on crashing during battle scene for my pc but Steam deck, Maybe the game hate Nvidia GPU. Below are the Pro & cons Pro - Ok deal if you haven't play the two major release (blue reflection and blue reflection tie) for full price - Rare magical girl yuri JRPG games - Top notch music - Run on potato Cons - Having crash issues for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like other reviews pointed out they didn't even try with this release. Everything they did with this release is so half baked, done half hearted. Just look at the icons for the achievements. They couldn't even just reuse the jpegs from the already existing images on Steam? There are some really minor QOL changes. Seems like a very obvious cash grab that I made the mistake of buying sight unseen. I'm disappointed enough to write a review which is pretty bad. Series deserved better. If you have…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →don't let the averages on steam fool you, this collection is a steal and would be worth it alone for blue reflection and blue reflection second light. solid JRPG with a strong identity, must play for either magical girl or jrpg fans alike.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. The art is so pretty and the music is excellent. Love the magical girl aspect with themes of emotions and empathy. I'll add more to this review when I get through all of Quartet. The characters are cute and the main character in the first game, Hinako, has a pretty heavy storyline. I'm in love with the vibes in the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Credits rolled on Atelier Sophie DX! Going to do a bit of post game stuff and probably get destroyed by some bosses 🎮 Very fun game! Going to play a few games before I start Atelier Firis DX. Final Fantasy VIII is next and then Blue Reflection Quartet! (Over RequiemZ whenever you ship and arrive 😭)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My playtime is low here because this game is relatively new - but - I've played both Blue Reflection and Second Light multiple times and I love both games dearly. I was happy to get a rerelease with the existing games and a new story from the anime. The graphics are marginally better than the original release, which is welcome, and the emotional core of the story is still intact. Blue Reflection is still relatively easy so you can focus on the character dynamics and story - the character…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →puts the otherwise full price individual games into one convenient package that is cheap all together! As a first time player I am having a lot of fun with the original Blue Reflection and am excited to play the other ones. :P Notice how all the negative reviews are gooners
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aside the fact the fanservice of the original games has veeery slightly toned down it´s still a beatufiful Sailor Moon esque RPG game. It´s the first two games, the mobile game without greedy gatcha mechanics and an extra chapter which summarizes the anime (which i stil recommend to watch anyway), And for 50 Bucks i really have to say it´s a good package. The story and presentation is great and the fanservice had very low influence on me to buy it anyway. (Beside i owned a pirated uncut…

positive · AI labelView post →Even though I absolutely loved Blue Reflection: Tie/Second Light, this compilation is not something I can recommend to most people. I haven't played the original BR and Second Light, so this will mostly be my opinions and reviews of the games themselves and not just the updates and censorship. BLUE REFLECTION The first in the series is an awful game. I liked the theme and visuals as well as the music, but apart from that it is terrible and executed poorly. The story tries to be deep and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has, so far, been an incredible way to experience the series, and I've really enjoyed my time with it as a new fan. I can't wait to peer deeper into the franchise, and fill out the character connections map as I learn more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far 4 hours into the first game and i can see most of the changes so far. Yes I am not happy with them either but i can live with most of them (except the new Cami outfit in BR1, i think it looks weird as an outfit and does not fit well together. And i can wait for the mods to fix most of them). The major thing about this release that most are not talking about though is that they did not include the previously released DLC which I was told was not gonna be there but here is the thing…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having lots of fun with the Quartet. The mobile port and anime port are not necessarily games per se but are necessary to give cohesion to the narrative. I had fun with Blue Reflection 1 and Blue Reflection 2 is clearly a refinement of that and the interaction between the girls are really fun with an improved combat system.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept here has potential but the execution is lackluster I expected Koei Tech to do something different with this jrpg but I just got atelier with no synthesis and better story. My review is based on having not played the original game and only beating blue reflection and second light. Overall I would say blue reflection is a mid game and second light is a major improvement in every aspect from the first game but still far from it's potential. Story Blue Reflection Story here is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't mind any censorship or lacking DLC stuff so the original with its very welcome faster pace and TIE are great games like the originals. But the problem is how barebones RAY and SUN are like, they are basically visual novels with "game" aspects threw up here and there. Boss battles in SUN are bizarrely useless since there's no char XP progression or actual exploration albeit the game tries to fake it with you gaining levels that mean absolutely nothing, might as well be tutorial battles.…
