Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 162 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Overwhelmingly Positive (1,889 of 1,946 positive).
Players praise the prequel as a masterclass in writing that deepens the original story. [1][2][3] Many find the age gap between Jacopo and Morgana uncomfortable and poorly handled. [4][5][6] Some reviewers call it the greatest piece of fiction they have experienced. [7][8][9]

I like the depth this game gave to some characters and most importantly to Jacopo and Morganas story but honestly I couldn't focus too much on it since their age difference makes me so uncomfortable. The way where some conversations and topics were going, were just too much for me. Worst part is how everyone else completely encouraged his behaviour, even leading it to sexual topics. Completely ignoring this, the …

a masterclass in writing. ugly cried. buy this even if you don't think you like visual novels (read fata morgana first)

The greatest piece of fiction I've ever experienced to be honest. This story will stick with me until the day I snuff it. I remember when I completed it, I went to bed thinking about only it, I slept dreaming of it, then woke up the next day immediately thinking about it some more. This stuff is life changing, honest. Also Serie de Fragmento is the best song ever.

The base story is the reason this franchise got so much renown, but personally, I love Requiem more. There is just something really appealing about the story of Jacopo & Morgana that puts it above the others for me. You might be worried that Requiem is kind of redundant when you already know the end results from the previous entry. I also usually feel less inclined to check out prequels due to not being that …

Great story in conjunction with amazing soundtracks, and interesting side stories.So firstly we have Morgana and Jacopo full "view" backstory.It was pretty good, and i love this dynamic.if u already read main game u might be think it quite dragged out plot in some moments (which we already see in og) ofc perhaps only i feel it.After finishing main story we got few side stories and the Fragnent (kinda epilogue of the …

The small stories were well-done as well (though only one was of any real length). Don't play this if you haven't played the main game, as it spoils a good chunk of the plot. My only real issue is that the characters use a lot of modern slang despite living a thousand years in the past, which did take me out of the experience a little bit. Not enough to ruin the game, but it did irk me from…
