If you are reading this review then you probably read through the first two games and you're already invested in the story so I don't need to convince you to buy this one lol. Let's get the obvious out of the way first: both in visuals and sound the series continues to be really good with a relaxing soundtrack and beautiful artwork.
This third volume is my second favorite of the series and I'll try to explain why while keeping it spoiler free, -Le volume sur automne- happens to be the one that addresses the elephant on the room: lesbian relationships in a traditionally christian school. In this subject I feel things were well executed, of course I can't relate 100% to the situation because I'm a man but the thing is (as I mentioned in my review for the first game) I did go to a private catholic school (next to an all-girls catholic school) and despite the traditional and usually oppressive enviroment lesbian relationships are really common in these schools, I don't know, maybe it's the fact that you are surrounded by nuns and girls all day or the excessive worship to the virgin Mary but we didn't call that school a "lesbian factory" for nothing. Girls being "confused" or scared of admitting that they liked other girls was common and there was some situations where this unfortunately ended badly, with girls dropping out of school when their conservative christian families found out about it. This makes the story more believable and things like Nerine's doubts and fears make a lot more sense.
All in all this third volume happens to have a lot more "depth" than the rest and the writers did save a plot-twist or two to drop as you are reading. Another well deserved recommendation.

SO, now we are getting into the second game of the FLOWERS franchise and, in my opinion, the best one.
FLOWERS as a franchise tells the story of various girls, in the first volume most characters are introduced and we get to see Suoh's story, in -Le volume sur ete- the story continues from where we left off, except that Suoh's friend, Erika, is the new protagonist. Parts of Suoh's story can be seen from Erika's perspective but this volume focuses on the relationship between Erika and the new character: Chidori.
The reason that makes this volume the best one is the relationship dynamic between Erika and Chidori, these two are, by far, the best couple in the series and their exchanges make for a very entertaining read.
Visually I guess it would have been better if there were more CG's as I feel that the same scenes got repeated too much. That being said the art is still as beautiful as it was before. (to the point that I went and got a tattoo of 3 flowers: a lilly, a erica and a beni chidori).
Sound and music also work well with the type of story and atmosphere, the soundtrack is very relaxing and enjoyable.
If you are here I'm assuming that you like this series already but in the case that you have any doubts: the franchise gets better and better with this volume being my personal favorite.

Satoru's father be like "my son is a virgin, friendless idiot so I sent him on the most retarded mission ever and gave him explicit orders to get laid"

Sea of Thieves is whitout a doubt the best pirate game there is. In its core aspects the game nails the feeling of sailing and looking for treasure, but a refined PVP experience and an extensive PVE content makes it so there is a very good balance between the two options. You'll have plenty of fun whether you are sailing with your friends playing songs and solving puzzles or engaging in complex battles against other ships.

Flowers -Le volume sur printemps- is an amazing yuri visual novel, it has an exelent writing, beautiful art and a very good soundtrack.
The plot itself is what you could expect from such a novel (as someone who actually went to a private catholic school right next to an all-girls catholic school I can say that the ambientation is on point, down to how common lesbian relationships are in such places), the "detective" parts added a nice twist, what is more interesting though is that the story is actually very good at setting the mood for a long read and finishing this first novel will simply leave you wanting to continue reading the next one. The concept of "girls that grow with each passing season" is well executed.
All in all this is something you shouldn't pass up. The ending, very unexpectedly, hit me very hard, I had to pour myself a glass of whiskey after finishing the game.

Me and a couple of guys were defending a bridge from a Warden attack, I threw a grenade that killed 3 enemies and an officer wanted to commend me, as he is doing it I got hit in the chest with an RPG and the officer screams "oh my god I wanted to commend the private and now he is dead".
I give this game PTSD/10.

BUENO GENTE LES EXPLICO, ESTE ES UN JUEGO DE RITMO LA IDEA ES QUE ESTES TRANQUI HASTA QUE LLEGAS A UN NIVEL 8 Y NO PEGAS UNA NOTA EN ESE MOMENTO TE CLAVAS UN SAQUE DE MERCA Y CUANDO ESTAS RE DURO LE DAS SIN PARAR TODA LA NOCHE HASTA QUE HACES EL FULL COMBO RECOMIENDO BASTANTE

So, Synergia is a very interesting visual novel. It's a rather short story, 4 to 5 hours to complete it with both endings but what Synergia acomplishes in these 5 hours is pretty amazing.
The story in on itself is nothing too surprising, you got a dystopian future with a female protagonist who meets a cute android girl and they fall in love, it seems simple but it's not. The point where I think Synergia does an amazing job is where it complicates this seemengly easy to understand plot and adds various other things in between that make the story more unique, interesting and overall enjoyble. You got an imperial style oppressive government, evil corporations, moral debates about humanity and consciousness and a war being waged against rebels. It sounds complicated but the way the game goes about this is that it simply explains what it needs to explain and nothing else, you know as a player that many of these things are going on in the background and that they affect you but Synergia separates itself from it to give you your unique small story in this world.
On other aspects the game has a really nice illustration style with a fitting soundtrack.
It's cheap and it's good, I doubt you'll regret buying this.

Demon harem go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

What? You were thinking this was just a stupid hentai game or a stupid love story? No, there is a lot more going on in this game and only YOU can find out what it is.

On a more serious note, the game is really worth it. Has a very cool intro and the story is a lot more heart-destroying and mind-messing than you'd think.
