This game is probably my favorite game of all time, I've played it for 1,205.6 hours at the time of writing this review and no doubt that time will go up when the next update drops. I've recommended this game to so many of my friends and got 3 of them addicted to it as well, this game was also what got one of them into Vtubers in the first place. You don't need to know what Vtubers are or even what Hololive is to be able to enjoy this game, although knowing about it does help, a lot of the people I've told about this game liked it without knowing what Hololive was at all. It really is an all around great game and you can't beat the price of free. I've 100% every character and the game at this point and cant wait until Kay gives us more!
As someone who has 100% the game I can confidently say that this is a good game. My advice to anyone trying to 100% the game and its achievements is to take frequent breaks and do it at your own pace, despite the games soundtrack being great turning off the music and playing your own music can also help make it less tedious. Otherwise 10/10. Would be 11/10 if I could pay for the game. P.S: Don't worry about not knowing who the girls are. KayYu did a great job showing off the personalities of them all with their abilities. You may just miss out on some references or easter eggs.
I know nothing about Hololive outside of the occasional memes and recognizing one or two characters, but it's a very fun, very competent roguelike. I figured it'd be a silly, free meme game but it has things to do and is fun to play, it even has a full list of achievements which I thought was nuts. I'm actually excited to keep playing, and I'm glad I gave it a chance.
