Summer Pockets Reviews

It had so much potencial

Absolute cinema

Reflection blue when :(

Definitely one of the best vns out there

bros are out of ideas for their visual novels, I guess

除了柚那条线感觉就是没事硬塞进去的，其他三线都很出色，最喜欢的当然是苍啊，恋爱游戏嘛嘿嘿，pocket真结局没什么说法，放几年前还在读书的时候可能被感动到，堆料没堆到我的xp上，你们品把，7/10我打分是

good visual novel as expected from KEY... i don't think it's better then it's previous titles, but still very enjoyable. The premise of the story is simple, and easy to understand... the minigames is also quite fun, but personally i didn't like minigames on my first playthrough.. still pretty good visual novel would recommend 8.5/10

Ao is Best Girl! Overall, Summer Pockets has a lot of potential. The first three routes (besides the main heroine) are easily 9 to 10/10. The music is fantastic, the visuals are stunning, and the voice actors are great. However, the story gets really messed up in those two true endings. It fails to live up to the potential that the first three heroine routes established. Even though these three routes are considered canon, the game doesn't connect the legends introduced in them during the true endings, which feels like a huge missed opportunity. If it weren’t for Ao, Tsumugi, and Kamome, I’d probably dislike this review. Shiroha’s route is good, though, but the way the story is delivered is weak, especially in terms of explaining the legends and connecting the events throughout Summer Pockets. This made the story from the climax to the ending in the two true routes feel messy and hollow after hours of gameplay. SPOILER ALERT!! (kind of): I expected the two true endings to at least tie together the "butterfly" legend, as well as Ao’s family and Tsumugi’s relationship to Hairi’s grandmother. But instead, they didn’t address these elements at all. Hairi’s grandmother, who seems central to the story, is left unexplained, and even Kyouko, a key character, doesn't get a proper explanation. It’s a real disappointment, and I was left feeling hollow after finishing the game. If I were to replay this game in the future, I’d definitely stick to Ao, Tsumugi, and Kamome's routes, while avoiding Shiroha’s and the two true endings. It’s not that Shiroha’s route is bad—it has a solid romance. The issue is that the events surrounding her story are weak and poorly delivered, leaving a lot to be desired.

Key's visual novel is really that good, Key made Summer Pocket very well, the storyline is very beautiful, feelings of nostalgia, sadness, and joy come together in summer vacation and are combined by the soundtrack made by Jun Maeda and Shinji Orito which is very beautiful, the CG and each voice actor is also very good, Summer Pocket follows an brancing plot line with multiple scenarios of the four female main character (expanded to seven in Reflection Blue), and at the end there are alka and pocket route that can make you cry

the steam version is the original version, there's another version called reflection blue that has more content, so ignore my obviously short play time since I prefer the reflection blue version elsewhere, the game itself is great visual novel as usual by key
