Synopsis
“New Horizon” invites players into a world where personal heartbreak meets grand conspiracies. It’s a story about broken hearts, unresolved traumas, and the hope of finding solace amidst chaos. While the premise hints at greatness, does the game soar or stumble?
A Tale of Hope and Shadows:
At its core, “New Horizon” is a deeply personal story. You play as Hirase Tatsuya, a university student burdened by his father’s mysterious disappearance and a breakup that left him reeling. Life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters a girl who seems equal parts trouble and salvation. Together, they navigate a plot that could shake the very fabric of their world.
The narrative teeters between heartfelt and heavy-handed. Flashbacks are plentiful, anime tropes abound, and while the story is compelling in places, the uneven pacing sometimes derails its emotional impact.
Stunning Visuals, Subtle Flaws:
If there’s one thing “New Horizon” nails, it’s the visuals. The character renders are a feast for the eyes, brimming with detail and personality. The 3D graphics in adult scenes are a particular highlight, with static and animated elements blending seamlessly to create a polished experience. That said, the reliance on default HS2 poses occasionally pulls you out of the illusion.
A Game That Plays Itself:
Player engagement is where “New Horizon” falters most. This is a kinetic novel at heart, which means your choices are minimal to nonexistent. The result is a beautifully told story that often feels like it’s happening to you rather than with you. The music, while serviceable, doesn’t leave a lasting impression, leaving the emotional beats somewhat muted.
Lost in the Loop:
The game’s core loop—advancing through the narrative and uncovering its mysteries—is undermined by disjointed moments and illogical events. A well-placed flashbang should heighten tension, but here, it feels ignored and irrelevant. It’s these breaks in continuity that keep *New Horizon* from reaching its full potential.
Verdict:
“New Horizon” is an intriguing yet imperfect journey. It’s a game of contrasts: stunning visuals paired with limited interactivity, a heartfelt story weighed down by clichés. While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it’s a visually striking experience that might resonate with fans of emotional, narrative-driven games.
Final Score: 6/10 – A horizon worth glimpsing, but not quite reaching.
