This game saved my life
This game saved my life. Played this game when I was very depressed and borderline suicidal. To this day the soundtrack brings tears to my eyes. Pixel graphics fit this heartwarming story so well and the game is full of neat little puzzles and areas that you'll have to return to explore, but since the plot and characters are so well developed and full of personality, the hours fly by.

Still thinking about it
Since when I played Plants vs Zombies, years ago, I looked for its great soundtrack composer Laura Shigihara, finding her Twitter profile. She was talking about a game she was developing, named Rakuen or something like this, and the whole project sounded awesome. I promised to myself that I would buy it the day it was released. To be exact, I only got motivated to register a Steam account specifically in order to buy Rakuen, even if other games were bought before and after it. Also, even if I found a blog and YouTube videos where Laura talked about Rakuen's development, I didn't read or watch any of it, to avoid creating wrong or misguided expectations. And it was worth the wait. This is an awesome piece of art. As a story, Rakuen has a well developed and thoughtful plot, deep and diverse characters, balanced and pleasant pace. Visually, Rakuen has colorful and elegant graphics, with easily recognizable sprites and detailed scenarios. The gameplay is fluid, with simple but entertaining puzzles, not too hard, not too easy, and with rock solid programming. Finally, Rakuen's music is delightful, perfectly syncronized with the feelings inspired by the plot. Rakuen provoke chuckles, tears and smiles. It brings back a warmth sometimes we forget that exist. It became one of my favorite games ever, and I doubt its place will ever be taken by another title. Thank you Laura, thank you very much for Rakuen.
