Norn9: Var Commons Review – PSLS

JRPG fans were treated to a trifecta of hits on the PS4 last month, from the sublime Disgaea 5 to the excellent Tales of Zestiria. On Vita, visual novel aficionados are facing a similar (albeit more spread-out) renaissance of the genre on that system, starting with August’s Amnesia: Memories. The latest game in this trend, Norn9: Var Commons, is here, and I’m pleased to report that it’s a thoroughly enjoyable — if somewhat uneven — otome/science fiction hybrid.
