Shaun writes: VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action isn’t your typical visual novel game. SUKEBAN Games, the developer, makes this clear via the ‘Cyberpunk Bartender Action’ tagline! This tagline is not only in your face on the title screen but also pretty much every screen of the game as part of the bartending operating system.
VA-11 HALL-A is certainly very cyberpunk and most definitely centres on bartending, but calling it an ‘action’ game it most certainly is not. Even from the offset, the developers tell you to sit back, relax and enjoy the game with a drink in hand. With that in mind, that’s exactly what I did.

Some visual novels have made a huge impact in the gaming world and are still talked about today! With that in mind, I’ve decided to make a list of some of the best visual novel games out there."
Clannad is pretty good I enjoyed the anime, Nekopara is also a good visual novel I enjoyed the games and anime. I also enjoyed Re:Zero Prophecy of the Throne the anime is also great had to get a Rem fix some how after she started to turn into Sleeping Beauty in Season 2.
Best ones I've played are Island, World End Syndrome, If My Heart Had Wings, Aokana: Four Rhythms Across the Blue and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. I own the visual novels and anime series for Steins;Gate, Clannad, Little Busters and Re:Zero. Check out my suggestions for some amazing experiences.
I don't invest a lot of time into visual novels like you do I don't have a lot of time for gaming right now been super busy at work. I just stick to my four Nekopara, Re:Zero, Clannad and World End Syndrome lol.

The Games Cabin Writes:
"VA-11 HALL-A is not just a game, but a long journey of struggle from developers who love video games, and suffer from the difficulties of real life, especially in third world countries. They used this pain as a mean to create a fertile fantasy world full of attractive dramatic stories and well integrated projections on our current society and the near future of humanity."
The bar is now open for Xbox Game Pass members. If you've got a thirst for all things cyberpunk, this game will definitely satisfy you.
