Unfortunately, her recovery isn’t complete. Having suffered a knee injury, Hinako spent the first half of her freshman year in recovery. But because of that, I ended up liking it all the better.īlue Reflection follows the story of Hinako Shirai, a first-year at Hoshinomiya High School and ballet prodigy. I can honestly say that I didn’t expect the game to be what it was. Surprisingly down-to-earth (an impressive feat, considering it’s a magical girl game), Blue Reflection‘s slice-of-life storyline explores the complexity of human emotions and what it means to be alive - and all of that is even further complimented by the game’s amazing audio and visuals. While definitely a Gust game through and through, Blue Reflection seems to be a step in a new direction.
Maybe not in the usual way Gust games are, though. And it just so happens that looking forward to Blue Reflection was the right call, because this game ended up being a lot of fun. So, when a new IP does pop up, it’s always something to look forward to.

However, since the Atelier series makes up the bulk of their products (no complaints here!), new Gust IPs are pretty few and far between.
Having been a long-time fan of the Atelier series, It’s very much safe to say that I’m a Gust fan. I’ve been interested in Blue Reflection since I initially heard about its Western release.
