This is a special game to me - I love the themes, characters and music which are the more important parts of a game personally. Is it worth 60 dollars? Definitely not, and if you can't get both I recommend you play Second Light instead because the sequel has all the good points of this game and does it way better. Blue Reflection 1 suffers from budget issues heavily and it can be felt in the gameplay, translation and story pacing. That said, if you are a fan of girls interacting with each other, turning into magical girls and fighting giant god-like beings then I recommend you get this on sale, along with Second Light.

I really enjoyed this game! I love Hinako and the other girls—they gave me plenty of good laughs throughout. While the gameplay can get a bit repetitive and overall feels quite easy, the bosses can provide some challenge. The soundtrack is enjoyable, the visuals are nice. The story is decent, but not the standout feature. Overall, it's a really solid and enjoyable game!
