<report>I’m a fan of WLW media and I was really looking forward to reading Highway Blossoms. However, I was pretty disappointed in the execution. I suffered through the painful voice acting and not great H-scenes to get very little payoff. The story was not executed well and the characters were not very enjoyable. I would write it off completely, but it is a yuri game that treats the relationship legitimately. The remastered art was fairly good.

<report>I don’t usually like to judge things in comparison to others, but it’s hard not to when it’s by the same studio. I think I liked the main ship(s) a lot more in Highway Blossoms than in Heart of the Woods, but I think HotW had a much more engaging overall narrative and supporting cast. Definitely worth checking out both if you’re looking for good Yuri though.

<report>makes you want to hit the road and go west. being 18 with nothing tying you down. an adventure awaiting you. a band of friends who seem to be everywhere you are and a newfound love. it's idyllic but it's a game.

I'm glad to say I was mistaken, but I'm sorry to say the end product fell below even those expectations.

Highway Blossoms is a game with an utterly ridiculous pretense. The main character, Amber, meets a girl named Marina in the middle of the desert as the result of a car "breakdown". They then, after about 12 hours, end up going on a treasure hunt together. Mind you, that is very little more than a pretext to force them into spending time together, it doesn't really play into their relationship at all, and isn't even a very good... Read more »

<report>I bought Highway Blossoms as part of a bundle in 2020 and since then it has sat in my library. For some reason the game never caught my attention until recently; The premise didn't seem very interesting for some reason.

Girl was I wrong.

I admit that a lot of critique can be given to the novel as a whole.

The soundtrack is alright and some of the music slaps - but it's hardly memorable. Amber is a big music nerd and mentions some specific songs throughout the game, but these are rarely, if ever, heard - I would assume that licensing issues caused this.

The art in the game is also good, but hardly memorable. I praise the artists who drew this, but it's on par with many other Visual... Read more »
