2012 edition. It’s quite interesting to see what visual novels were popular 10 years ago.
Its good to see YU-NO from the PC98 still being recommended. I just really wish there was a version without the sex scenes. Its hard to recommend the game to VN virgins because of it, and not a single soul who likes YU-NO likes the game because of the sex scenes. Its the rest of the game that is absolutely phenomenal.
And yes, I know the remake censors them, but it also manages to destroy nearly every other aspect of the game. It accomplishes one step forward but also manages to be the absolute worst version to experience.
This makes me feel so old, I remember seeing these charts on /v/ some 15 years ago. In fact I discovered my first VN through one of these.
This chart is the reason I played Yume Miru Kusuri first.
