[PlayStation 5] Review: Girlfriend From Hell

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, “Girlfriend from Hell” by Sometimes You and That Guy’s Games makes its debut on PlayStation 5. It’s a fresh take on arcade 2D puzzles. Let’s dive into the details in our review of this intriguing game!

In “Girlfriend from Hell,” you step into the shoes of Mia, a woman head over heels for Haruto. They’ve been together for five years, and she’s been dreaming of the day they would tie the knot. Sadly, what seemed like a fairy tale turns out to be a toxic relationship that Mia was blind to. She catered to Haruto’s every whim, but it became painfully clear how one-sided their relationship was when he rejected her marriage proposal. His excuse? Video games were more important. Fed up, Mia decides it’s time to give Haruto a taste of his own medicine and bring a little chaos into his life.

The game kicks off with a tutorial level, easing you into the mechanics. While you don’t control Mia directly, you maneuver the camera using the left analog stick, while the right stick guides your cursor. With a press of the X button, items can be added to your inventory. Collecting and strategically placing items around the house, you set up pranks for Haruto. The L1 and R1 buttons help you toggle through your inventory. Once you select an item, guide the cursor to where you want it placed and press Square to set your trap.

Now, what does Mia have in store for Haruto after the rejection fiasco? Imagine positioning a bear trap by his room’s doorstep or lacing his cereal with laxatives for a surprise breakfast. Leave marbles on the kitchen floor, ensuring he takes a tumble on his way to the fridge. How about a spring under the mattress, ready to send him flying? The possibilities are endless and wickedly fun!

Completing the game offers plenty of incentives, not the least of which is a full trophy list featuring a coveted Platinum trophy. The accolades are divided into 2 Bronze, 4 Silver, and 10 Gold trophies, each unlocked by completing levels 1 through 8 and executing a repertoire of pranks. The trophy list is pretty straightforward, ensuring that dedicated players can nab that Platinum with relative ease.

So, for just $4.99, “Girlfriend from Hell” is a steal. It’s a quirky, entertaining game perfect for spicing up your PlayStation 5 library right before Valentine’s. Armed with a mischievous plan, can you ensure Haruto regrets his priorities? It’s definitely a game you won’t want to miss.

In summary, this review is based on a PlayStation 5 copy of “Girlfriend from Hell” provided by Sometimes You. Enjoy the chaos and scheme wisely!
