Description: The second VR of Takagi-san is here! In assuming the role of the main character, Nishikata, not only will you have the honor of being the target of Takagi-san’s affection(!?!), you’ll engage in a new VR animation experience by becoming a part of the comic series’ world. Go heads up in poker with Takagi-san, go fishing together, and more! In addition to popular scenes from the original series, Teasing Master Takagi-san VR features original scenarios you can only experience here. If you ever wanted to trade places with Nishikata and get teased by Takagi-san, this is the animation for you!

Review: ‘からかい上手の高木さんVR 2学期’ (translated as: Mr. Takagi 2nd semester) is a Japanese text and voice game in which you play a series of rather boring mini-games with some anime girl. You will be jumping, pulling down on a hand pressure machine and all other manner of “gym” and sports related games. OK, so some of the graphics are OK I suppose and I was never going to fully understand the storyline not speaking Japanese, but I can’t see that said storyline making up for the lack of content here. For £10.99 you get less than a single hours gameplay! Maybe I am missing the point of this, but I personally can’t recommend this unless the price drops down to a fraction of what it currently is.
