Ratings and reviews

Very fun little game. Definitely doesn't take itself seriously, so keep that in mind going in. This game is lighthearted and does some original things with the CoG format. Great low-pressure game, although this one isn't everyone's cup of tea. Again, if you're looking for an immersive gaming experience, look at other CoGs; however, if you want something unique and fun, A Sensei's Story is a great way to pass a couple afternoons.

Just want to say, I love it so far. If the setting is in Japan, that's an instant download from me. The romance is a little quick, for me; there was no "dating" outside of the trip or more interactions, but this story is worth it. And I love the Final Fantasy reference as well as the anime references. I didn't sleep a wink, and I'm still up and posting this review. Like I said before, "so far" since I haven't finish yet.

A nice break from the high-stakes CoG books. I found the game hilarious from time to time, you really have to throw yourself into these stupid jokes, however. The more you allow yourself to relax and have fun, the better. It's nice for one playthrough and an afternoon, since the character lack real depth and the plot is kinda non-existent, to be actually invested in a secondary playthrough, unless you're going for the achievement grind. After that, you heard all jokes and it's not funny anymore
