Ever 17 The Out of Infinity Review Pros:

Decent Anime like graphics.
2.6GB download size.
48 save slots.
Auto quick save options – each selection, each scene, each selection and scene, and off.
Text settings – message display speed, auto mode delay, and skip mode.
Voice settings – sync voice, and skip voice.
I don’t think the controls could be any simpler, just press one button when asked, and with auto mode on, it’s only every now and then you interact with the game.
Visual novel gameplay.
Auto mode lets the conversations go without you pressing a button.
Best played as a handheld with headphones.
Quick save/load, and save/load when you want.
You can bring up a text log of the conversations.
Japanese voice with English text.
The game revolves around multiple choice questions and answers.
Great looking locations.
The font is easy to read and is a good size, which is lucky as they have no real options for that.
There is a lot more voice in this game than in the previous one in the bundle.
This game has a lot more in terms of locations and art, which made it a lot easier to stay engaged with.

Ever 17 The Out of Infinity Review Cons:

You cannot remap the controls or change them in any way.
I’m not sure if it is meant that way, but the text to voice is very sporadic with sentences stopping voice mid way.
I found this visual novel to take a while for the story to unfold and for me to get into it.
It’s not great that so much of the game has no voice and then some has so much, I don’t see why it’s like that.
No English voice choice.
Large chunks of the game have no interaction choices.
If you were not hot on the genre before, then this will do little to change that.
When using auto mode on the big screen, the game still dims.
