Professional reviews from gaming critics
Our World is Ended may struggle with its tone and pacing out its plot in a satisfying way but its extremely eccentric cast of characters and free-wheeling approach to humor hold it up enough to deliver a fairly unexpected story that may appeal to those looking for something a little different from the norm.

Our World is Ended is a kitschy, sci-fi visual novel about a group of video game developers who accidentally warp reality through augmented reality technology. Under certain conditions, the team known as Judgment Seven blends the real world of Tokyo’s Asakusa district with the worlds of its video games, and existing in that space may or may not be a battle of survival. In the meantime, as protagonist Reiji and his co-workers figure out what the heck is going on, they spend a lot of time yelling about boobs.
Our World is Ended feels insecure in its own story, and seems at odds with itself. It's hard to take it seriously when it can't take itself seriously.
As it stands now, it’s impossible for me to recommend Our World Is Ended. The older version of the game we’re getting is missing a lot of quality of life improvements. Little things in the text set off my editor senses. The plot quickly derails and is so overbearing with the focus on fanservice that I wanted to scream. Maybe PQube should try again with the Judgment 7 version next year, but I’m not holding my breath for it.
Our World Is Ended is a beautiful looking visual novel that fails to live up to its promise. While it contains some enjoyable elements, its niche humour and oftimes uncomfortable erotic tones narrows its appeal severely. If a misunderstanding involving the sexual harassment of a 13 year old doesn't sound amusing to you, then chances are you won’t enjoy this particular game.
