    If you’re OK with dealing with text issues—or will speed through too fast to notice—then Collar X Malice is going to hook you. The themes may be disturbing to some, and the M rating the ESRB gave it is definitely deserved, but it left me thinking for a long time after I hit the title screen for the last time. Sometimes, that’s just what I need.

    I feel it’s the perfect introductory Otome game because the mystery is interesting enough to appeal to casual visual novel fans, and Otome fans can enjoy both that and the great cast of guys. Takeru is the best of course, but you’ll just have to see that for yourself.

    Collar x Malice is a amazing game for both newcomers to the otome genre and long time fans with its beautiful art and 'fleshed'out characters, that are all have unique personalities. With a more sinister story line than usual otome games that pulls you in as you discover the truth about the X-DAY incident/murders along with the past of each of the boys as you question what is true justice The game itself plays out pretty easily with not a overcrowd of choices that either feel useless or more difficult to get the good ending, nor are there too little that one feels they don't get any play or choice in how the story goes. Making it great to newcomers of this style and gives each of the choices more meaning. Overall the game was a great choice to have ported to the switch and has to be one of the more popular/well know otome games that deserves it's recognition
