  It is full of mouth-wateringly vivid descriptions of food. The art is fantastic and the soundtrack is as cute as the drawings. Strawberry Vinegar is a game that knows its priorities. It might not have the most hands-on approach to gameplay, but if you like bizarre and adorable stories, you’ll have a great time with this one.

  Rather than ever becoming heartfelt or affecting, everyone is just this wild caricature which keeps any of the emotional turns from really mattering to players. There’s nothing wrong with a fluffy, simplistic story, but it’s a shame that it rarely manages to actually capture genuine interest because of how it plays so closely to trope conventions. Play the game through once, and if you feel differently, perhaps you’ll find other pathways to enjoy as well.

  Telling a tale as sweet as its graphics, the aptly named Strawberry Vinegar is a positivity-boosting read, with food and friendship at its core. Living with a demon is far from easy, but Rie learns to live with, and even like her, and ends up playing a special role in her life that changes it for the better.

  Despite the handful of drawbacks, if you like love themed visual novels and appreciate delicious CGs of food, then Strawberry Vinegar on Xbox One is good enough to satiate your taste buds.

  Strawberry Vinegar might not be as emotive as the previous creations of Ebi-Hime, but it's entertaining nonetheless. The things that it does well? It's cheerful, well-written, oh so sweet and cute, has some heart-warming scenes, and is full of pictures of food that look so tasty that's it's hard not to experience a bit of stomach rumbling after a couple of minutes. The things that it lacks? Being the harmless easy-going tale that it is, it won't exactly shake the foundations of the genre. It's good… and that's just about it.
