I just finished the three houses (not done with the 4th play through though) and I have to say, giving this anything over an 8 is too generous. The way they handled some story elements was really bad, like rushed AAA levels of bad. To the point where it brings down the entire experience. This was my most hyped game for 2019 (alonside TCSIII) and it failed a little bit to meet my expectations. Still a great game though, but imo the score is a little too high.

Honestly, I'd like to call fake on this one. it wouldn't be an healthy thing to begin with. The game was released only 10 days ago !

Uhmm, the game isn't that long... That 80 hour per house was pretty exaggerated. My first clear was 36 hours and that was me trying to look at guides and trying to save everyone. Second and third one went a lot faster since I didn't have to go through the unnecessary stuff like looking at their bonding events or roaming around the monastery. I'd have beaten this game much faster if the switch didn't have to die every two hours (and before you ask, why not just plug it into the TV, I play Three houses like I play VN's, with headphones.) Look at it this way, a VN called Rio Reincarnation was released on July 23, according to VNDB it's a 50+ hour game, I finished that before Three Houses came out on the 26th at midnight.
