A truly astounding bit of video game art and a true reflection on something that is important to understand about the Japanese culture and mindset.

Clunky exploration, unsatisfying gameplay and half-baked survival mechanics that fail to complement any of the positive aspects of this game.

Heavily flawed with too many irritating parts to suffer past.

If you can look past the aesthetics of Disaster Report 4, there's a bunch of fun to be had escaping the broken city and helping out the residents as you struggle to survive and hopefully make your way home.

In paring down the campy charm of the series before it, Disaster Report 4's more serious tone often crumbles like the very buildings you find yourself running away from.

There are still glimpses of the original's charm, and the potential of an earthquake-surviving simulator is made clear, but this tonally awkward, disaster of a game doesn't get close to realising it.

VR mode is okay, but I'm not going to sugarcoat it; the game itself is bad. At best, it's one of the worst visual novels I have ever played, and at worst it's one of the most unfocused scrambling of mechanics I have ever seen in a video game. Read Review

Whilst this does do a great job of setting the atmosphere for a destroyed city, there are some out-of-place story sequences.
