Maybe not, but it's undoubtedly one of the most important titles in the entire VN medium.

ost is god tier, the best one out of any vidya if not any modern piece of entertainment
stoy feel a bit rushed but it's still great
you shag your daughter who is also your mother or something like that
solid 9/10

I appreciate its innovation being responsible for VN's as we know them, but the writing and story have aged horribly.

It is really good, and most of what it has influenced has failed to go and improve the foundation it has laid. That is, any visual novel made after it doesn't push the medium further than it did, which is a real shame and has lead to the genre stagnating. Hell, even Nasu has complained about the decline of visual novels despite, and that's coming from fucking Nasu.
Honestly, YU-NO is fantastic but I think people in the West underrate and underestimate the influence Kanno's other works, especially Desire. All of the most popular visual novels, if they don't take a major element from YU-NO and base their story around it, take if from one of his other games.
Umemoto was the master of FM synth, nothing else sounds quite like what he's able to get those old Yamaha chips to do. Also:

It was that good.
Just play it, it has a english translation. Two english translations in fact if you count the remake.
I can't get into eve burst error no matter how many times I try though, and that is rated even higher than YU-NO in many places

That's like, 15% of the game.

Muv Luv is considered the apex VN now. YU-NO isn't even in the top 20.

Can you elaborate? I don't think I will play this game any time soon, but this sounds interesting. How did it revolutionize the genre?
Aaron Williams
It's neat, but I'm not really a VN guy so I can't really speak to the context and what a modern VN enthusiast might think of it. The best description I've heard of it is that by modern standards it's probably too puzzle focused if you just want a VN and it's too much of a VN of you want a puzzle focused adventure style game. The kind of venn diagram segment that those two types of playstyles appeals to appeals to might be pretty niche.

That anime adaptation did no favors

reading muv-luv alt right now and having a blast

I dunno man, this game from the same company is so influential that no sane modern romance VN devs dare to hide "controversial" contents without advertising it to the people first.
