Story-related stages should be auto-playable, and let's make them easier to clear.  Is there any reason to make it so damn difficult that you can only clear the stage in the video below by using manual control with Elvira in a specific way? Not a single user wants to rack their brain on things like this. And look at the YouTube video comments (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHiAidYzISc). The public sentiment is completely ruined. The person planning this really has lost their touch.  

 


The summer photo event also has completely ruined public sentiment. I think the mini-game itself is fine, but locking background photos behind a 90% or higher condition really makes me think the person who planned it has lost their touch. Look at the Reddit post criticizing the mini-game; the event is a total disaster (https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicSeven/comments/1uuk29n/this_event_is_so_irritating/)

 It's truly a talent to ruin public sentiment with *** event planning even when you give away a lot through the Dash Pass. I really think the person planning the events needs to be replaced. And stop releasing tile and rhythm games every now and then; not a single user likes these, so please stop. With so many mobile games pouring out, just thinking about Epic Seven's mini-games/side stories makes me not want to play because it's so frustrating. Like Blue Archive or Monster Guild, just release stories as stories and battle stages as battle stages.

I'm grateful for the Legendary Avatar, really...  I haven't had any major complaints until now.

But I've been using a Legendary Avatar I got through synthesis a year and a half ago,

and now when I pull one, I get the exact same one...?? Even though I only have one??

Out of all those countless Legendary Avatars... this just isn't right...

What's your favorite activity to unwind after a long/stressful day? For me, it's probably watching TV.

The data world, locked for unknown reasons,

is currently the subject of intense research to restore it to its original state PLATiNA :: LAB

Join researchers Iring, Bambi, and Cake here

to face various DBs and uncover the secrets of the world!

[🚨Flash Effect Warning - PLATiNA :: LAB contains many flashing effects that may trigger photosensitive epilepsy or photosensitive seizures🚨]

-

Hello!

I'm Moonhee Jo from the 3rd Stove Crew 😽

Today, for all of you here, I've brought a game that you'll definitely❗❗

find perfectly suited to your tastes.

It's a combination of cute anime girlsand authentic rhythm gamegameplay.

As someone who really loves both anime girl games and rhythm games, whenever I browse Stove, I find myself searching,

'Is there a game where I can properly enjoy a rhythm game with cute female characters?' 

at least once.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a game that hit my radar...

It is PLATiNA :: LAB!

Isn't the shortcut icon just too cute? 💖

PLATiNA :: LAB, which provided 1000% visual and auditory satisfaction!!

Let's start the game review right away ✨

-

The world of data is always unpredictable! Rhythm play with squishy DBs!

🎵 Genre: Rhythm, Action

🎵 Price: 34,900 KRW

🎵 Release Date: 2025.04.11

🎵 Store Link: Shortcut

Perhaps because there are many songs and diverse characters, the installation size was quite heavy compared to other Stove games!

The recommended installation space is 20GB, so please make sure you have enough storage space before installing😊

-

The start of the game! 🎮

As soon as I launched the game, the first thing that caught my eye was the clean and cute UI.

Before diving into the game, we should decide on a nickname for the cute DBs to call us, right? 😎

It seems like this game calls the player 'Decoder'!

I'll start playing with my usual nickname, Moony 🥰

-

When the game turns on, this main screen greets you first!

At first, the DB selection and single-player functions are open.

First, in DB selection, you can choose a cute partner to play with,

and in single-player, you can properly enjoy the rhythm game! 🎵

Shall we take a look at the locked features too?

First, Research Log is content where you can acquire new DBs!

Fortunately, you can unlock it immediately by completing a light mission of playing 3 single-player games.

On the other hand, the Online and Play Data features are still in preparation!

I'm already looking forward to seeing them in future updates😊

-

When you enter the DB selection window, you can meet the default character, Iring.

There were already so many cute DBs by default, but the characters available via DLC were all equally charming!!

As I played the game, I grew more attached to them, and I started thinking, 'Am I going to end up buying the DLC too...?'

You just can't resist cute anime girls, right? 😌

You can play the rhythm game with the DBs you've acquired through the game,

and every time you get a new DB, the selection window changes from black and white to color.

(Personally, I love these collection elements so much... 😋)

If you click on the profile card, you can also check the settings for the DB!!

The phrase 'Forced leave of absence through physical restraint' for Iring is quite impressive 

Something seems a bit unusual, doesn't it...? 😂

-

While browsing the DBs, I found a character that really hit my taste.

It's Cake!! 💖

I love the color pink so much, so I was captivated the moment I saw her...

(Thanks to that, she proudly took over the thumbnail for today's review 😎)

Today's goal is acquiring Cake!

The cards for unacquired characters also include how to unlock them, so I could immediately check how to get her.

Since Cake is one of the main characters, I can acquire her just by clearing Research Log Part A.

It doesn't seem as difficult as I thought, right...? 👀

Then now,

let's head out to get Cake! ✨

-

This is the single-player mode screen! 🎵

At first, I saw the DLC-exclusive songs right in the main view, so I was a bit flustered, thinking, 'Huh...? Where are the default songs?'😂

But don't worry!

There were so many songs to enjoy with just the base game that there was absolutely no shortage of content.

First, I thought I should find the settings that fit my hands, so I loosened up with the song at the very front!

And the result was...

It's really because of the unfamiliar key settings and equipment.

Wait, I played on an LG Gram, so it's not my skill, it's the equipment's fault. Key layout is the life of a rhythm game....

I struggled because I wasn't used to the key settings, but the biggest hurdle was definitely the specs issue...

When I played on my LG Gram, the frame drops were more severe than I thought, so it was a bit disappointing throughout the play.

Looking at other reviews, some people occasionally mention frame drops in the game itself... 🤔

However, since the influence of my playing environment cannot be ruled out, I plan to check it again while playing on another PC later!

(As a result of playing on a gaming laptop while recording the video! It turned out to be a Gram spec issue.

It seems it would be a bit difficult to play on a regular laptop ㅜ.ㅜ )

Below are the minimum and recommended specs for the game, so please refer to them if you are considering playing😊

-

Haha... anyway!

I successfully adjusted it to my favorite rhythm game key settings😎

PLATiNA :: LAB adopts the traditional note-falling play style.

I liked that it supports not only 4-line and 6-line choices but also various difficulty levels, allowing you to play according to your preference.

Also, in addition to key settings, I could freely adjust detailed options from polling rate to judgment line height,

and note falling speed!!

If you usually have your own rhythm game settings, I don't think you'll have much trouble adapting.

After finishing the key settings and playing again, I successfully achieved an A rank!

(I'm not bad at rhythm games, I was just unfairly treated earlier...)

After finishing a total of three single-player games like this, the Research Log tab on the main screen is unlocked.

-

In the Research Log, you can acquire new DBs by clearing various missions!

The moment to bring Cake home is getting closer and closer...💖

The first research to proceed with is,

#0-1 Booting Up Part A!

In this chapter, you can acquire a total of three DBs: the cute DBs Bambi, Cake, and Label.

My goal is only Cake...! 😎

I'll start the research quickly to recruit Cake ✨

-

Except for the very first step, 'Clear any song once',

the Research Log gives you 2 missions at each stage! 

You don't need to clear both missions; you can move on to the next stage by completing just one of them, so I was able to proceed without any burden 😊

Through the first research, I first recruited the cute glasses-wearing character Bambi!

My goal is still Cake, but isn't Bambi also way cuter than I thought...? 👓💙

-

After acquiring Bambi, the goal approached right in front of me faster than I thought.

That's because the clear reward for the next research is Cake! 💖

When you clear the game, the next research mission and the acquirable DB are displayed at the bottom left of the score window.

Do you see it? 👀

If you clear Strawberry Cake with the Bambi you just recruited,

you can finally recruit today's goal, Cake!

I quickly went and proceeded with the research with Bambi.

-

And finally...!!

Cake acquisition success!! 💖

Pink twin-tails with subtle gradient details,

plus the research lab coat and the sweet cake she's holding just like her name...

Isn't she too cute? 🥹

As soon as I acquired her, I ran to the DB selection window and spent a long time just looking at Cake😂

In the DB selection window, you can also interact with the characters by clicking on them with the mouse!

You can also hear exclusive voice lines for each character, which made their charm stand out even more.

(Cake is the best💖)

-

As you play the game, you can also steadily build up your affinity with the DBs you like!

It is said that you can receive special gifts as your affinity increases.

I'm already looking forward to what kind of gift Cake will prepare for me 🥹

For now, to celebrate acquiring Cake today,

I'm going to go enjoy just one more round of the rhythm game with Cake! 💖

-

 Gameplay video of <i think i think too much> with Cake!

Overall Review ⭐

PLATiNA :: LAB was a game that captured both the fun of cute DBs and an authentic rhythm game!

Whenever I browsed Stove, 'Is there a rhythm game with lots of cute anime girls?' I thought,

and I felt like I finally found a game that perfectly suited my taste🥹

The fun of enjoying the rhythm game, as well as the process of unlocking DBs one by one and meeting new characters, was much more enjoyable than I thought!!

In particular, the time I spent proceeding with the research one by one to recruit Cake was the most memorable part of this play 💖

After all... you just can't resist cute anime girls😌

✔️ Those who like authentic rhythm games

✔️ Those who like cute anime girl characters

✔️ Those who like collection elements where you gather characters one by one

If any of these three apply to you, I'm sure you'll be satisfied if you play it at least once!

-

And...

This review was just the Cake recruitment operation😎

In the next Rhythm Game Lab Part 2, I'll return with the journey of unlocking all the DBs in PLATiNA :: LAB!

Will I be able to collect all the DBs, starting with my favorite, Cake...?

Please look forward to the next episode! 💖
