The game's story is a charming blend of slice-of-life and anime tropes, centered around helping a sushi restaurant and engaging with quirky town residents. While many players appreciate the cozy atmosphere and character interactions, the narrative is criticized for being incomplete and occasionally buggy, leading to frustrations with quest progression. Overall, the story is enjoyable but marred by technical issues and a lack of depth in side quests, leaving some players wanting more.
“Heart-warming game, characters and the story are pretty cozy if you are well acquainted with anime tropes.”
“It has a good and unique story, where you're just helping a sushi restaurant reopen while also lending a hand to the various townsfolk as you get to know them. It has memorable characters, various extra quests and mini-games to play, and even though it has a low-poly aesthetic, they put effort into making it actually look good.”
“Sushi Ben is a plucky heartfelt love letter to slice of life anime spliced with an 80's underdog rag-tag to riches story delivered in a comic-y minigame 'em up 3D visual novel format.”
“I thought I was buying a full game, and midway through the story, the game displays a 'more coming soon' message and plays credits.”
“And the story does feel incomplete, ending on a rather anti-climactic and inconclusive note.”
“The story is apparently incomplete, which is a surprise to me and a bit of a turn-off, but I am looking forward to more of Sushi Ben and to see what comes next.”
