You'll always get mixed results with them. The Joy-Con controllers are the blood and bones of this game. I'll put it bluntly, the motion controls are not good. Senran Kagura Reflexions is nothing more than a game that'll have you waving your Joy-Con around in one minigame to mixed results. You wanna shove a massager (read 'vibrator') on this girl's chest till her cheeks turn red or not punk? Games I review usually have storylines, they've got some varied gameplay options, characters, etc. does this guy even like waifus? Well, of course, I do silly. I found the photo mode to be more entertaining than the actual gameplay loop. There's a photo mode where you can pose Asuka and put her in different locations. I could forgive my gripes if there was literally anything else to do in Reflexions that's enjoyable but there isn't. I almost feel like it's unfair giving Reflexions a score as it's clearly a title meant to pander to a very specific audience. It's mundane, it's meandering, and it's not fun in the slightest. If she has a good time she'll reward you with love and more minigames.

Senran Kagura Reflexion's gameplay loop works like this: rub Asuka's hands, rub Asuka's body, then play a short massaging game. I almost forgot to mention that if touching isn't really your thing, you're graciously gifted a water gun, so spray away friends! Is any of this coherently designed? I don't really know, sometimes she's expressing joy and other times she isn't and it's totally a trip to even think I'm doing this. Where does she want to be touched? I have no idea, I'm just poking away, swinging my Joy-Con around in a room by myself contemplating all of my previous life choices. Now I need to touch Asuka all over the place. BAM! The game hits you with a vibrator massaging minigame. It's a lot of pressure but once you come out on top you'll breathe a sigh of relief. Can you deal with the pressure of smacking the sides of Asuka's thighs? She's counting on you. There's a point in Senran Kagura Reflexions that will separate the boys from the men.
