Kaiju Princess series has done it again. This is probably one of my all-time favourite H Games, because the gameplay loop is always so simple, yet so addictively heartwarming. All the princess in the series as well, have always been a treat and Poochi Q is probably the best of them all yet, I can't count how many times I actually laughed by her cute antics as the story progress.

Came for the sex and nudity, stayed for the surprisingly heartwarming interactions and story between the players and Poochi Q.

There was other Idol Games I've played before called Idol Manager and I feel this one came across as much more beginner's friendly. As well as more things to do than just waiting for the bar to fill in and turning it into a clicker game like Idol Manager.

The narrative was great, the girls have each unique personalities, and the gameplay loops are surprisingly addictive. Granted we only see the first 6 weeks of the game so there's nothing much happening, but I do love what I seen so far.

I can't wait to play the full game!

Slow, tedious, boring, and they basically took everything that was great about POE and turned it into this garbage mesh up of Souls-like game ARPG no one asked and somehow managed to make the loot system also trash. I ran a dungeon with absolutely 0 drops for a full 90 minutes. Just plain not fun.

They keep saying end-game is where the game really shines, but when it's a slog to get there, no one will experience endgame. Diablo IV finally learned this and made early levelling faster, even Last Epoch knows this and made early levelling faster. Who actually asked for this game to be a Dark Soul mashup? I want an ARPG because I sucked at Souls games, so I avoid those games or anything that pretended to be one.

This is souls-game with one of the worst ARPG mechanic I've ever seen. Also probably the first ARPG I've played you felt weaker as you level up since your skill and skill upgrades also tied to RNG loot drop that's never in your favour. What a bad design.

I can't wait for their smooth brain defenders to shower me with their jester points for this.

Uninstalled.

One of the most frustrating garbage strategy game I've ever played. There's absolutely 0 strategy required and the AI inbalance made it even more frustrating.

If you're not a smooth-brained imbecile who calls everything "woke" and somehow forgot that Dragon Age franchise has always been an ally to every community out there, this is absolutely the best Bioware game yet.

Tight combat, 0 bugs, 0 crashing, excellent dialogues, one of the BEST companions ever created with the narrative to fit their background, and the charming narrative old Bioware was known for. It does take a while before the game opens up into a proper RPG, but once it does, it never let go.

Mass Effect clearly influence the gameplay loop with recruiting your companions, make their faction stronger, make their bond stronger, all in the hope of your companions surviving the final suicide mission of the game.

Primer and Detonator combat combo was also such a joy to play and absolutely inspired from the Mass Effect series as well. It allows you to rotate your party members to make sure you bring the right combination for your own class.

Narrative wise, this is absolutely the strongest Dragon Age yet. The game leans heavily on your class and background factions as an RP aspect. That made you as the player gets really involved in the dialogues as the world evolved based on who you are and who you chose to be on character's creation. Additionally, the branching dialogues based on your different class and factions made the game has a very high replayable value.

It might now have the same level as the ultimate RPG that is Baldur's Gate 3, but as long as you're not a smooth-brained imbecile clown who called everything they don't like "woke", this is absolutely Bioware's best game yet and deserves its place in RPG pantheon up there.

This is Bioware at its best. Welcome back, Dragon Age!

Himegashima Island is probably one of the best H-games I've played even if you don't use the 18+ patch.

That is absolutely rare from Kagura Games published title because their games tend to cut the 18+ content and often made the narrative flows differently. Himegashima Island however, managed to integrate an excellent pixel-arts sex scene and weave them naturally into the narrative. Yes, you can still get a heartwarming experiences without the 18+ patch, but the extra contents just made the game even more charming.

Every characters in this game are very well written with charming traits and hillarious dialogues. I can't tell you how many times I found myself laughing at Kokomi's antics, (and mostly because he's such a blank canvas that everything excites him in a very adorable way), or the mother daughter reversed dynamics of Asuka and Marisa. The fisherman's charming daughter, Ayumi that is a closeted shotacon but deep down managed to acts as a big sister for all the younger kids in the island. But these moments lull you into a false sense of security before the game hits you with a lot of mature dialogues about understanding, friendship, love, family, and other challenges the inhabitant of the islands are experiencing. The English translation absolutely conveys the message Fushidaratei was trying to deliver, while also masterfully hiding the deep narrative behind a mask of humor and sex acts.

Lastly, I saw a review complaining about the game "time system" and how they felt rushed about it. I don't know what game that moron is playing as Himegashima Island doesn't really have a deadline system. Yes, at the start you can only roam the island till 19:00 and you're not allowed to go out at night. But eventually you are able to go outside and your exploration time are extended to midnight. Plot points and events have no deadline and you can trigger it at your own leisure. There is nothing to be missed as any event or plot points that you didn't have the time to do on the day, will be there again on the next day. Even if you decide not to progress the story for a bit to farm some Yen or grind Bug Battle, the events and stories will be there waiting for you when you're ready. I don't know how stupid you'd be to complain about "time management" of the game when there is absolutely none of it.

Himegashima Island is a narrative marvel with an excellent pixel-based arts, not just for the sex scene, but on regular dialogues and event interactions as well. It's well written, well crafted, and a hidden gem you wouldn't regret buying.

10/10

Honestly, another typical cash grab Korean MMO from NCSoft. You seen one of them, you seen all of them.

All pretty particles with very little substances, and somehow still poorly optimized that a 4090 based system still struggled to maintain a solid 60FPS at 1440p.

Garbage. At this point if you still buy in their business model, you're an absolute moron. Watch their smooth-brained defenders showering this review with Jester just because they're incapable of knowing that they are once again being taken advantage of and have purchased the high tier early access package for a Free2Play game like a moron they are.

Bring it on, Imbeciles. Give me your jester point and prove me right.

I really wanted to like this game, I do.

It's hard not to compare this game with the masterpiece that was Summer and Winter Memories, and in one aspect, the pixel arts in this game is slightly better than Memories games. The women are pretty well proportioned and the animations were great.

The downside is, there are just too little of them compared to memories games. And some of the events are confusing to unlock. For example, I maxed out Aoi's route on my first playthrough and while I unlocked all her H-Scenes, I didn't unlock any of the "begging" feature" that should've happened at Heart 3 and 5. That just made this game feels incomplete and seriously lacking.

And it's not as bad if it has another gameplay mechanic like Himegashima Island (which was another charming pixel-based H games where both the story and sex scenes are much much better than this). But no, your day is pretty much spent just clicking all over the map with a faint hope of opening either a story event or a sex event. It doesn't take long for me to get bored of it and just fast forward through the text to get through to the next scenes.

Narrative wise, it's pretty good and meatier than Memories games. Aoi ending tugs the heartstring a little bit, but I purchased this expecting another H games like Memories games.

It's not. If you like kinda deeper narrative game with SOME H-scenes, grab it. Otherwise, skip this and maybe the dev will patch additional H contents because right now, it's absolutely lacking and really disappointing. Grab Memories games or both False Myth and Himegashima Island game. You'd get a better experience. If it's the dating sim aspect you're looking for, you're much better off spending your time and cash with Dokyussei instead. Just make sure to download the adult patch for that game too.

One of the reviews here mentioned that the sexual contents are on par with Memories game; that must've been a joke because it's really not. This game does not hold any candle whatsoever with Memories games on sexual contents and the freedom given to the players.

All this game managed to do is making me wanting to replay Winter Memories yet again.

I can't believe I never reviewed this game.

If you loved Ambrosia and Enishia game, you'll love Celesphonia. Even without the restoration H Patch, this is a full fledged RPG with one of the best combat system, crafting mechanic, story, and basically anything you can think of that made this an RPG. With the restoration patch from Kagura however, Celesphonia transforms into one of THE best H-Games I've played with one of the art any H-Games. This studio really knows what they're doing, so just grab it.

I also love the fact that the corruption route actually made Celesphonia a powerful character in her own right. There are a lot of "Dark Side" equipments and interesting build you can do for NG+ to make her hits like a freight train.

Came for the cute H art style, stayed for a fully fleshed JRPG I've played.

Note: Someone complained the grind on the battle and end game. There are literally 3 equipment slots at end-game you can craft that instantly win battles for you with no penalty to exp or item. Sit down.

This is is it. This is the one.

I wish-listed this game after completing Double Room of Happiness which was Connection's first game I played. I was so charmed and enthralled by that game that I absolutely was looking forward to this title when they announced it.

And so far that expectations have been thoroughly exceeded. This is the best H-Game from Connection and Mango Party Yet.

The game premise is pretty simple, this is a semi-animated VN game with a light management gameplay. You are a young guy who is in his 20 that was somehow roped into being a butler for 3 sisters who happens to be the daughters of the company president you work for. It's up to you to manage all their needs and wants, as well as unlock their stories and events.

I really appreciate the shift in tone compared to the darker and more depressing Double Room as this is as casual and as refreshing as an ice cold tea in the summer. There's no deadline on how you unlock the sisters events, and all your actions are only limited by your daily energy.

Each of the girls were absolutely well written, with rich characters, personality, and god-tier voice actings that made each of them comes alive. Paired that with the beautifully drawn characters and pleasant-on-the eyes UI colour tones that made the entire game experience is such a joy to play.

Of course, you're here for the meat of the game, this is an adult-game after all. Don't worry, this is a Connection's game, so the sex-scenes are well animated, well written, and uncensored.

This game is absolutely more than that though. This is absolutely a slice-of-life heartwarming story about a guy who suddenly had his life uprooted and ended up having the best summer of his life. Spend your days getting closer to each women and somehow get enthralled and charmed with each of them again and again as you unlock more of their personal stories.

This is Mango Party's best game yet, this is Connection's firing in all cylinders.

This is Summer Clover, the perfect and refreshing symphony to greet your summer with.

Just buy it.

PS: Ignore this game time as it didn't carry over my demo play time.
PPS: Yes, you can play the entire game with one hand.
