I'm just writing the review now since I don't think I'll finish it for a while (I'll explain why in a sec).

This game is pretty good! I'm dead serious, this stupid virgin porn game is good. I am an avid enjoyer of the original HuniePop, and this game was also really solid. Admitting I like HuniePop is a little rough, since it's literally HuniePop, but the puzzle solving core gameplay is genuinely so addicting that I almost don't care about anything else. I also think it's foolish to act as if reward for solving a fun puzzle being hot anime women naked isn't just a cherry on top.

Now, there are improvements this game makes to the original, I think the idea of a "double date" is neat and adds a nice layer of strategy. But...this is where I get into the reasoning as to why I don't think I can complete this one.

It's. So. Fucking. Hard. The original HuniePop wasn't a cakewalk, but it was a pretty nice challenge that felt fair and challenging. Here, it genuinely feels entirely luck based, and later on in the game you need up to 10 absolutely huge moves to actually win. Especially because this game added a new mechanic called "baggage," a mechanic that really only affects Hard mode from what I hear (the mode I played). Basically, each girl has things linked to their past that effect how you play the game and tackle the challenges. While, at first this mechanic seemed really cool and added another extra layer of strategy, it's actually just incredibly obnoxious and makes everything feel unfair; as well as making misfortune entirely unavoidable. I made it 74% of the way, and I haven't passed a date in around 15 tries. So, for now, I am dropping the game and leaving it as is. If I ever return, I think I'm gonna knock the difficulty down to Normal, since it seems almost impossible on hard mode. But to be honest, I'd probably just return to the original HuniePop anyways.

Not as bad as all my friends were saying it was though, it's a pretty novel sequel that had some cool ideas. I'm sorry that I enjoyed the porn game and had a lot to say, it's fun and I'm tired of pretending it's not

Anyways they're lucky I don't give this game a 1/10 considering they cut my best girl Nikki from the game

Better than the first game visually, and the updates it makes to certain characters personality is genuinely interesting and makes them seem much more fully realized, but god, the double date mechanic is unbearable in my opinion. It makes some of the dates absolutely unplayable, the way certain characters negative traits will compound to absolutely ruin your chances of doing anything to win, to the extent that multiple matches were so frustrating, I figured there couldn't be any way in hell a human play tested this because if they did, they would have realized that they shouldve taken this concept back to the drawing board and started over.

This game is kinda disappointing. Ok so the one thing I DID enjoy the game was that some of the characters were memorable. The interactions were more interesting, the web of characters being connected was really fun to piece, and Jessie is just trying her best. I think this game leans a bit too much into campiness with its scenarios and some characters. WHiel I do think it did introduce some really cool strategic elements into the game, like having items matter a lot more into date composition, and baggage did bring another element into the setup, I just didn't find the game as fun as the first one. I was especially disappointed with the music not grabbing my attention too. Oh well, I still have the babes like Lailani
