Uh oh, this is awkward.
I think DDLC is awful, it was my first VN and I really enjoyed it as an edgy teen but time has not been kind to the base game or my opinion of it. I came back to it because it's been about 7 years since my first experience with DDLC, and honestly this time around, it probably made my opinion of the main game drop even further. Act 1 has some good parts, but is a fairly boring time, and acts 2 and 3 are awful, very edgy slop. So, when I booted up the new Side Stories I wasn't expecting much.
Except the side stories are some of the most genuine and heartwarming writing I've seen in a long time. It's seriously a disservice that they're tied to the base game. Anyone who thinks act 1 was even passable owes it to themselves to at least try the side stories in my opinion. I didn't expect DDLC of all things to make me bawl my eyes out.
DDLC - 2/10
Side Stories - 8/10

I mean it's okay, dan mullins other games are all awesome but this one feels a bit half baked, good effort for his first "popular" game for sure, definitely looking forward to pony island 2
2024
Yup, this is a video game
2023
It's boring
2020
The best thing to come out of this game is the fan art
I tried so hard with this game but in the end it just pisses me off more than anything. Huniepop 1 was a cute game and was over before I had a chance to get bored of the gameplay, so I was looking forward to this game!
Man oh man...The gameplay in this feels so RNG based at times that it feels like I'm just hitting a slot machine! Huniepop 1 was like this at times but never so offensively, it feels like you're always getting fucked over in some way by this game. It's not horrible or anything but it's super mediocre. Baggage, while cute in concept, can be really fucking annoying more often than not, and hinders my experience rather than helps it. This is Huniepop man I'm not here to tryhard I'm here to chill out, match 3, and see some boobs.
The characters though...I hate like 90% of the cast, most of them are really fucking annoying or weird and are just insufferable to talk to. One thing I do like is the double date system allows for some interactions between characters, which Huniepop 1 had very few of, so that was kinda cute I guess. But when the characters are THIS annoying I don't really care to see them interact at all! Shoutout to Lailani for being the only new character I actually liked, she's super cute.
Not even the porn is good. The artstyle is way worse than the first game.
So I'm sitting here 70% of the way done with the game and it hits me, I hate the gameplay, I hate the characters, I even hate the porn, why am I playing this?
And so, I'm not.

Not as good as lethal company, but lethal company has been deeply disappointing with the lack of updates so this is a good substitute.
2003
Extremely good atmosphere
2017
it's awful
2023
Goddddd damn the noise update is good, thank you for the excuse to revisit my favourite game of 2023 (P ranked everything)

Preeeeetty boring but it had cute ideas
Artorias and Manus are FIRE
Overall very mid, mid bosses, mid areas, lets not even talk about the second half of the game here. Anor Londo is awesome though!

waaaaa I love this game it always makes me happy
I HAVE DEFEATED MY DEMONS. ON ATTEMPT NUMBER 2 I DEFEATED MY DEMONS!!!!!!!
This is one of the best puzzle games I've ever played, please do not give up permanently on this. If you get stuck, come back, maybe you'll come back in a day, maybe in a few weeks, but this game is absolutely genius.
