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
