★ BENEATH THE NEON SUN REVIEW
I'm writing this review after playing Version: 0.1.9. Here's what I liked and did not like so far.
+ THE GOOD | +/- COULD BE BETTER | - THE BAD
+ THE STORY:
The Story is very Interesting. If you like Crime/Drama/Thriller you will love this game.
+ WRITING:
Writing is good and so is the pacing. The dialogues are not super long to the point where it gets boring. Found one spelling mistake and no grammatical errors.
+ VISUALS:
The renders are great. It looks different from other games on this site and I mean different in a good way.
+ MC:
Looks: He looks alright, wouldn’t call him handsome but still better looking than most wimpy MCs from other games.
Personality: Calm and collected as a detective should be. He is clever but his cocky attitude makes him a bit unlikeable.
+ CHARACTERS:
Characters are well written and look realistic. I liked Olivia(GILF), Myfanwy(Client) and Alix(Bartender), the others were not my type.
+ CHOICES?
Good amount of choices. Different outcomes for different choices.
+ GAMEPLAY:
Sandbox done well. Point and click but it suits the game perfectly and isn’t boring.
+/- MUSIC & SOUND:
None
+/- THE SEX SCENES:
Fappability – 2/5 Short animation loops with no dialogue.
VERDICT:
It has everything a top tier game should have…. well except for good sex scenes and music.
