VN - Ren'Py - Completed - City of Broken Dreamers [v1.15.0 Ch. 15] [PhillyGames]

[Review for version v0.3.1.1 - Uploaded 2019/08/14]
City of Broken Dreamers is one of the best games I've played on this website. It has stunning visuals at times, good looking models, and a great UI which really aids in immersion in the game.

The story is interesting, and touches on some common Cyberpunk themes and several characters which are all endearing in their own way. The dialogue is also witty and memorable without any serious spelling errors.

The game is made in the Ren'Py engine, but beside some of the usual kinks with that engine, it runs like a dream and I experienced no bugs or issues. The animations that occur every once in a while is a bit of a mixed bag, but most of them looks nice and fits nicely within the story.

All in all, I would recommend City of Broken Dreamers to any Cyberpunk fan who would like a naughty game with an interesting story that don't revolve around sex, but still has its fair share of it.

The Connoisseur rating for City of Broken Dreamers [v0.3.1.1]

"Outstanding" - The Connoisseur

Graphics are perfect, just perfect nothing else to say.

Writing is top notch, writer, you know how to keep your players interested

The story is good, creative not something you usually see around porn games

This is one of the best porn games I played ever, if not the best

The overall game is outstanding, characters, the sounds, the animations, the girls, deserving a solid 5 stars

So, here I go again... After I wrote my first review ever on this forum on Philly's first game Depraved Awakening, I feel I have to submit my second one once again to this unbelievably passionate and detail oriented developer. The key moment came about when I just watched the last scene of the current version (v0.3.1.1). I simply sat there and watched my hero get prepared for his probably biggest challenge yet. Don't get me wrong. He knows what he's doing, he's good at his job as Ghost, but what lies ahead of him may be something or someone to be reckoned with.
The suspense builds up with the first notes of a Synth-Pop song that couldn't fit any better to the dystopian cyber punk world the protagonist lives in. From here everything is almost as if it were a movie. The last scenes just flow by, occasionally interrupted by inner thoughts and concerns of the female characters that have impacted and been impacted by the actions of my hero. He is ready, suited up, the bright lights of his goggles pierce through the darkness as he drives towards his unknowingly target.
I had to watch this scene twice just to appreciate all the details that have been implemented here. I got goose bumps every time.
I don't want to say or spoil anything no further. This game is already a gem and I can't wait to see what surprises the dev holds in store for my hero...

Was absolutely blown away by the graphics and animation even before the game even started! This game has barely taken flight and it's already in a league of it's own.

None of the content seemed forced or out of place. The plot is somewhat more realistic compared to other games and not to mention unique. Solid dialogue.

Haven't been here long but I've also experienced Depraved Awakening as well and enjoyed that too. Looking forward to what Philly brings next

Probably the erotic game with the highest production values I've ever seen. So far, it's pretty vanilla in its sexual content, meaning there are no particular fetishes or fantasies being catered to (apart from a lot of sex with different women), but with a game as good as this, that isn't really required.

Pros
- Exellent renders
- Great quality animations
- Good looking modells
- Thought out and interesting Sci-fi plot and world (cyber punk)
- Great writing, good dialouges
- Interesting characters
- Good amount of choices that matter, leading to branching

Cons
- None really that I can see at the moment

Without a doubt the best adult game being made at the moment.

The renders and animations are amazing, best of any game out there. The story is awesome and the MC (at least in my opinion) is likable, which is so rare in adult games.

PhilliGames has a real talent as a story teller. His previous game 'depraved awakening' is my all time favorite adult game but the way this is going it looks like it will surpass it.

I look forward to see what he has in store for us

Wow. Just wow.

This is the best looking game on this forum. By far.
I mean it, this looks absolutely fantastic.
The renders, the animations, the lighting, the coherent, immersive setting of it all. Just wow. Out of this world.

But that's just the surface. The storytelling is masterful, the characters well designed, and the dialogue is spot on for the genre.
The futuristic, vaguely dystopian, charmingly cyberpunk setting of the story is perfect.
The girls are gorgeous, hell, even the men are wonderfully rendered, the realism is remarkable.
The sex scenes are very hot. Each girl likes to do it differently, and I really appreciate that.

But let me say that, while the sex scenes are fantastic and kinda functional to the story, this game would work and be amazing even with a tamer version of them.
It's really solid.

Finally, how not to mention the very fitting musical choices?

I can't wait for the next update.

I love your work in every games, I'm perfect with all, scenes, renders, characters, game history, and in this chase the sci-fi ambient ufffffffff, it gives a plus to the game, it's perfect, every detail, the reflections, lights, seems like RTX enhanced xd

PD: Sorry by my English, I don't speak it, but I'm working on it.

Wow! Just wow!

This game is by far the best I've seen here as of today. Unreal.

Creating something like this not only takes some serious GPU power, but also skills in setting up the scenes and lighting them to create the imersive mood that this game has to offer.
Along with great animations, a suspenseful story and good character development, this is everything that 99% of everything else here is not.

I've dished out some harsh game reviews in the past, but this is really something else.
It's so well done in fact, that I have to put my own project on standby to regroup first, before I can even consider to move on. Not that I'll ever be able to produce a stream of renders like these, unless I drop at least another $5k in GPU's in. I don't want to see the dev's electric bill...

I'm really impressed by this. Hats off!

If i had to say it shortly : PhillyGames games are amasing as alawys !
His first one ("Depraved Awakening") was extraordinay and i find it back in this game ! In a way it even better.
Firstly the visual effect : Beautifulland extraordinary immersive. The animation are impresives, each characters look almost real and the light effects ! when i was watching those effect i was like Whoaaa that's amasing ! That's i never found in any other games !
Then the characters : we want to know the past of each of them they are so deep ! As alawys with PhillyGames the characters are not just fuck doll they have motivation goal and so moch more to offer ! You have to try the differents choices if you truly want to discover them. That is for me one more exellent point !

Lastly the story : if you like cyberpunk setting you will love City of Broken Dreamers. Futuristic city wich is really impressive by the attention PhillyGames has put in each of the picture.

So if you want something not just to masturbate but to really discover a narrative story with choice that really does have matter then go fos this game. To be honnest i think i chould support this game and i would do it gladly if PhillyGames had a Tepee account !

To PhillyGames : keep up the amasing masterpiece you've created until now i know you will not disapoint any of us cause it's like you put you soul in your game !

This is looking crazy good. Like insanely good. Like big studio with million dollar budget good.
Fuck, even that feels like an understatement. A million dollars is hardly enough to get this kind of production value. This is so far ahead of the game, that if you are new to lewd 3d novels I would almost advice you to not play it, because after you've played it the others will look like children's cartoons in comparison. This game feels like a well polished triple-A game from any big studio today. To imagine that this is a one man show is just insane! If anybody is deserving of your Patreon dollars, belive me its PhillyGames. What this is, is so far ahead of the game that you wouldn't want anything else after you've had a taste. It's he cocaine of adult gaming. Go try your marijuana first because this game will ruin everything else for you.
I may sound like a fanboy and that's because I am. Not because I tried this game once and liked it, but because I've tried pretty much all the top 20 lewd titles of today and I'm tellin' ya, it doesn't get better than this. Great captivating story, immersive futuristic world, dirty sex, cool music. It's PhillyGames Magnum Opus and you would be a retard if you missed it.

I just have one small-ish gripe: is cumshotting girls backs the hot thing of the future? If so, I'm not sure I want to live in it, or see that sad day. Can I play a protagonist who is not obsessed with pulling out and ruining every hot scene? Would a bioenhanced agent of a fucking futuristic biotech company really be worried about getting pregnant? Would she not take steps to prevent this before planning to fuck someone to sweeten a business deal? Is contraceptives not a thing in the future? Fucking STOP with this bullshit pullout nonsense please it has NO fucking place in these scenarios. Well I guess there are deviants who would rather pull out and smear their goo on someones face or tits but please realize that this is a minority kink. I could respect that kind of storytelling if you made a point out of it with corresponding dialogue. Like "yea you nasty slut smear that cum all over you I know you love it" et c. Any half decent mercenary would just fill that pussy up without blinking and just assume shit will be all right because hey, it's the fucking future.
Jesus H Christ I don't want to be forced yet again to play a perfect gentleman protagonist worried about knocking sluts up. It's such an immersion breaker and it does not suit his personality at all. Don't force this on me PLEASE!
Honestly just having the protagonist fill a girl up with cum without warning and having her be pissed off at him afterwords could even be an interesting or entertaining scenario. He's already portrayed as a bit of a rogue so this is something I could absolutely see him doing.
Pull-out-sex in fiction is the real life sex equivalent of condom sex: Planned, respectful, dispassionate, boring and bland. (Unless you make a point of the degrading aspect of being soiled with semen of course, then it can be at least somewhat hot. Not that I recommend going down that road, but it would at least be better than what we've got right now)

This is the first game I am rating just because I am blown away by its neo- noir futuristic dystopian world. I cannot believe its a porn game. It gives a vibe of netflix's altered carbon series. its animation just look like a big budgeted game, by far best in any porn game. It has the best storyline I've ever seen in a porn game. btw love victoria!

I love cyber punk and this game gives the best atmosfere and word building. I like the characters and the story. The art and the render is gorgeous. Its a really good game, i cant think of something bad to say. Even the music is good.
If you did not play this game yet i strongly suggest you do

This is the game for me to support on Patreon. I first saw this and thought that one of the only games I had recently saw that seemed as good was a game called Depraved Awakening. Lo and behold, I didn't realize that it was the same dev! Blade Runner/Cyberpunk/adult themes/an actual story are part of the vibe of this game. Check it out for yourself to be sure but chances are most people will find it a great investment of their err gaming time. It's really good, what else can I say?

Absolutely fantastic game. The art is absolutely spot on. The women are smoking hot and well written. I especially appreciated the nuance shown with the sonic shower scene. The story themes are excellently presented. Pacing both narratively and frequency erotic interludes is well done.

PhillyGames, author/developer of the until recently highest rated game on this entire website, Depraved Awakening, has delivered unto us another gift. COBD has all the nuance and mystery that I've come to expect from Philly, with some of the most beautiful 3D renders I've seen outside of a hollywood movie. The characters are realistic, with defined personalities, motives (and sex drives), the cyberpunk setting is gorgeous, the animations are probably the best on the market and the multitude of secrets and alternate scenes give the game a lot of replayability. It's still early days right now, but this game could turn out to be even better than DA.

A cyberpunk detective type story, where you're hired to find a mutant girl. Renpy Visual Novel with choices.
This is fantastic - loads of hot sex with gorgeous women. Love the outfits they wear, and the graphics are superb. Beautifully lit cyberpunk scenes, and some nice animation too.
The main character is a tough veteran, and there are a variety of women, throwing themselves at him - the shy cute doctor, the slutty groupie, the confident-but-masochist reporter, the cute rockstar and job-fixer, and the anything-you-want-her-to-be sex robot. The story is detailed and developing nicely.
I'm eagerly waiting for more!
Version played: 0.3.1.1-pc

This was very good. Most VN's I will just skip to the good parts. This is one of those that I actually want to read the story to because it matters. Great story line, great characters, great renders. I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode.

One of greatest games.If you are here for the plot this game is for you.I really love the story line characters and dialogs.Renders maybe the one of the best I've seen.To all peaseants of this site I suggest you to explore,enjoy and support this one

Short review, game version 0.3.1.1.
This will maybe more like a love letter to the developer, there are already good and detailed reviews here.

The Story of this VN is a thriller in a dystopian, cyberpunk future.
It is like a illegitimate child of Deus Ex and Blade Runner, made from someone who has passion for his work.

The music, setting, art style, cg's, characters, conversations, animations, pace, you really nailed it all.

To have some critiques:
- There are 1 ore 2 animation that are a bit ciunky
- We dont get updates/chapters every day

This is already the best VN I've seen so far here at F95Zone.
Philly_Games you deserve any support.
