Is the game good? Yes. Do I recommend it? Yes.
For the visuals alone, it's already a winner. If you've played Confined with Goddesses, you know where the game is going. So far, the characters and the scenes available are incredibly hot, hotter than their previous game which was already great visually. Maybe it's the novelty of a different game engine being used which makes the girls so visually unique.
The girls themselves are archetypical but then as you play and get to know them more, they're not as cookie-cutter as you would believe them to be. Not even as close to the characters from the previous game. This is a positive for me because this makes the girls this time are far more interesting to interact and converse with.
Which brings us to the next part which has also been an improvement from the previous game - dialogue. How well written the characters are, how the MC talks with each girls are even more better this time. To be honest, I couldn't believe that this is from the same creator because of how much more I like the chemistry between our MC and the girls, and I can't wait for more of it.
Another improvement is the story. It's not just, "Let's fuck all the girls in the house!" No, it has much more foundation this time where the creator can cook up whatever crazy plot they want to do next because let's face it, the setting of a world post-pandemic with some weird side effect to the population is kooky enough that anything's possible without it being too far out.
As for the sandbox, I have gripes with it. Is it enough for me to not play it? No. Is it enough to knock off a star? No, but I still want to say my piece. I both have something I'm glad for and a problem with it.
What I'm glad for is that the raising of stats is no longer here and that to progress through each girl's story, you just need to go wherever it happens next - a change that I am very happy with and in my opinion, should be something all sandbox games strive for.
My problem is that there is no order to these encounters, twice now I have seen an event with a girl where she says she's jacked/blew the MC before that I never saw. I had to go through the Main Events to see the part the girls were referring to which means that I have technically skipped through the story. Maybe this wasn't an issue for the people who played this game on its first version and done so every update but for someone like me that only first played it on version 0.1.9, it's jarring and breaks the immersion.
It's a minor issue, you could say I nitpicked it and I did because I want this game to be amazing because I know it can be.
If you're still on the fence even after seeing the preview images - give it a try and be surprised.
My message to Eroniverse: Keep up the good work! This is a tremendous improvement and I can't wait for more. The events for the girls having a flow would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me.
