Driven Affairs [v0.3.5] review
What it is:
Branching-story VN.
Short review:
Competent writing but lacks an overarching story. Scorching hot H-scenes and art. Gameplay involves a lot of save/loading if you want to see all the H. (And who wouldn't? The H is what carries this VN, hard.)
Positives:
+ Extremely boner-inducing art and animations. This is about as good as 2d content can get.
+ Dialogues are for the most part interesting and feel very organic. I read every word, which is very rare for me.
+ Dialogue choices are good. It takes some brains to figure out what to say to who, and I like that.
+ Characters are distinct, interesting and unique. And fucking hot.
Negatives:
- Save/load gameplay. Exclusive paths (no harem). Each chapter has a bunch of different endings depending on your choices and if you want to see them all, then get ready to save/load your ass off. I never understood the point of constructing a VN like this. It's just not fun.
- Why would these top-class hotties be throwing themselves at MC, a lowly taxi driver? The suspension of disbelief required to believe this story is a little too much. Paraphrasing: "Hey we've just met, but lets do coke and then we'll have a bathroom 3some". Eeeh yes please? Is being a taxi driver the new rockstar profession? If so, sign me the fuck up!
- There's no story driver. It's just a basic slice-of-life tale about a regular guy who gets into conversations with hotties. This could have been way more inspired. Make him God's chosen taxi driver or something at least, idk.
- No gallery function. This game needs a gallery.
All in all, i definitely recommend this game because the art and H scenes are simply amazing. Even if the writing was trash (and it definitely isn't) I would probably still play this.
