Ren'Py - Elfheim [Ch. 2 v0.2.0] [Elfheim]

Yep, this is a very good game. I saw it on Steam and bro this art is really good, I need to play and now I'm here playing this. The game is really good and the art is wow, amazing.
I see art on twitter and I can't believe what a great job this guy has been doing

Art is top tier, 5 stars. Scenes are very well illustrated.

From a writing / story perspective, Elfheim is incredibly lacking.

There is one choice in this game, and it's the name of the MC. Because the MC is a Dragon Quest style slime with no agency, the game's characters have to carry you from set piece to set piece. Having a character that is weak, viscous and easily managed is convenient for CGs, but for a game? It's hard to fantasize or imagine yourself in the MC's shoes. You end up looking from the outside in, a voyeur of this useless slime, and it really detracts from the experience of these excellent illustrations.

I'd love to see real choices. Agency. If I'm basically a video game mob, where are my evil choices? My good choices? Maybe I want to transform into something that isn't a milquetoast little man? Give me some role playing. With a little more intention, Elfheim could really be something special.

All in all, 3/5 - average. The art really is that good, and I will be watching this game closely.

The art is fantastic. The story seems mostly interesting if a bit silly.

This is a pure kinetic novel. literally the only choice I ever made in this was the name of the MC.
I kept on waiting to be given control, or a choice, or something to do. but none exists.

This should be viewed as a comic book not a game.

It falls into the awkward space of porn with plot, where as a plot story there is not enough plot due to all the porn.
And as a porn comic there is not enough porn due to all the plot.
Overall I recommend it.

Review of v0.4.2:

Excellent game with a great potential. I love the art and the story. The characters are gorgeous. However, there is still room for improving. For example, there are no animations and it's not voiced. Nevertheless, the game is worth trying. I highly recommend it.

The art and drawing is brutally good, the story has potential and if it is written well, it can be very good, and of course, a world full of elves, and that gives more points, maybe I would like the H scenes to be animated but I suppose that It is not easy to do it, even so, very good

[v0.4.2]
Very early days, not much contents yet; so the rating is provisional.
So far no choices, just a visual novel.
But so far the writing is good, the art is great, the story interesting, the LIs attractive and fleshed out well.

The art is amazing, this fella knows how to draw bum holes just right in my opinion, I think the current art as of version 0.2.2 might be mostly sketches or unfinished drawings, but I see alot of potential and I definitely enjoyed.

Pretty much a visual novel, you don't have choices (except "choose your name") and is just a smooth visual novel, the art is fucking great and the dialogue was pretty good. Overall is something worth playing / watching, i'm going to keep an eye on this one for sure.
