Sup yall. Currently on 0.7 content. Should hopefully be caught up by the time 0.9 is out. I'll just dump a few thoughts about the game and my takes on the girls (keep in mind that, like I said, I am not caught up and could have different opinions in a week)
- I have a feeling this game will spoil me for all games I play next. I wouldn't necessarily say it does anything better than any other game I've played so far, but it does pretty much everything at a top 5 level. I can think of a handful of games which have sex scenes just as good if not better, but none of those have such a good story. I can think of a few games with equal or superior renders, but those don't have such good characters. I can think of a few games with an equal or superior story, but none that also have such hot sex scenes. It's the fact that Eternum combines all of these qualities that puts it above the rest, for better and for worse.
- Nancy was my favorite girl for the first 2-3 parches but has unfortunately fallen off bit by bit, to the point I'm thinking she might now almost be at the bottom of my ranking if not for Annie, which is a shame. I do hope she gets a chance to shine with some quality subplots in the future.
- I think Penelope is the hottest girl in the game, and has some of my favorite lewd scenes so far, but as a LI, she is only above Nancy and Annie. I just don't think her bond with Orion is that moving, as much as I enjoy her screentime.
- The ranking starts getting really tough from there, as I think all of the remaining girls are 9.5-10/10 material. Gun to my head, Dalia would probably be next. LOVE her personality, charm, looks, her scenes are super hot (the sandstorm one, which I got recently, is for sure in my top 3). She just barely falls short of the podium.
- Nova comes next at 3rd place. To be completely honest, I think she is Dalia's equal in every arbitrary metric I can think of. The only difference is, Nova has the pyramid scene, and Dalia doesn't. This probably remains my favorite scene to this day.
- Luna is 2nd in my ranking. She has a heck of a lot going for her: her looks only lose to Penelope's in my opinion,
- Alex is obviously the only remaining girl for 1st place. Interestingly enough, I think her scenes are actually somewhat weaker than most girls on the list (not by much, but still). She makes up for it everywhere else, however. Personality; looks, bonding moments, you name it. It also helps that she has by far the most plot-relevance of the girls, it helps make her romance feel more natural instead of just filler.
- I did not rank Calypso since the gallery doesn't seem to consider her to be a main girl. If I were to, though, I think she would be around that Penelope-Dalia level. The few moments we have with her left a strong impression (and that bath scene, good lord – probably top 2 scenes, I am a sucker for light femdom), but I would find it unfair to rank her any higher given the amount of content she has.
- Also, please keep in mind that even the lowest ranked girl (Annie in this instance) is still a 7.5/10 in my book. They are all really good.
Do let me know how hot or cold my takes are lol
