I really hate to see a story that has all of the right elements needed to be fantastic, fail so horribly.
Fresh Women is a story with several familiar tropes. Male MC headed to college, Father missing, accident resulting in amnesia and women throwing themselves at him almost immediately. We have seen these a thousand times but despite that, Fresh Women gives you a glimpse into what can be a great story.
So why did I say what I said in the first sentence of this review?
Fresh Women is all over the map. On the one hand you have a serious story that seems to be going somewhere but then it gets sent off in some crazy direction with a poor attempt at humor that is both misplaced and simply over the top. It leaves you with the feeling that someone got high and took two different stories and then shuffled them together like a deck of cards.
The serious side of the story get derailed by these completely crazy scenes that have you scratching your head. You simply get lost in it.
1. The serious side of the story is very compelling and if it were allowed to progress normally without all of the distractions, it would be 5 star worthy.
2. The comedy side of the story comes out of nowhere at times and is just hilarious. One could make a really cool story just following the misadventures of the MC and Dylan and it would be 5 star worthy.
3. The sex scenes are a perverts wet dream. All of the women are stunning, the animation is really good and as a whole are very fap worthy for both guys and gals.
4. The visuals are fantastic. The renders are top quality and you can tell that great care was taken to make everything look great.
Then you put it all together...........
What results is a train wreck of a story that at best confuses you and at worst infuriates you. The comedic elements are ill timed and some of them simply derail the flow of the story. The "station" scenes are just ridiculous and then for some crazy reason there is a Grizzly Bear thrown in just for good measure. What? Yea... A Grizzly Bear...
The women as you will come to see, simply throw themselves at the MC. A couple seem to have this "take it slow" approach but that is very short lived. I mean like the very next scene with the two of them alone short lived... The cruel truth is that it is really impossible to choose a love interest even though there are moments that take you in that direction. The Harem aspects simply override any chance at a 1 on 1 relationship no matter how hard you try to go that way.
Everybody runs into a particular character that they do not like for whatever reason. A good story will give the reader the chance to distance themselves from that character or at least control them a bit but not here! The Dylan character is far and away the most polarizing aspect of this game and you can't get away from him! You are forced to go along with everything he gets the MC into and all you can do is bang away at the keys to spare yourself the torture of dealing with him in the story. For a friend and wingman, he is just a disaster.
SO... To sum it all up... Fresh Women has everything going for it. Great plot line, compelling characters (aside from Dylan) and fantastic visuals. The writing, event timing and despairingly over sexualized female characters just destroy any hope of Fresh Women being a story that you would stay with until its completion (If it ever gets completed).
If you want to give it a try, be my guest. stay away from the beta versions and play the "finished" chapters. Try very hard to keep up with the story, and if you are still with it by the end of chapter 4, pat yourself on the back for having endured it.
It gets one star...
