VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Good Girl Gone Bad [v1.2 Jasmin DLC] [Eva Kiss]

For this review, I create a rule: Everything that I won't talk about, I don't dislike. So, as an example, I won't say anything about all the body-mod options because I like them.

"And. Here. We. Go."

Some of the biggest strengths of GGGB are also its biggest flaws.
- You could cut 1/3 of named NPCs without harming the story. In my opinion it would even improve the story and the resources could be used on other, underdeveloped, characters.
- While the amount of options within the story is mindblowing, it also creates the problem that, if you start to "game" it, you can easily create logic-errors both in back to back scenes that contradict each other and also causing the script to get hick-ups (basicly you see scenes you shouldn't see because you're on a different path).
- Between different scenes for the same character I got more than once the impression that the text (in form, style and variety of words) was written by 2-3 different persons. There are also still many noticable typos.
- The developer trys, and mostly fails, to please to many different kinks. This ain't pokemon, you don't have to catch them all...
- Haven't played the devs 2nd game yet but from what I've seen and read thus far, someone has a clear bias toward POC. Not that it's bad, it's just not my taste.
- But what bothers me the most is that, no matter what you do, you're forced to at least "explore" the first few scenes of each path. As an example (Spoilers: DUH!) I tryed a fully "good girl" run, avoiding every "trap" to get Eva into bed but all of a sudden on Jessicas Party she turned into a cockslut out of nowhere... And with her now getting gang banged by gang bangers that run was over...

So yeah...only "average" at best.

Very top of the pyramid of porn games, the amount of quality content is insane, from the porn to the writing to the tons of choice and branching path it's a true masterpiece.

Absolutely would recommand to anyone into porn games, a must play !

As others have said, GGGB is the gold standard adult VNs:

• Actually complete and not rushed
• Great art with a focus on realistic proportions
• Memorable characters with many different sides to them
• Some light character customization that still fits the linear nature of the VN
• Your choices actually matter, game has endless branching story paths
• A developer that provided sizeable updates regularly, and was completely transparent with supporters the entire development

I could go on and on, but my most concise way to praise the game is saying that someone can complete this game 5 times and still have missed PLENTY of unique content. Not just sex scenes, but entire character arcs (and also sex scenes). Highly recommend for anyone, and you might wanna keep an eye on the dev's next project, Our Red String.

BEST GAME EVER
so many content, so many routes, so many endings : done like 25 times still discovering new things.
no grinding, no rushing the story. the game is completed, with lots of ending, making sense with how you play.
if you have to play only one eroge, its this one.

For quite a while I put this game on hold as I was not sure if it was worth it or not.

Well, it is worthy. Very much so


Gameplay:
- the game is quite complex and has a lot of option that change what happend next. The developer had quite a bit to make sure that everything is kept in a logical order.
- the galery option was usefull for me. After playing the game a few times (ok, maybe a bit more then a few times) I was wondering if I still missed something. So this proved to be really useful.
- there is place for customisation (with/without implants, piercing, tatoos)


Characters:
- there is actually a character development
+ Ashley can become good, bad or anything in between
+ Eva also have quite an interesting evolution based on your evolution and advice

Storyline
- the storyline is quite complex and there are various path that you can choose
- your choises really metter and if you play it a few times you can see that what you say to other characters really make a difference in their path.
- also, having the story told from a girl perspective is refreshing for me.
- the story is long and it takes you some time. I appreciated it so much given that out there are so many games that are short or start well but end too soon

Hm, no clue why this game is rated so well to be honest. It has several issues, as far as I can see it. It starts with small ones like typos and grammar mistakes, then goes over to disjointed sections. For instance, I never met that Doug guy but apparently he somehow told me stuff about Iris. Same with that rap person. Met him once, was generally not interested but apparently I texted him a few times which is never shown and there was no indication of it at all, until they established that as a fact for some reason. I refused Jack, so apparently he was super pissed off but later he interacts with me with like nothing happened (but at least me refusing him was referred to).
And then there are things the game forces you to do or into all the time. Wasn't interested in meeting Jessica or buying clothing but for some reason, it happened all the time. In general, the game pushes really hard into making the main character more slutty. No, I don't want to buy more "sexy" clothing. Get a tattoo (which is permanent) because life is changing and you want to signify it that way? What the fuck is that kind of reasoning? No, I don't want to get a damn tattoo, however many times the game wants to force it onto me. At least with a piercing they only tried it once. *sigh*
Also, what was with the main character being a huge bitch when her contract as a part-time worker at the marketing firm ends? She immediately accuses the boss of not extending because she didn't sleep with him. The boss even explains that they have tons of work and need full-time employees which she couldn't be anyway due to college. No, she makes a huge scene and then wants to get paid off, so that she leaves quietly. Bah. There are also some things she says which make her seem like a 15- or 16-year-old. Like apparently, if you are confident about your body, you have to show it off to the world. Lol. Hey, news flash, if you are confident about your body, you don't have to do that. She also says some mean things about her father which is apparently standard. I certainly never selected any of those and the only negative thing I did in that regard was moving out because I wanted to be independent.
There were also the sex scenes...which I generally preferred skipping though.
It's an ok game in the end. It has its share of problems, from small ones to larger, more general ones. It does offer some variety and length though.

The art is great if a little bit sparse. The writing and choices are truly superlative and where the game really shines! There's a lot more depth than I expected too. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

This is really one my favorite game it really has a lot of path. You can play though the game at least 5 or 6 times with a very different approach . Your main character Ashley can really become more than just good or bad there is a lot of interaction with every other character.

Lot of endings,
lot of paths which are really different from each other,
customizable character through the story,
achieving what you want is pretty easy (Avalaible choices consequences are almost always easy to understand)
really good drawings.

I can't find anything bad about this game.

One of the best games out there - well done EvaKiss! Great artwork and story, really enjoyed being able to corrupt Ashley over and over - especially when I could also corrupt the other girls as well. Would have been great to have been able to end up as a prostitute, or be a pornstar without turning into a bimbo, but these are just small gripes really

One of the best games out there, great story, even greater character development, and give the impression that your choices really matter,one of the must play games of this community, download it and play, you will not regret, but beware to save very often, so you can explore the any paths that exist in this game, 10/10 recommend.

Awesome VN, with a real CYOA feel. Easily in my top three of VNs. My only gripe, is that Ashley never get the chance to become the dom in a sex encounter or relationship (except for a few with Eva, but those are still a little vanilla). Sure, she can cuck her boyfriend but the other sex partner is always the alpha/dom. Still that's very minor, since everything else in the game is stellar.

Highly recommended!

An excellent game that tries experimental concepts and succeeds.

I initially was hesitant about playing a game with a female protag. It's easy to have a "session" in a fantasy where you're an alpha male with multiple women who lust after you, but I wasn't sure about the reverse. Thankfully, it's good - like the other half of a puzzle.

The corruption is the best part for me. Changing this girl from a goodie two-shoes to a girl who embraces sex with anyone is a turn on hard to find in other games. With multiple situations, there's a lot of variety. While I can't guarantee you'll like it, I definitely feel you have to at least try it.

Very nice to have a porn game made by a woman

Gameplay is quick, you can stack corrupt choices fast. It is satisfying to corrupt the MC this way.

My main problem is the art. I agree it is refreshing, and maybe feminine, and good as a variation, but I find it way too simplistic, it is mainly lines with color in them. The sex scenes are merely hinting to what happens instead of portraying it graphically.

So I guess if you want this game, it should be for the coices, story, and possibilities of corruption. And maybe a good choice for female adiences.

I appreciated the amount of customization and choices in this game, especially since there were no animations.

It was quite a long story with quite a lot of depth. The way the characters developed (particularly the MC) was entertaining to say the least, and the different stories you could choose to experience were delightfully debauched. I can't wait to play the creator's latest game.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I did get a handful of software errors towards the latter part of the game which kind of messed with my ending. Also, as for the art style I'd say it's not bad but not great either IMO. It's definitely more of an imaginative game (through text) rather than visual.

Fantastic game with incredibly complex paths. Artwork is consistent and really well made, but suffers from what all 2D cartoons does, that most characters look the same making it hard to remember who is who. The story arching and writing itself would easily earn the game 6 out 5 stars from me.

One of the best games in the female protagonist corruption genre.

The art is beautiful, even though there is no animation (which could have made this even better).

There are quite a few branching paths, allowing you to literally play this game a dozen or so times with different events showing up each time. It's quite amazing that EvaKiss was able to keep track of each choice and the logical implications of each choice in such a complex web of interconnected choices and events.

Overall, one of the best female protagonist games I have played.

i have played this to completion over 40 times, trying different combinations of choices both sexual and otherwise. The breadth of outcomes is quite impressive and i found it a lot of fun to try and unlock as many different fates for Ashley as i could. Nicely executed art, fairly intuitive mechanics. A winner overall, for me.

Hard for me to say something that hasn't already been said. This is an absolutely amazing game, well written in a sense that very few games on this site come close to. The characters are well developed and the story allows for so many various posibillities I have yet to explore them all despite playing this game I don't know how many times.

On the negative side, I would have wished this game would have narrowed down a little to keep the main story more focused, and the corruption has to occur right from the start in order not to miss some of the main events but overall you can't give this game anything other than a 5/5. If you havent played it already, wtf are you waiting for?

Just a great game!

Pro:
Not to long not to short and great replayability.
Clean artstyle and lots of different love interests to choose.

Con:
Some endings are quite hard and not as obvious to achieve.
