    In short this is a porn game before it is anything else... So if you're looking for a deep fantasy story, meaningful relationships, great characters, a great world being built with attention to detail or anything of the sort, look somewhere else.

    This game is decent but nothing that's really anywhere near worthy of 5 stars unless you just like quick and easy porn games. The game doesn't hold anything back from you and has roaming sequences (not really a sandbox so to say but you can make a decision on who to visit from a list of people) where you can repeat H scenes with certain girls and pick the ones you want.

    The scenes themself are alright. They get better towards the end but the animations aren't really anything too fantastic...

    As for the story and such... It's there... barely... it seems the story is more so to service the H scenes than the other way around. It has a lot of potential but the pacing is pretty break neck. Women you just meet will talk to MC, ask his name and story and then they'll be fucking. There's like one meaningful relationship being built but other than that you have to try hard or completely shut things down to miss out on anything with most of the girls you meet.

    Idk, to me this game is ok... if you're looking for some quick spank material then yeah this might do it for you. Anything more than that? You will probably be disappointed. At least the writing and grammar is good.

    Story is very simple and I think that it's good. There are some superpowers that yet need to be explained by the story, a lot of room for the story to develop. Renders are high quality, girls are good looking, I especially like the wife / maid. Proportions of girls are realistic, they are usually quite busty. Amount of content is good for such an eary state of development. Mostly I like the fact that the wife is so obedient and loving, what a fantasy.

    It's nothing you havem't seen before on here in a fantasy game, and yet, there is a charm to it, and the morality system is very cool. It rewards and punishes actions and honestly, that's cool to see in a porn game. The sandbox is also extremely simple, not grindy, and done properly; this is borderline a VN, and I personally think that's a good thing.

    The models are good, the "main" girl Maia is a treasure, and the connect four minigame actually was pissing me off in a good way, added some extra fun thrown into it.

    I can't see why you'd rate this game lower than 4 stars on some typos or maybe a fairly cookie-cutter fantasy game, but I think on fun and potential alone, I rate this easily 5 stars, looking forward to the next chapter.

    Wow, I just played this adventure game, and it's so good! From the very start, it just pulled me right in. The places you visit in the game? They look amazing! Every new area was like a picture, full of cool little things to see. It felt so real, whether I was running through old ruins, green forests, or busy towns. The feeling of the game was always just right.

    What also made the game stand out was its characters – the game has a lot of visually appealing female characters, which definitely added to the overall style and appeal for me. Beyond that, the story was really well told, with awesome characters and surprises all the time. I always wanted to know what would happen next, and what secrets I could find. And the puzzles? They were super clever! Hard enough to make you think, but not so hard that you get stuck and just want to quit. it felt smooth and fun, not too much, just enough to keep things exciting. This game just got everything right. It was such a great time, and now I just want to play more!

    Pretty good especially with the sexual scenes actual good renders with animations in this cesspool of the trash on here a miracle indeed. Dialogue checks are not that annoying to me? Seems pretty easy to just be consistent with being a bad guy and all or the other way around. With the bad guy path like the way you are getting increasingly worse morally. Seems like this one offers more sex scenes especially with the prisoner at first but the rest doesn't seem to restrict that only the restriction it seems is on the morality of the actions you take. Other thing I like with this is the story author says he's not a writer but hell seems like more of a damn writer then a shit load of the things on here that might have good renders and animations but oh man the damn writing not good or truly bad just boring plain ass boring. This story reaches a golden standard on this site for an actual interesting novel to read with damn good porn scenes which should be the standard but unfortunately it is not.

    Like the Disco Elysium voices but will they play a further role or is there purpose just to provide extra dialogue to the actions the player makes? Its not a negative just wondering if there's going be an greater role for them. Main character not that much of an idiot I would say since I feel like he would die fast regardless of intelligence since this seemingly is an fantasy world with realistic standards seemingly there's magic but vast amount of people do not have it and the vast majority of people seemingly do not have the physical capabilities to take down an ogre expect maybe the armored dude Gaius no superhuman people yet. So an average guy in that world? Yeah I would die pretty fast obstacles to me seem believable hell this guy is abnormal with the zero hesitation on risking his life.

    Only thing not realistic is getting to that sex but hey porn games got to have porn and for me I like a quick fuck. Don't care nor hate the Isekai stuff but I did enjoy the way that came about with Alex when the main character was sleeping.

    - In total like the plot and sheer variety of sex scenes especially the plots around them.
    - Emphasizing once again on the amount of good ass sex scenes.
    - Main wife cute as hell especially with the freckles on her face and the way she acts.

    I really wanted to enjoy this one, as the story and characters are interesting enough to keep me engaged -- but the game mechanics are just plain retarded. My biggest frustration throughout the game? The stupid dialogue checks.

    Literally everything I do results in a check failed.

    - I want to impregnate a beautiful lady? Well the game says you can, but nope, check failed.
    - I want to to slap somebody? Check failed.
    - Killing somebody? Check failed. (Trying to kill the queen just results in a game over which is why I'm not even sure why the option even exists).
    - I want to be a good, honest guy? Check failed.
    - I want to be the bad guy and do something only an asshole would do? Check failed.

    For a game pretending to have options sure likes to restrict what I can and can't do behind that stupid check, even though it appears to to be based on whether you're a good guy or bad guy, and even when you are loyal to either of those paths, the check still fails.

    2/10, those stupid dialogue checks ruined my experience.

    Liking this game so far. I dig the fantasy setting and the girls look good. Unfortunately I can't count how many promising starts I've seen on this site that never went anywhere, so here's hoping this game is one of the exceptions.

    [v0.2.3] [v0.3.2]

    Why is captain of the guard strolling through an open fiend in solitude?
    Why would he want to reward the protagonist even if he confesses that he had nothing to do with ogre's demise?
    Why would the captain want to setup a queen audience with some random hobo?
    Why would he babysit our MC, does he have nothing better to do?
    Why would a prostitute want to be impregnated by some stranger that she sees for the first time?
    If the ogre was such a big threat, why there was no militia or military companies hunting it?
    Why would queen gift a lowly peasant palace quarters and wed him into her family?
    Why would she sleep with you right away? She can't be that down bad, right?
    A vendor wants you, complete nobody, to breed her because she has to produce breast milk for her business?
    Why did the blacksmith's daughter get a sudden urge to marry protagonist after seeing his penis?


    The latest update managed to fix most logical inconsistencies with the plot yet not all:
    1. dev rewritten Dariuses remarks about a passing by elf to be as mild and inoffensive as possible, but MC still calls him out for racism later on.
    2. if you choose to go straight to your room instead of conversing with Darius in the tavern (brothel), Diana comes in and still says "I overheard your conversation with sir Darius" even though it didn't happen. And then asks "Changed your mind?" when you suggest sex as if she had offered before.
    3. Somehow queen found out from the guild girl that MC let the witch go, even tho he told her that she escaped.
    4. Dev moved the queen scene farther down the narrative, which is good. Unfortunately he did not bother to rewrite it, which is sad.
    5. The game does not acknowledge some of your choices, when it comes to refusing or ignoring love interests.
    6. At times the game still feels like a porn parody rather than a compelling story, but those moments are relatively rare.

    ⠀⠀⠀Most choices let you be either honest or liar and kind or sadist, turn down or engage in sexual activities and some other misc. decisions. Sometimes you can even roleplay as a murderous psycho.
    ⠀⠀⠀Dev put a disclaimer saying "be careful not to stray in one direction" in regards to the "Honor" (karma) system, yet the game actively punishes you for being neutral by having stat checks for certain action/dialogue options.
    ⠀⠀⠀Some stat-related choices seem to be quite arbitrary, e.g. if you grab your "wife's" breast, you lose "Honor" even tho she's not really being forced or against the idea.
    ⠀⠀⠀Game still has a bug many months later, where it can't remember which value in "mcname" variable belongs to which playthrough, so my protagonist changes names on the fly.
    ⠀⠀⠀Visuals are good: textures are high-res, objects throw shadows, ambient occlusion is present and lighting fees more or less natural. Character models look pretty, most have big booba.
    ⠀⠀⠀Animations range from mid to fine: there is no momentum, no passion, bodies have stiff movement, camera angles aren't the best. Sex scenes are too short, have very little dialogue and have no sound effects. Also I hate this 'change speed/pose/POV' animation selector instead of proper human-directed sex scenes. Overall I'm sort of disappointed by sexual content.
    ⠀⠀⠀Mostly VN with some free-roam sections. These sections still feel like an afterthought, not adding any depth of value to the game. There is already a framework for what I assume will be a proper sandbox in the future, but for now it's a visual novel.

    Dev actually listens to player feedback and fixes their game? They also put a lot of time and effort into the updates? Wow, rare.

    High quality game so far. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, but does keep things interesting. The game is a bit quick in throwing out sex scenes, but I can't fault it too much when the scenes are both hot and well animated. Also, for a game that's been out for less than a year, it has tons content already. Overall, I recommend the game and hope the dev sticks with it as it could end up being something special.

    This game has a great medieval fantasy feel. The writing is clear and easy to follow without being too simple.

    I don't mind sandbox games when they’re done well or have a strong foundation. Some people complain these games don’t have deep characters or enough detail to be a masterpiece. But making something like that is extremely hard, even for big studios. It’s easy to talk about what’s missing, but creating all of it, especially as one person, is another story. Just making a sandbox game that feels fun is already a big achievement.

    So far, there’s no real grinding in this game, and the story and gameplay parts work well together. I do wish there was a little more freedom in the story sections, but it’s still enjoyable. The animations and visuals are great. You can tell a lot of effort went into them. The game is still a big WIP, but if the developer keeps it up, it could turn into something really great.


    Overall, it's a relaxing and fun game with a lot of potential.

    TheDisgracedOne

    Some devs need to understand that in adult games there is games, and in adult visual novel there is a visual novel.


    The game is basically nothing more then a porn slideshow, none of the character is believable or has even any normal behavior, the story is also non existant and just a pretext to push porn scenes, you are "knocking up" women before even knowing them.


    The game cannot be more empty and shallow, having a lot of meaningless scenes is useless even if the renders are good.

    Ton of content for a game thats only been out half a year. Well written, not too many mistakes/poor language usage (few spelling mistakes).

    Interesting plot and decent amount of choices so far. Will definitely follow this one

    I thoroughly enjoyed this game! The storyline got me hooked, especially because the characters were so interesting. All the girls stood out; they were so beautiful.

    The visuals in the game are impressive. Although the animations are limited, it doesn't make the overall experience any worse.

    Renderings: 9/10
    Characters: 10/10
    Storyline: 8/10

    Overall, Him is an incredible game!
    Rating: 9/10

    Great game so far. Good setting, diversity of choices characters and roles (dominating, women actually get to do some light femdom instead of the dude just taking over) the pregnancy mechanic has potential to be a 10/10 which is very hard to find.

    Animations are great

    I've been waiting for a long time because this game has my favorite sexual activities, especially the queen theme... If you know of any games where we have sex with a queen and make her our own, please feel free to suggest it. I wanted it not to be a sandbox mode from the beginning, and that's what happened, maybe if I had wished for something else it would have happened. lol! Many thanks to the developer.

    One of the most promising stars right now. It's basically a power fantasy isekai where you fuck every women you come across.

    Stunning models and fluid animations.

    A lot of content for a new game.

    Dev listens to feedback and changes stuff for the better.

    Great feet shots.

    The story isn't the greatest but it's serviceable. Overall the gameplay is decent. All it's needs is to be fleshed out. And judging by the time frame it probably will.

    Not a fan of the feet stuff but hey it's there for the people that do like it. Great start imo.

    Quite the enjoyable game imo. Definitely still in development but so far I am finding it quite enjoyable. The choices make sense and I come back to the game quite a bit. 9/10. Good too since theres many choices for each scene.

    Sneak Monkey

    Really it all boils down to no effort put into story, writing, plot, worldbuilding etc. Nothing is conceivably believable and nothing has any depth at all.

    In fantasy writing a reader or viewer has to suspend disbelief, and we're willing to do that, almost everyone is. But only so far as it makes sense within what's being told, when it clashes with itself or is too silly then disbelief comes back and it's just written off as a waste of time.

    The MC is terrible because he's a 1 dimensional arsehole. He's obnoxious to everyone and that's the only setting he has, no depth, no story, no background for why he's insistent on being an antisocial idiot, he just is. Antiheroes are great, much more exciting than normal goody two shoes heroes always doing the right thing. This isn't an antihero, it's like an AI with one setting, be rude.

    The whole Isekei thing... it's just a cop out, it's the laziest way of telling a story and never results in anything good, because it's lazy.

    The world is also just badly thought out. Characters who are completely out of place, an MC completely out of place, none of it fits together and just all clashes weirdly. What's with the cook? Like I previously mentioned, a brothel, in a town where they're lacking in men and really excited that he's shown up. It just wouldn't exist, it literally couldn't. The world and it's coherance has not been thought about at all.


    The sandbox is irritating nonsense. Just a massive timewaster with a whole bunch of locations that you can't visit. Remove them then, don't leave them in. You'll spend most of your time, skipping time. Boring and annoying.

    Characters are all weirdly placed, but in some places have good potential, just 1 dimensional again. No real depth to any of them. Some are 2 dimentional which still isn't quite enough.

    All that aside, the renders are really good, sometimes... They're also really weirdly inconsistent, the MC looks like he also had as much thought put into him as the brothel nonsense. He's unfinished looking, hairless in a lazy way. There's the previously mentioned cook, who just looks wrong, placed where she is. Like a random character from somewhere else that accidentally got added in and no one noticed. A bit like a garden gnome someone added into a movie for a joke, that the director didn't see. Then the female characters who've been focused on, are actually really well rendered. Then the world is mostly half arsed, not quite been bothered with. It just feels confusingly half done but like I say, some are really good.

    A shame because the basic idea could be great, if it had a real MC, from the world it's set in, with an actual background story. If it had a bit of thought put into the set up, relevance of certain things even being there etc. Basically if most of it wasn't completely rushed, lazily done nonsense, it has potential to be great.
    It get's 2 stars because of Maia, and the potential for a good game, the rest is awful and needs to be totally redone cos it's just not really been thought about. But at least it'd only be redoing things that took about 10 seconds of thought.

    destroyerofassholes

    This game is an unrepentant, unapologetic, unpretentious power fantasy. Which makes it great amongst so many VNs trying to make grand tales without the writing ability to match.

    It's kind of a harem collector, but the story justifies it around a ridiculous world that makes it work or at least be somewhat plausible. You don't convince people with terribly written cringy romance attempts as you do in a standard isekai, everybody is just kind of crazy by themselves so it's hard to take it seriously. However improbable it is, it genuinely just works. It also helps that at least the starting cast leaves a great first impression, though the additional side characters have been quite disappointing in their writing. Just gotta see how it goes I guess, could be a fluke.

    Renders and models are great but animations are your standard daz3d mediocrity. Honestly I'd give it a 5 had the animations just matched the render quality.

    All in all, it's great as long as you don't expect a gripping story which this is not especially after the prologue (where the game loses a lot of steam very quickly). And you shouldn't be seeking this in amateur porn VNs anyway.

    Edit: The game got rewritten to be so much more serious, which inevitably made it terrible because the author does not have anywhere near the talent to back it up.
