Let me start by saying that I only started playing Illusion games within the last 2 months, and only play the game itself for the game itself and have no current intentions of ever doing anything beyond that. I've tried Honey Select 1,2, Koikatu, Sexy Beach 3, Premium, AA2, AI G3, AI S, and Play Home. Out of those, I've settled on Honey Select 2, Sexy Beach 3, and Koikatu >> AI S was just too much of a pain to want to continue bothering with and I didn't really like the voices / personality choices or performance costs, tho that could change.
The review, includes DX:
The animations are excellent and fluid, and if there are issues with clipping, the Better H-scene Mod fixes them. The sexual stimulation is about as good as it gets in a game. All dialog is voiced with sliders for pitch adjustment, no small feat. Personality choices are varied and all excellent, also no small feat. The AI is very good at adapting to the player and staying within the character personality setups; that too, is no small feat. Customization is top tier, no really, no other games come close. POV is a mess to me. Constantly shaking the * camera, giving no options to stop the shake, so I now adjust the camera where I want, make the MC character disappear, and that solves THAT problem. POV view in this game, as is, is just fundamentally flawed; sorry, but it is. In short, Illusion has spoiled me, and spoiled me to the point where I now avoid all but a very short list of RenPY_VN's.
The story is where the game falls short. Everything is tied to an event. Want to take a bath, event. Want to take a shower, event. Want to use the bathroom, event. Looking for some sort of goal?, talk, sex, repeat. Want to hangout with your created waifu's, well.., you can talk. There is no story and there isn't much to do in this 'game' outside of, the obvious. Is that an issue? Very much so. The stimulation is only or mainly in the sex scenes. Looking past this, this is a great game, but if you're looking for anything past the obvious, you'll be left wanting.

Chromatic Aberration -5/5
POV Screen Shake -5/5
Two things really hurt this game. The already mentioned POV Screen Shake and Chromatic Aberration. They cannot be turned off and I don't count mods, in rating this game. The base game sucks on these 2 notes, and I don't know what the developers were even thinking adding these things in as non-optional. Rating reduced to 3 stars. It really should be 2 stars, however the great things about this game are great enough to sustain a 3-star rating.
