House Party [v0.21.2] review
What it is: Full 3d scavenger hunt gameplay during a house party.
Positives:
+ AMAZING voice acting. That shit is funny yo.
+ Cool dynamics between the characters and their environment.
+ Really complete game, with hours of (non-sex) content.
Negatives:
- The sex scenes are just plain bad. No interactions during sex scenes. This really defeats the purpose of having a full 3d game. It's just a short movie playing out. It's really baffling that the camera locks during sex because throughout the rest of the game the camera is free to move around. (Well, I found one exception, the Stephanie sex scene, but that's not enough to keep me from docking points.) It's really weird that the sex scenes are so sub-par when the rest of the game is so extremely polished. Also, the first sex scenes are really deep into the game, so be prepared for some frustrating hours before you get to play 'hide the sausage'.
- The models and the scenes aren't up to 2022 modern standards. They feel stiff, and there's a lot of clipping. The jiggle physics are stiff. Skin textures are kinda basic.
- The game is utterly unplayable without a walkthrough, and still very hard while using the provided walkthrough, because it's outdated. Seriously, don't even think about trying this without a walkthrough because there are a million ways to fuck up and lock yourself out of content.
- Content within the game is often either/or choices. If you want to experience this game 100 % you'll need a million playthroughs. Or a million different saves at all the branches. Which will be hard because it isn't always clear that a branching choice has been made.
- It's too easy to fuck up your playthrough. Try to flirt with a character in the wrong way 1 time and you're forever locked out of a sex scene with that character. Help character A, and suddenly you're locked out from progress with character B. Drink 1 beer with the wrong character watching and it's instant game over. This kind of gameplay forces you to mash that save button all the time, and when you forget it you'll have to repeat the same stuff you already did again and again. Easily 1/3 of my time with this game was spent replaying events I already did because I forgot to save and then fucked up. Games which put heavy emphasis on save/load and repeating gameplay are rarely good, and this game is no exception.
All in all, I recommend this game if you aren't in it for the lewds because the writing and voice acting is really good and funny. But if you are here for a fap, forget about it. 0 faps were had during my time with this game.
