Unreal Engine - Completed - Last Hope [v1.0174] [Poolside Games]

EDIT: As of playing v10, I give the game 4/5(previously 3/5) for the addition of several quality of life improvements.

I applaud this game for actually being a 3D game instead of a game with images of 3D renders.

However the models suffer from the same thing as so many other games in having exaggerated, unrealistic proportions. One thing I give big props for is the sister's nipples. I was very impressed with her having inverted nipples that can actually get erect.

Writing is not great. Very cheesy, very cliche and the "plot" of the GAIA machine needing cum is pretty contrived.

Animations are pretty good though I have had some camera issues, and some of the preset angles aren't very good. Would have prefered a free-flying camera option.

My biggest criticism is the lack of direction. I found myself bumbling around, not sure what NPCs are where at what times without tedious trial and error.

Some kind of objective log, or record of NPC schedule/locations would make it much more enjoyable. Knowing exactly what I have to do to move things along with an NPC would be good too instead of the vague "you know when you can progress if their outline is green.".

Game performance is also very bad. My computer isn't high-end anymore, but I shouldn't be getting 20fps when this isn't a very complex or graphically intensive game. It's only playable if I set things to very low, and it kinds of makes it ugly to play.

Last Hope is easily the most immersive adult game I've had the pleasure of encountering, both on the entire F95 website and elsewhere.

Gameplay:
The gameplay takes a 'One City Block' approach to the open world format. Where instead of the environment being as large as an ocean, and with the depth of a puddle, it is as large as a puddle but with the depth of an ocean.

The game is real time, first person perspective based (but you can change camera angles if you want during sex scenes), and consists of a small cast of characters that move and breathe life into the small confines of a space shuttle. Each character has a weekly rotation of activities they perform throughout each day, it's important to learn their schedules and movement patterns as you try to get closer to each person. Interacting with them at various locations for different potential scenes and romance opportunities. Each day being around 18 minutes long as the characters walk around going about their business.

Graphics:
If you're like me, you might be initially skeptical from the screenshots and perhaps the overtly large breasts of the character models. Don't be. I'm not sure how to explain it, but the art design for this game works incredibly well once you try playing it. Perhaps something about seeing the models in motion does their character designs better justice than any static image, but if this was a concern of yours don't hesitate to give it a try.

Story:
It's a porn game, and it's true to its roots. The premise of the story is amusingly ridiculous and is laid out within the initial few minutes of game play, but serves its purpose in creating a convoluted set of circumstances in which the main character would be motivated to seduce the women aboard. That said, I really liked the character dialog both in and out of the sex scenes. I've personally found that dialog can make or break a game for me. A game with great art and/or renders but terrible dialog, and sometimes I can't get past the opening tutorial. Likewise a game with great dialog will keep me engaged even when I find the art/renders lackingor nonexistent.

I won't say the dialog in this game is groundbreaking, but it's definitely well written and provocative enough that it keeps me interested in the characters' developing relationships, and gives the sex dialog that extra bite.

Conclusion:
My favorite game on F95, I think it's safe to say at this point. The game is not without its flaws but given that it's still in development, and has consistent updates nigh every month, I think in time whatever issues (mostly the occasional graphical hiccup, nothing major) will be worked out. While additional content will prove promising and rewarding.

It's a bit hypocritical for me to say this, as I myself had overlooked this game for almost a year, but I think this game considerably underappreciated and overlooked on this forum considering the quality of content it offers.

Give it a try.

Ok the reason this game is not a 5/5, is that there are some glaring quality of life issues that need to be addressed and some graphical problems that need to be solved.


So first of all, graphics are decent. I had to turn off bloom and motion blur because it gave me motion sickness. After that, i noticed that the graphics quality was very grainy despite the game on high settings. My resolution is 1920 x 1080. There are certain times where characters can clip through clothing is especially true on MC's daywear clothes. Also, i noticed that some of the clothes worn by the females are very ill-fitting in the sense that it looks bizzarre instead of sexy. A good example is the default swimwear of Adrianna and default daywear of Natasha. Im not sure if they should change the proportions or just adjust the clothing size or length but it is jarring. Also, the wet hair of the girls looks bad. Like really bad.

The writing is decent if not a bit cliche but this is a porn game not a novel so i dont particularly mind. But i would like to point out that certain dialogues should be updated after certain events have occurred.For example, in Natasha's arc, you get a footjob from her pretty early on before her blowjob scene but she's only surprised about it during the BJ scene. I think the developers did well in the newer scenes such as the fancy dinner party so overall, its a small nitpick.

Gameplay, the gameplay is good. The minigames are few and far in between and can be played with 1 hand if thats something important to you except the moneymaking game which still requires 2 hands for aiming. The sex scenes are well animated and definitely the highlight of this game. The animations are so hot and smooth that its worth the wait to unlock them unlike some games which when they do have animated scenes, are very jarring or clunky. I would like to say that more positions during sex scenes would be great but I understand the developers desire to pace out the content since they are planning more stuff for the game.


A big con for me is how vague the hints are on how to unlock the sex scenes. I initially had made a first playthrough and i thought i had completed all the content when the progression page revealed that i had unlocked everything in the current version. I was disappointed then but after reading through some of the comments, i realized that there was more to it so i stuck around and kept trying to figure out how to trigger the sex scenes for all the girls. So far, ive only managed to trigger Adrianna bathroom and fancy dinner scenes and Katherine bedroom scene but havent been able to figure out any of Natasha's and the other sex scenes from Adrianna and Katherine.

I think if they just changed the hint system to be less vague, and cleanup some of the clipping and hair issues then this is gonna be an easy 5 star rating for me.

As it is now, i would still recommend this game to anyone looking for a good NSFW game.

Pretty solid game. Definitely a go-to for me. Where to start...

Gameplay: 7/10 - First-person open world exploration. It's an affection grind but paced pretty well. This is one of those games where the girls are on a schedule and you have to find them at the right time doing certain activities. At first learning that is pretty annoying, but given the content I think its definitely worth it.

Mechanics: 6/10 - You really don't do much in the encounters with the girls. Click to begin, then just "next" and move the camera. The POV camera is often in a worthless spot and you can't move around the secondary cameras. Not game breaking, but it's annoying in more than just a few scenes.

Graphics: 9/10 Great quality. Easily among the best on the site. The character models look great and more importantly this shit is unique and interesting. No other game looks like this.

Why not 10? Some of it's nitpicky, like bad texture/animation jobs where hair clips into the character model. But honestly... I just don't like inverted nipples. One character has them and I wish I could toggle that lol

Content: 8/10 - Plenty of it and very high quality. And the newest releases keep getting better.

Finaly an unreal tournament engine- made game that is realy good in it's plot, If the developer can remake the models it would be the greatest game

good going, and good luck though
(I bet it ain't easy)

Best Unreal Engine game out there ! Story is meh, but all the animations and characters are great. It would be amazing to add more dreams with random girls. Controls are smooth and gameplay is fluent. Only thing that would be great is to make the option to skip an hour not with the bed but with some item from the inventory for example.

First of all the narative is very good
Graphics are good
GamePlay is simple but it fulfeels it purpose
Sound needs to be more realistic but the game is still in development
All in all i like it very mutch. Since reviews are subgjective I can say that even if there are problems I feel it is the first game of this genre that I like so mutch.

The game that other game makers should take examples from this game.
- A character creation should be added. It would be perfect.
-Fully information about progress ex. what did you miss etc.
-This game has a lot of potentials.
Thanks for making this game.

Version: v17.1

Pros -
Good animation and setting.
Milfs
A fine 3D game.
The game has a good way of showing you on what's new I.E. checklist and colors on the schedule.

Meh -
All of the woman are mostly just the same body type.

Cons -
Don't like the MC's character face.
A bit of down time between waiting for characters to move to there next spots.

TLDR - It's a great game, hope to see more.

Finally a rare non-visual novel that looks very promising.
- It is quick to increase relationships;
- Quick to get to places;
- Has hidden events;
- There's only one lesbian event, I hope more will come.

The 3d environment coupled with the caracter movment and first person perspective really adds to the immersion.

Game still contains all the standard tropes and multiple camera angles for scenes and all are done very well.

Also big boobs+++++

Best erotic game I've played! The game as of now mainly features handjobs, blowjobs, and titjobs. This might not appeal to everyone but this is EXACTLY the game I've been looking for! The handjob animations are top notch!! I sincerely hope the focus stays as is (handjobs, blowjobs, and titjobs). Will be subbing to the patreon for sure!

playable but needs work, dont use the vile at 11pm or else you will soft lock the game, i permanently lost the camera for some reason after talking to adrianna asking her for pictures. SO MANY LONG TRANSITIONS EVEN FAKE LOADING WHEN GOING TO THE STORE, filling the vile is literally a chore and it feels almost intentional with its long black screen pause and it gets annoying when you need to do this 3 times a day in-game. The character models are fine under some lighting where in some occasions they look kinda creepy. The dialog box doesnt know whos talking sometimes and the MC will say lines meant for the girl to say. Didn't cum but Its a free game and i didnt expect this game to be polished, but it has potential and will probably check it out again.

One of the best porn games I've played, and I've played A LOT since around 2014 (not including ones like swfchan, otherwise we're talking 2006-2007).
This game offers a fully animated first person exploration instead of the standard renpy or RPG Maker.
Sure, it's a little laggy at first, but mess with the settings by reducing resolution, making it winowed, change anti aliasing and shadowing etc.

ANYWAY

Story:
You play as a guy stuck on a ship with his family and circumstances require you to use your sperm to fuel the ship.
That's it, it's nice and simple with character interactions added to it.

Animation:
The animation is pretty decent, but there are some things like camera and character models that take getting used to.
I can't comment much on this as I am unable to test max graphics fairly.
I wouldn't recommend trying this on an average PC.

Gameplay:
Can be annoyingly grindy at times and the frame rate shoots up in the bedroom area. Other than that, it's simple and straightforward.
No massive maps with exploring to do, just a few small ones.
Saveditor also works if you can't be bothered with the grind.

One of the best games this year. This game makes fun to play and the characters are awesome. This game have so much potential, and the artist should be keep this game alive, because he can reach very much attention after some time. This game will be one of the most downloaded and played games. Hopefully we get more Characters and finall vaginal sex in the next time.

Floating in space with unlimited food and other stuff with the only thing which will rescue you and the crew is sperm.

The game play is kind of interesting but the somewhat boring grind holds it back.
For a porn game it doesn't really shine through as the current sex scenes are kind of lame.
Speaking of shining, most sex scenes or nudity is too dark even with brightness set to max.
The camera angles are also kind of stupid as far as I'm concerned. I want to see some close ups of female genitalia!
One aspect of the game is to spy on your crew mates, the cameras you place are fixed at a current angle and focus which makes the whole thing kind of boring. I see that it's not realistic to have camera angles on a camera with a fixed location, but the other scenes have different angles.

Even tho' the incest has to be enabled by a patch which I didn't use the developer hasn't been bothered to clean up the text enough for this not being yet another "I fuck my family"-game.
So if anyone at Patreon actually followed up the games they host this game would probably be pulled.
That being said the animation tag got me here and the hope of incest being off if not using said patch I'm slowly regretting playing this game, however the tag in the OP is correct.

The banner image is false marketing as no such scene exist!

However the game does have potential and someday there will be more sex scenes and if the apparent incest is removed when NOT using the patch I'll update this review.
But for now version 5.0 only get 2/5

i hope this game doesn't get abandoned like all the other great games i took interest in.
it got pretty good story line , the teasing is just the right amount.
great game... thats all i really gotta say , its defiantly forth playing
waiting for new versions

If there is any game worth paying for, its this one. You'll find tons of VN's, most of them built on Ren'Py, but this Unreal based, 3D free walking, space themed game not only has a TON of potential, but it also has surprisingly a lot of content and scenes to discover.

If you dont want to rewatch the same scenes over and over, and just want to see the new ones, the game will even tell you by having a red or green outline around the characters before you start an event.

The only grindy thing that could easily be removed from the game without anyone missing it, is the space mining minigame. Thankfully, it can be skipped by hacking the save file for resources (matter).

TL;DR;
Pros
- The models are amazing (NOT stock Unity assets as far as I can tell)
- The characters are distinct and interesting, each one with seemingly their own personality
- The sex scenes are arousing and offering you several points of view
- The pacing is pretty decent, starting slightly slow but progressing reasonably fast
- The space theme and overall rooms and corridors design is convincing enough, giving you the feel that you are on a spaceship (not to mention the windows)
- The moans of the characters are pretty good, not amazing, but very good
- The graphics are overall great

Cons
- The game may be a bit demanding, so older machines will struggle
- While the graphics are overall great, the game could do with some improvements here and there
- The space mining minigame is dull and repetitive, its a pointless grind imo
- ??? Cant find anything else....

I recommend it, and would recommend it again. Probably the best game (of its kind) I've played, by far.

Great game, plenty of content.
It knows what it is and it works because of it. You are in an isolated location with chick, you bang them because of "plot" and it works.
I like it.
I hope either in this game, or the next game we get to customize the looks of the characters, and perhaps a bit more interaction but overall its still a good game.

My favorite patreon game in the website.

This is a full free roam 3D game with some RPG aspects: collect items, increase relationship levels and fulfilling some conditions to trigger some events.

Right now, in Version 3 Version 10 Version 14
Cons:
- Limited control of undressing for the girls. New scenes now allow you to undress the girls. Unfortunately older events didn't get updated.
- There are only 3 girls and customizing options are almost non existant limited to clothing (more clothing options added in version 14)
- The game starts a little bit grindy
- Camera control is a bit poor (Free Camera was added in version 14)

Pros:
- Free roam 3D
- Free camera sex scenes
- Concise story, not too much text
- Adequate amount and quality of lewd stuff. It focuses on foreplay, real sex is still incipient. Updates added a great amount of high quality content, including real sex.
- The game is in a playable state (not only playable, but also enjoyable) this early in the development process Great game; feels like it is almost finished.
