Unreal Engine - Completed - Last Hope [v1.0196] [Poolside Games]

It feels like i have been following this one for years. I forgot it was even a thing. anyway, I am glad to say the final product deserves 5 stars and I am not the only one to think so. Congradulations to Poolside Games for delivering this. It has good graphics, good story (good for what it is aiming at; it is no baldur's gate but it's also not just ctrl skip to sex scenes)and good very low-grind gameplay.
My only negative point is that you cannot have the girls roam around in the uniform from the banner but it is not worth removing a star.

Game is finally complete! Going to keep this short and sweet: it's undeniably one of the best games on the entire website, it's a must play if you're into the... landlady genre - even has pregnancy which just makes it that much better.

Maybe the best incest game.

To be a perfect game, they need mods and a huge comunity.

Graphique : good
Voice : nice but repetitive
Character : Gorgeous, but need change body (only huge boobs)
Bonus : Pregnancy !!!

The quality of the graphics created in Unreal Engine is impressive and truly immerses the player in a world full of possibilities. Good Job.
I loved the girls and settings, which added layers of depth to the experience.

One of the best UE games on this website. I'm just having fun walking around the ship and interacting with the girls. There's just a little problem with the progression, it's not as linear as it should be. Sometimes you feel like you've missed a step in the progression of the relationship with the girl.
Still top tier.

Until now, the best game in its genre. Ofc it could have more polish here and there, but the story is very good, the mechanics are well thought, and it provides a good play experience. Looking forward for future updates, the Steam release, and further work by the author.

The most functional actually complete UE game on this site which is not just a scene viewer sandbox, honestly just for that fact alone this is a 5, the scenes are great, there are some minor clipping issues sometimes but it's not a big deal, more scenes and events in epilogue would be great otherwise basically perfect.

Great game, I love the graphics, the plot, models, but mostly the freedom to move around and interact with the characters.
It runs smoothly on my PC with great framerates.
The only thing I would like to improve is the brightness, it's a bit too dark for me.

Amazing game. Works nicely, characters feel realistic, story is standard but done well, not a slog to play through, minigames are actually mini and not annoying, pregnancies, runs well...
This is probably one of the best games on this site, and made me pay the creator on patreon instantly.
It could be improved (from an already very high level)

-More interaction during sex scenes. There is some but more could always improve it.

-Pregnancy Storyline could conclude before the epilogue so there's more to it.


But like I said, these would be an improvement from an already high level. If you play just a single game from this site, play this one.

my first review ever, the only game i want to comment so far

it's a compilation of everything i like in the adult games:
-sandbox (not ctrl fap) - check
-great models and animations - check
-map and schedule - check
-time skip - check
-sex attitude progression - check
-wardrobe - check

one thing could make it the best game ever for me - more poses during one sex event

[v20.6]
Cool combination of visual novel and first-person game.

But I hate the grind...

-Story, Originality
You are a guy-pilot-son-graduate and you become a part of a colonisation ship's crew.
But you are a single man on board and we know what will happen...

-Renders
Cool 3D models and okay animations.

-Sound
Good sounds and music.

-Playability
You will grind for a long time to see every h-scene...
Probably have to play for 3-5 hours to get everything.

-Performance
Runs okay.

-Bugs
Didn't see any.

-Animations
Okay animations, but you have to repeat them a lot, for progress.
Due to that you can become tired of these animations.

-Voice Acting
No voices (Or there are? Don't remember hearing any).

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Very good ammount of content, but there is a lot of grind.
I don't like to grind a lot.

And I don't think it is wise to include h-scenes into the grind, because that way those h-scenes won't exite you after several times.

So.
Good game, but has some stuff I don't like.

Great game, enjoyed it very much. it would be cool if there was more alien shenanigans or options that would manipulate the characters . like the gas that made them dumb it would be cool if it was optional to keep it on and have some dumb, and naïve girl play.

cant wait to redownload after some more updates or when poolside comes out with new game.

In my opinion this is the best adult game i've played so far. The story is not the game's strength but the 3d gameplay is pretty good.
I personally love the big titted girls but would prefer if it was a bit harder to achieve different scenes with them.

The best game for combining graphics and plot! Respect and respect to the developer as the project is being improved and refined. I give him a well-deserved 5, and I expect similar projects from him in the future, with a similar plot.

easily one of the best Unreal Engine games out there. It's enjoyable to play, the girls are hot, the scenes are hot and the patch makes it even better.

only reason its not 5 stars is bc you can easily mess the pacing up. it seemed like a normal corruption type of game with great pacing and then out of nowhere im in the swimming pool piping the mom out. really ruined a lot of the build up for me unfortunately.

and when something like this happens- the dialogue doesnt end up reflecting what happened. you could be full blown having sex with a character and then discover another scene where that character gives you a handjob. during the handjob scene they'll act like its so wrong to be doing this like you werent just blowing her back out 5 mins before.

would have been really nice if there was some way to streamline the progression of lewd acts

Best game. Following thigs can add more fun in game.
1. Character customization
2. Different space jobs
3. More locations. e.g. earth, neighboring planet.
4. More character details and Natural movement

This review is for v20.1

Holy crap, my dick hurts.
I wasn't expecting much going into this since 3D adult games tend to be very underwhelming, but god damn this one really delivers.
It has a nice pace to the gameplay in that you can take your time because there is no severe urgency in the plot pushing you forward (at least as far as your character knows).

The models are fantastic, even if there is quite a bit of clipping during sex scenes, but that's more a problem with the camera physics than the model physics.

The only problems I have had with it so far is:

1. repetition:
   To unlock all scenes or even progress in old ones, you have to figure out how to tell what the color scheme in character highlights and schedule colors mean (green seems to mean that there are unviewed scenes, Yellow means there are prerequisites blocking your way forward, and black/red means you have seen all currently available content) which wouldn't be much of a problem if it weren't for the fact that you have no idea what the triggers are or what you need to do beforehand to move forward, some scenes only unlocking if you progress the story, but you'll only find that out through repetition.
   
   
2. underwhelming sex scenes:
   While the content is all good, it falls short in giving the player control over what happens in each scene, some scenes requiring you to choose very specific actions to move forward at different times. Then, once you have finally initiated any sort of sexual encounter, it ends all too quickly, with typically the only next option being to cum right after you just started fucking. One character repeatedly calls this out, saying she wishes that the player would last longer, although that goes away the further you progress with her since she becomes pretty satisfied with the very short sex. Even just adding some minor controls to give more control to the player would be a massive improvement (ie: sex speed, sabotaged condoms, dominant/submissive roles, etc.).
   
   
3. Grind:
   This aligns with #1 in that it lengthens the gameplay unnecessarily by making you grind out events to either get material, love, or "Gaia fuel". The grind for love and fuel is easy so not really worth bringing up except to highlight the areas in which grinding is required.
   Grinding for material though, that is the annoying one because at best you can get around 2k per day, which is enough to buy maybe one item a day, and then you have to wait a whole day before you can get more since the only "defense" ship available has a battery life shorter than an Iphone's, which also basically means that it would be completely useless in any kind of fight since it gets maybe 2 minutes tops of power before it needs 24 hours to recharge.
   
   4. Event items:
   So this only really applies to two items that I know of at the moment.
   Birth control pills, and Wine.
   The Birth Control pills are tied to story progression and you need them before you can even begin to knock up you partners, which doesn't make any sense at all because the excuse is that you can then convince them to have unprotected sex with you while you swap out the pills with placebos. The only problem with this is that there are multiple scenes you can access where you have unprotected sex with them BEFORE you get the pills and they never bring it up (on a related note, only very specific sex scenes actually count as sex scenes for giving partners the BC pills since you can have sex with Nat but you can't give her the pills until you trigger a specific sex scene).
   The wine is more of an annoying one to figure out at first since Nat says she will hide it in the Flight Deck, but the first bottle you need to get from her is left literally on her bedroom counter, then the rest start popping up in the flight deck/med bay.
   
   
4. Inconsistent Scene Progression:
   As mentioned above, you can trigger some scenes before others even though others make more sense to trigger first. In my case, I had sex with some of the characters and then they would act like it was not the first time during those scenes, meaning I needed to trigger a different scene first for it to make any sense. A very minor problem, but still a bit of a negative.

All-in-all, it is a very good game with just a few little hang-ups that could be adjusted to make things flow better and I definitely recommend playing it (just don't play too much in one day, or you might hurt yourself).

The best part about Last Hope is that it actually has game elements, and isn't just a glorified scene viewer.
It easily could've been a visual novel and I'm very glad it isn't - the free roaming nature of it simply makes it more immersive.
Animations, models and textures are pleasing to look at.
Only two downsides I can think of is that progression can get a bit grindy and the breasts are comically large.

Wish there were more games like this, 5/5.

This was my first ever adult 3D game. Loved the characters and scenes. A great game overall, very enjoyable.
EDIT: 24/11/2023 - it's now in its finished state, much polished and a lot of improvement. Great work, dev!

Pretty fun game imo, the animations are some of the best I've seen, would had loved some longer sexscenes trough
The materials, can be a bit grindy, flying around in a small spacecraft, to shoot astroids and collect materials, get's kind of boring in the long run, there is upgrades, but could have used a better upgrade for the collector imo
lot's of good stuff in this one
