Recommending List of my favorite Honey Select 1&2 games [upd 6.11.25]

[cubba]

I feel the focus is too much in how the games look instead of story and writing.
If those two had more weight, a bunch of games would (and should) switch ratings.

e.g.
Sicae: Looks ok and but has shallow elementary school anime writing (grammar also sucks) -> B on a good day
Nature of Magic: Looks ok as well but is very well written and has a better story -> A

Just because a game looks dope doesn't mean it's good. It's not working for AAA games and it's not working here.
(Yeah, I'm one of those who are happy with pixels if story and writing are good enough )

if it was focused too heavily on looks then cradle would probably be A/S and agent17 might even make the list. i think its balanced between looks/story quite fairly

sometimes we all forget that this is not a general list, but the favorite projects of one person

Yeah,ngl,it's pretty important to me,I can't stand really ugly visuals even if the story is great,so it's better to be balanced

Yeah,that's what my possible tier changes posts are for

Nature of Magic: Looks ok as well but is very well written and has a better story -> A

btw,I also wanted to up it to A It's just I played just very first update,so I need to play it again before making decision.The one thing I dislike is,not a single character attracts me,I mean,it's an avn overall,it has to have something hot

Just because a game looks dope doesn't mean it's good. It's not working for AAA games and it's not working here

True,that's why a lot of really good looking games are not here,for example,those iIIusory mentioned,or new ones(existence,artifice),or something like Porntals,etc.

sometimes we all forget that this is not a general list, but the favorite projects of one person

True,and I also I believe it's really hard to make something "objective",like,even in case of Eternum,some pople would disagree with it being on S

Yeah, objectivity in that regard is tough to balance. Of course, you might agree that some of those games are objectively good, but that doesn't mean that they'll be collectively considered and regarded as S tier.

You mentioned Eternum, and while most of us agree that it's a really solid game, perhaps some people might not see it as something extraordinary, each one has their preferences. With Realm Invader people might argue that, while the humour is good, it might have way too much of it, which in the end can affect the overall experience. I've already mentioned my concerns with Pale Carnations, but like I said, some players might not enjoy having 3 main LIs as "prostitutes" and how the main fetishes can make you feel uncomfortable. Or others won't like Ripples that much because they're not into the whole time travel shenanigan.

In the end you made a really solid and decent list that, while of course it's influenced by your taste, still manages to be as objective as possible with the pros and cons, the target audience of the games and how well they deliver, the story/writing, render quality, etc.

Inanna Revenge only B tier ? It is one the highest rated new HS game. It has good characters, a story that you can easily follow (many game i completely forget the story the time I play it again), great animation, the dev is also dedicated, at least his update are consistent with one game complete (Always Fan). Also it's not NTR, it's NTS, i don't play that route but you don't play as a wimp on NTS route but rather just you using the LIs's body to further your goal.

If we are talking about Inanna Revenge,Driven by desire...I don't even remember that I played them

And briefly,a bit updated possible tier changes:

Inanna Revenge B -> A

I might change it when I have mood to play it

 

[Padorublad3]

Changelog 1.09:
Inanna Revenge B -> A. Spent a few hours playing it,I think i'm still far away from the current ending,but I pretty liked everything.It's something like a classic isekai story,but the dev collected all the cliches Animations are pretty good tho,the point is,not only the sex scenes are animated.Combat system seems pretty easy,but as I found out writing it,you could change the difficulty in settings.I will probably fix the tags once I finished it.
So..Also,I changed a table a bit.Now,it has just "HS" column instead of engine,and there is a small note about it

Acronyms:
HS - Honey Select(Find out about them here 1 and 2)

Now,game status has its colour,at first,I wanted to leave just first letters,something like,O,A,C. But I didn't really like how it looks like,so I will leave complete words
Ongoing
Abandoned
Completed

Now,it's clarifed(even if it was obvious)

• Here is no loli/shota!

Another game I found Lucid Has decent amount of content and nice LIs. Also who are the girls on the main main poster?.
I know 2 of them from New Horizon and Wild Cats

 

[iIIusory]

it's a fmc game (no forced encounters/hardcore), but reya the elf genuinely has some of the best custom hs animations on this site - especially scenes from the newer updates. id def play it with the 0x52 mod bc sandbox sucks

 

[Padorublad3]

Yeah,it's in the checklist below the table.But,tbh,I don't remember it being a good game,just looking at screenshots,it's neeeh.The reviews don't look like a green light as well,but who knows

2.Cradle Beyond the Veil
4.Mayfly

Also planned for a long time,at first,I thought it focused on lesbian,looking at the tags now,I think I got it wrong

yeah the screenshots are from early game idk why its never been updated. newer scenes are great and have a ton of selectable angles. the reviews mainly criticize the sandbox aspect which i 100% agree with. its a grindfest if you dont use mods. but the version uploaded is the patreon one which gives u cheats to help the grind

i also just think her character design is really hot so i may be biased

Hey, nothing wrong with a fmc game

Just found a recent game I missed
https://f95zone.to/threads/lens-lust-prologue-dreamveil.268711/
Just wanted to add it looks like it's made by the same dev who made Eldoria,and yeah,he just changed his nick.
Graphics look great as always,let's see what it's about

hmmm Eldoria was quite good and he abandoned that because of music I think, I really wouldn't trust a dev that has abandoned two projects already and the latest one before this was actually quite promising.

He abandoned Eldoria with a stupid reason too, pretty sure anywhere you go copyright is copyright and you WILL get hit with it especially if you're using it on a product that's meant to generate revenue. If your whole project is dependent on one aspect then you're just completely idiotic to think that it would stand. Image a house's foundation but only one of the pillars are actually built correctly and sturdily, do you think the house would collapse on itself since there's only one pillar built right?

Still can't believe that he abandoned Eldoria JUST because he couldn't use the music anymore, you're telling me that you put all your eggs in the basket but the basket itself is already fickle enough and can break any minute?

Is actually the reason? There was just one prologue episode,it's not that hard to replace the music

yeah I checked the main thread and this is what the dev said

Important Update: Eldoria Discontinued + New Project

Hey everyone,

I’ve got some big news to share.

Unfortunately, Eldoria has been taken down from

You must be registered to see the links

and Patreon due to copyright warnings related to the anime music used in the game. That music played a huge role in setting the atmosphere and emotional tone I wanted for the story, and without it, Eldoria just wouldn't feel the same. After a lot of thought, I’ve made the tough decision to end development on it this week.

But with every ending comes a new beginning...

Introducing My New Project: Lens Lust
This next game keeps the same art style and adult tone you’ve come to expect—but with fully original characters, a brand-new setting, and a soundtrack made from safe, royalty-free music to ensure no copyright issues moving forward.

Along with this new direction, I’ll also be rebranding my creator name, Patreon, and Discord. “AniWorld_NSFW” was a great fit for Eldoria, but it’s time for a fresh identity that matches the vision of Lens Lust.

Thank you all for your understanding, support, and patience. I can’t wait to show you what's coming next. Expect teasers, sneak peeks, plot reveal and sfw/nsfw wallpapers of Lens Lust very soon!

The new one doesnt look good too, the story is just a complete copy from trash manhwa called Rooftop sex king, after abandoning 2 games for a silly reason i dont think this new one would last long lol.
