Hmm, I am obligated to say 'ty for the list', but I don't like the fact that the uploaders are being so biased towards one specific genre. Why should a Sandbox be a Con?..you don't like repeatable scenes, I get it, but why exclude some while adding some that are wayyy below in the list?? Mythic Manor and Lust Harem in B?? Are we even playing the same game here? You're making a tier list of porn games bro, not the best AAA titles that came out in the last decade.

uploaders
Calling me an uploader is an insult :HideThePain: :Kappa:
Why should a Sandbox be a Con?
Yeah,just like tha said above,because it's called "my favorite",and I,personally,hate them
you don't like repeatable scenes
No,I would say it as I don't like this fucking grind
but why exclude some while adding some
because everything I added I found at least playable,and those I excluded - no
Mythic Manor and Lust Harem in B??
Yes,and I doubt there would be other persons who disagree with it

And still,everything I place on top is clearly better than everything below.Don't forget that "B" doesn't mean the game itself is bad

There are sandboxes that have no grind or even a VN mode, though the actual value for the story is often questionable at best. But the majority of "sandbox VNs" just tries to stretch content and waste player's time by inflating playtime and that is something that can be put as a negative any day.
Having to cycle through the same 5 lines of dialogue 10 days and nights for +1 point each to get a chance at a trigger for disjointed events is not "repeatable", it's just bad.

Tier list is subjective, if you dont like it then you can make your own list, do remember that the world doesnt revolve around you, for example for me most games on this platform that has a sanbox element usually just a developer incapable of writing a good story or dialogues and make it sandbox just to inflate game time with a few exception such as NLT media games which their latest game also not really that good compare to their 2nd project Treasure of Nadia.

On top of it, most HS1 sandbox game feel like they overstay their welcome, with longer and longer time between update, or the story drag on forever, A House in The Rift, Mythic Manor, Dark Magic, The Inn.

If you don't like grind you're probably not going to like God among Kings. It's strategy, but with a lot of pointless filler.

And Sweet Affection, of course. I last played it years ago when it was still called Research into Affection but even then the slow motion grind was so bad it almost spit sunflower seeds on the ground and threatened you with a knife... The initial premiss was hilarious though.

I cheated the hell out of it and then I enjoyed it a lot :KEK:
Has it's up and downs, but aside from the combat being painstakingly slow I wouldn't have called the side dialogues and stuff pointless filler :unsure:
Let's just call it an interesting experiment that should be repeated a bit differently :p

The fact I didn't cheat through the slow fights probably made me appreciate the side stuff a bit less, on top of the action limits in a day.

Oh,I didn't know it was a sandbox :HideThePain:
It is and it was a slow 1. One of the grindiest.

I don't know if the new dev changed it but back then the MC couldn't get a job because all employers demanded years of work experience, so he decided to make an incest corruption game to get experience... and to corrupt his own family as research.

Which begs the question, do you put ''incest corruption games'' on your resume when you apply to a company?

damn,was there that much grind?
It's not even about the grind itself, but it is a bit Fire-Emblem-esque grid based combat. And multiple comments/reviews+dev himself have stated that the range units move in tiles was set far too low and you take ages just moving pieces around. Plus action limits per round on the map. The system wasn't terrible in and of itself imo, but implemented a bit poorly or rather not that thought through and slowed everything down far too much.
As I said, it experimented with a bunch of things and those things certainly could have been a bit better in some regards.
Like the map rounds could have been main plot advances only and other activities could have been free of cost.
Units had levels to them, but too often you wanted to use a few units preferably causing the others to require actual repeated grind to catch up in levels. There certainly were some downsides, but I liked it overall due to my shortcuts :p

But all in all I honestly would have liked to see the story continued. But dev doesn't seem to want it, oh well :/
The fact I didn't cheat through the slow fights probably made me appreciate the side stuff a bit less, on top of the action limits in a day.
Yeah, I froze/edited all of that in URM and never cared again, that made it a surprisingly tolerable grind for me. And I really don't tolerate much of that.

Just finished that update.So,I pretty liked it,the whole arc reminded me l4d2 mission(not to mention horde sound and aid kits).If I didn't miss anything,there were no new sex scenes and it's kinda sad,cuz I wanted to see if they got better compared to the first release,where it was a 15 fps slide show.This time,there were some common animations,like shooting,driving,etc.They looked pretty good,but still,a few times I got a 15 fps vibe.Writing is great overall,I noticed some mistakes,but it doesn't really matter.As of choices,I need to finish it a few times to see if they actually affect anything or maybe some of them will have their impact later.
Some people discussed possible ntr there,personally,I got nothing against it,it would fit the dystopian setting,but,it clearly shouldn't invole Evelyn,I'm sure majority of people don't want to see your sister getting raped and I actually said it in the game thread months ago.Imho,the best option is to make it optional(all ntr content),but people have their takes.
Can't say a lot about the story,it's just a prologue,and for now,I don't see anything bad
My only problem is lis,idk,even if they have personallity,I don't find them attractive because of their design,maybe Irene just a bit,would like to see more of her further
So,overall,I want to up it to A,but having no animations stops me :unsure:

I dont think just because its dystopian doesnt mean that the main LI should get raped, its fine if a side character like it was in the first chapter but having the main LI getting raped in the later chapter is a big hell no for me, i've read some dark theme mangas like Highschool of the Dead and Kingdom none of the main female chars getting a situation like that at worst they're probably getting killed but not raped.
Personally i liked the visual and model, didnt like the plan of branches tho, at this point we just need more HS games, so many DAZ games being released or updated in the past 2 months and i just cant stand DAZ models lol

im just gonna state this first... i personally hate sandbox games. but i have noticed some games tagged with sandbox have option to just read the story like a normal VN. is there any on your list or any you all can think of posted like this that i may have just decided to overlook because sandbox tagged?
