VN - Ren'Py - Long Road Home [Ep.15] [OBDGames]

Tl;DR:
It's an outstanding game, long and enjoyable. It took me three full days to play it through (non-stop, instead of going outdoors and catching last summer sun rays), even though I skipped the content with Juanita and Chloe (not my type women).

At the beginning I wasn't fascinated with "Long Road Home", as it seemed that it lacked beautiful models. But it gets better and better with every update, so now (Ep.9) I can say there are many beautiful women.

You can choose to pursue certain relationship or not, and there are really many options to choose from.

Every character stands out, with their own style and circumstances. The relationships are pretty natural, usually with some depth and nice romance.

The story is entertaining and rich with details.

Likewise, renders are detailed and well done. (There are a few of lesser quality, but they don't really matter).

The grammar might be imperfect at times, but the general writing style is good. The pacing is perfect. (I found only a few times where a sentence or two could be omitted for brevity).

There are really many sex scenes, with decent variety and nice animations. (At times I even wished them be less in quantity but more in length and sophistication).

It's not your regular porn game, despite the fact that there is a harem of sorts, and nearly all the girls quickly start to like the protagonist very much. (It's OK for me, I know it happens in real life too, even if very rarely).

Conclusion: play it and support it.

[v0.9.0]

A classic 20th century motorcycle gang style game . Good mod and easy patterns is the basis for my reviews . This work has a unique advantage , The plot is very long and wonderful , The MC develops at different times throughout the story , Worth to play .

To be honest, I only played this game because most of the other games I'm following haven't updated in a while, or had short updates. Initially I was hesitant, the prison/military story was intriguing, but the trailer trash models were a bit offputting. Jessy quickly grew on me as a nice looking model and had some tragic backstory that made her into a "real" person. I still don't particularly like the Tracy model (except when the Dev has her in the shower, then she's HOT!) but, then, I'm not into MILFs. Initially I tried the blue path and, honestly it's a great, yet simple path. It's not the "real" story, but you can see an ex con with PTSD being perfectly happy with a nice business, a nice house, a hot mom and daughter combo. My only complaint is did you HAVE to show that last image with the mullet and the white trash pregnancies? I mean, did you HAVE to??? The red path is very well done, the dialogue is witty, the MC is a badass without being a tool. He's a white knight who isn't afraid to do what's necessary to protect what's his. All the characters have well written stories. You can see the foreshadowing where the Reba character will turn from her evil ways and seek redemption. The "bad guys" aren't TOO badly cliched and are also well written. Hell, even the "chad" fiancee is amusing. Even the throwaway side characters are amusing (EG the waitress who throws out hotel California reference) I played expecting nothing and was MORE than pleasantly surprised. Give this one a try!

v 0.8.5

tl;dr I like it, the story is good but the rest average at best. There is next to nothing which stands out.

The game is good and all but its so basic, it could be a regular at Starbucks...

1. First of all, there are no "real" choices. Choices are either "get a sexy scene" or "get no sexy scene" and most of the choices have some kind of color code which pretty much tells you what to do for lewds
2. That leads to the next part, there is sex and nudity everywhere... Every chick jumps MC at the latest the day after they met him and it feels like the chicks are more often nude than wearing something at all
3. The girls are mostly hot but the graphics are outdated and thats pretty sad since some of them are hot as hell!
4. The story is interesting but the constant waves of tits/asses/pussies just wash over you so you cant really appreciate the story that much.

This is a solid game for Harem lovers. Renders were a bit rough at the beginning but the dev is growing with each new update. Now we have some hot girls to play with.
Storywise the game is more interesting than the usual weg even if some tropes are present in it. Not the usual student and landlady tale though, here we play as a convict trying to start again.
The music is being added now so not much to say in that front.
Overall and excellent game with no false pretenses.

Edit: Chapter 7 and especially 8 showed dramatic improvements in lewd scenes, so that most of the criticism below does not apply to those chapters. I will leave my original review, as it does apply to chapters 1-6, but I have improved the rating to 3 stars. Chapters 7 and 8 would be 4-5 stars on their own.

Original review
Mostly good plot, funny and adult MC. The girls are hot and the animations get better. Unfortunately there's no emotions, romance or passion whatsoever, very little dirty talk and the lewd scenes are very technical, so it all feels very lifeless. In lewd scenes you get a menu to see several angles, usually in a normal and a fast speed version. You have to click through them to finish the scene, and the accompanying text consists of "unh, unh" and "I'm coming!" 99% of the time. I love cumplay, but not even that is hot in this game. I did not get hard a single time as far as I can remember. Finally in chapter 7 there's a scene with Rachael after the dinner with her mother and sister that doesn't feel empty and is actually hot. The lack of emotions is at least partly due to the fact that most of the girls are basic sluts who prefer a FWB relationship with MC to a romantic one and they like to fuck with the other girls as much as fucking with the MC. Apart from personal tastes, my biggest gripe with this game are the missing tags. There's lots of NTR in the form of the LIs fucking each other without MC and some NTR-ish stuff in the form of other guys watching/groping LIs. Now I do understand that most guys don't "count" girl on girl NTR but it would be nice to make a note about this in the description of the game. Personally I would be happy with the girl on girl scenes if they asked MC for permission more often. The way it is, this is not really a harem game, more a polyamory, err, polyfuckery game (there's no love, so it can't be polyamory). The second tag it's missing is rape (of a LI, not done by MC).


Regarding the tags: Why not just tag it? It would save time for me and bad reviews for the dev. If you don't want to use the "official" tag system, so people won't filter your game out in searches based on a NTR tag, at least put it in the description.

One good thing I have to say is, I love the social commentary and political jabs. Might be harder to digest if you're on the side getting shit on though.

First, my apologies, dev, 'cause I could have sworn I gave this VN a rave review months ago but, I must have imagined it. Honestly, I probably figured a story as good as this one didn't need my help. After reading all 60 reviews I have realized I could never do what you do. There is no way this VN deserves anything below a 4 star rating and that would only apply back when you were first starting out. The improvement in graphics, animation, writing, story telling in addition to the consistency of updates puts this in the top 3 VN's currently being published on this site and I currently have over 30 very good ones on my hard drive. The very few low ratings I saw didn't demonstrate logical evaluation but, unsubstantiated prejudice or preference. Sorry again, for getting complacent and being lazy. Here is your 5 star rating.

Awesome game story is great! made me sad,happy, angry and all the things needed for really enjoying this game didnt skip any conversations. thats rare tbh. renders are nice, models are hot AF. cant wait for the next update!

Rarely have I come across a game that I can find myself so sucked into. Upon finishing it, I had to play it again. Purely because nothing else could hold my attention. Not even going for a ride, could get me a fix. I love the premise of this game. While some people might scream about it being less than original, after the whole SOA phase of society. Let me tell you how wrong that is. This game feels far more authentic to me. It all comes down to the little details. My absolute favorite moment is a little throw away line, about green on a bike. It was at that moment I knew the creator had to be a rider.

One of the best aspects of the game has been watching the steady increase in quality. Watching where we start, with that mullet monstrosity. To where we are now in 8.5. Things are only looking better with the more time goes by.

I for one hope the road home is long and scenic. Looking forward to the ride!

Played 8.0
I played this knowing that it might not suit me, but I get surprised all the time so I never really know. I did enjoy what I guess is the prologue, the beginning, when you can make "good guy" choices. I play these VN's for escape and humor so I like them with less bitter "realz" and more sweet "feelz". You can get all the "people are shitty" you need from rl and tv news, why would you want more of that in your favorite escape? I stopped after the prologue as nothing I was seeing about playing the "must make bad choices" part of the game sounded appealing to me. As such I gave this a 4star rating based on it running smoothly, having good visuals and decent (if a little rough) dialog, and my enjoyment of the time I played.

edit...This is for v1.0 part 1...The renders are decent quality compared to some other titles. Animations arent bad at all. It has a builtin walkthru. Nice range of different women in the harem.The story when not plowing chicks is great When a scene comes up with something questionable you have the option to not watch it happen. Maybe some minor typos but no Engrish. Hell of a fun playthrough

Ok so i have gone over in my head and broken down more or less what i want to say about this game, having put quite a bit of time into it.

First of all I love the models, and the story. There are many many glaring issues with the story but taken in context that it is a porn game, I overlook most of them because i want to escape reality not bring it into porn games.

That said, there are a few critiques that i would like to pass onto the Dev in case he ever does a rework. First is, please make the game more consistent please. in the "prologue" your "good points" gave you a "love" relationship that was filling and rewarding, even if you gained "bad points" by sleeping with extra girls. After 1 particular point in the story (where you must choose one option to advance the story and not get the "perfect good guy" ending and game over), all your relationships "reset" and you are no longer a "boyfriend" but a "sex friend" regardless. The rest of the story you are "sex friends" with Jessy and her mom (the primary LIs)

The part that bothers me is that there is not really consistency in the relationship definitions. They are not "boyfriend/girlfriend" even though other characters call them that all the time and they dont deny it, but when they talk about it they are just like "meh we are good friends that fuck".

This bothers me as i would like to see more development in intimacy, and for one would like the dev to decide if they are, or are not, together. I liked the Jessy that was in love much better than the Jessy that just likes cock.

This game is pretty different from the most I played. I started without high hopes, but honestly it's great. I mean, it clearly is harem genre, but not the one that will hit your face straight. It's more natural, just people being okay with having casual sex and keeping comfortable relationship levels. Nothing seems forced and it was very pleasing to play. The whole 'biker' theme is also refrehing, and the story feels just right. Sure, we have some drama, but nothing feels like it was unnecessarily exaggerated. Character are interesting, but sometimes I found it even unnatural, that every girl there is totally okay with fucking other girls, and they all say only man they need is MC. Well, it's just a game, I won't go searching any deeper meaning in this. Also this mother-daughter kink may gave me new fetish There were some minor graphic bugs and misspelled text, but not so much to affect my overall grade. Definitely recommend!

I wont lie, I really didn't think I was going to like this as I rarely play games with male main characters. The whole biker theme attracted me though as I loved SOA. Now after playing to the end of the latest update, I can honestly say....fuck yeah! I loved it.

The MC is a bit of a badass which is nice. An ex combat vet, he knows how to fuck people up when he has to. His roguish charm and humour makes him fairly likeable.

The main plot takes our MC into a war between 2 rival biker gangs as he joins one of them with his sassy girlfriend Jessy. On their adventures, they both meet lots of strong and sexy women, resulting in an expanding harem.Jessy is always the no.1 girl but she likes to get in on the action too.No doubt this would be every guys wet dream

The women are all pretty hot and far from bimbo types, most are strong characters with unique personalitiies, which is nice.

There is plenty of lewd scenes, some are very sexy indeed. The story is intriguing and captivated me. Renders are very well done as are the animations.

The latest update was a big one with a nice amount of play time which is nice.

Overall, a great VN that feels like a breath of fresh air on here. I really want more of the story and to see the MC a full badged member of his club.

Congrats dev on your very well crafted VN

Loving this game. Loving the characters and the story, loving the comedy.

Minor nit-picking - sometimes the written dialogue just needs to be proof-read for minor grammar and spelling issues

Overall, a fantastic game, and I am eagerly awaiting the next update.

Overall a great and underrated game: the story is interesting and different from the usual, the models are very nice and the release cycle is quite stable!
Recommended if you are interested in games with a strong lead MC, lots of love interests, and stories about biker clubs and motorcycles.

This game is alot of fun, and achieves an impressive good balance between the quality of the models, the engaging story, comedy and sexual content. Seeing a new update pop up brings excitement and anticipation.

A kinetic novel starring a Z movie "badass" . The dialogue/characters/humor/events are poorly written, and the events happen in a rushed manner so there is no character development. In fact these characters are so thin that character might be too strong a descriptor for them.With that said good character models and there is quite a bit of rapid fire erotic scenes.

This game honestly surprised me by a lot! I'm really enjoying the story and the characters.

Good points:
* The personality of the main characters, they are really nice and fit very well into the story.
* The looks, despite not having the best models around, this game does have very pretty characters like Rachael, Jessy, Stacy, Kat and Katy
* MC is smart enough and pretty much badass.
* There are several funny bits and other more emotional parts that do fit into the story perfectly.
* There is an actual story going on, despite not having a crystal clear goal right off the bat the things do pick up and clear objectives start poppin up.

Bad points:
* Lack of sound effects and music, sure good music has some cost, but it is possible to put at some musics and sound effects in without blowing the whole budget. Some scenes would be much better if there was at least some audio track there. I guess people are still sleeping on how effective the audio stuff is on a game.
* Rushed things, some stuff feels kinda rushed, there should be a few days to pass before some characters opened up to the MC (not talking about sex), a few time skips should have done just fine.
* Overall render and animation quality, i understand the struggle to get amazing renders and animations, but if they are not possible at the current stage i feel that it would be better to tone down the amount of them.
* The Respect/Disrespect system feels a bit off sometimes, like is hard to know if a choice is supposed to symbolized risk taking factor or is directly showing the outcome of said choice (like the choice at the bar when they first arrived), while the affection related choices are very straight foward,i would like to have the Respect/Disrespect choices to be more clear if they are supposed to symbolize the risk you are taking or if its directly the outcome of it (again remember the bar choice for Jessy).

Overall i absolutely recommend this game to everyone that is looking for a nice game without shitty grind and with a nice story and enjoyable characters.

In all honesty If I could I would give this game a 4.5 out of 5 stars because they sex scenes are %80 in the same position; but the models look so amazing that I had to round up. This meets 8/10 of my main fetishes which is not an easy thing to do especially when they don't make tags for it.
