Ren'Py - Completed - MILF's Plaza [Steam_15a] [Texic]

Version 1.0 (d)
Looks like the game's original language is Russian, so that's what I played.
The writing is AWKWARD! It's like written by a school kid. But that gives the game some comedy value.
Visual style is good!
There are still inconsistencies, bugs and grammar errors.
But overall the game is entertaining!

Review of v0.9.5.g

I played this game in survival mode.

Pros:
=> The story
=> Nice 2D graphics.
=> I liked the sex scenes and the female characters.
=> Sometimes you have to think how to do things or how to use an item to unlock some situations/scenes.

Cons:
=> A lot of bugs need to be fixed (typos, many untranslated sentences, dialogue bubbles are not displayed correctly, etc).
=> Three scenes are missing from the gallery (two blowjobs by Kat and the MC masturbating in the bathroom in front of Mary in the shower).

To sum up :
The game is good and has potential BUT IT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AND FIXED by the developer.

Review for MILF's Plaza (Steam_13d version):

This is my third time starting this game from the beginning, but the first time made it through all of the available content without hitting a game-breaking bug. It could be a 4-star game, and it may eventually get there, but it's been an execution nightmare.

Story: 3/5 - It's better than average, but overshadowed by poor writing. I think there's supposed to be a lot of humor, but it gets lost in translation. Still, it's more original than 90% of adult games. However, the title doesn't really go with the game, at all.

Writing: 2/5 - It's barely better than garbage. The opening splash screen of the game reads, "The game currently has some problems with other languages (not English)." The irony is off the charts. There's a ton of broken English and misspellings and poor translation issues, but worse, there is a lot of dialogue and menu items that display in Russian.

Renders: 4/5 - The artwork is very good. It has some consistency issues, but they don't completely break immersion.

Animations: 3/5 - Animations range from jerky 2-frame animations, to something more reasonable for the artwork. I'm not sure if they improved over time or if some scenes just got less attention from the animator.

Audio: 4/5 - Music is better than average. Occasional sound effects are good.

Gameplay: 2/5 - Most of the gameplay is average, but the grind can be insane. I played the last playthrough in "story mode" and I don't think the dev really understands what story mode should mean. This game was designed for grind and the game is grindy as fuck even in story mode. The general problem is that there are only 3 usable time slots per day, combined with using 1 time slot to travel. If the MC goes anywhere outside of the house (except the building next door), it takes 1 time slot to travel there and another time slot to travel back, plus one time slot to do whatever it is that needs to be done outside of the house. The MC really can't do more than one thing per in-game day. The balance of earning and spending money is stupid, too. Small items are insanely expensive (e.g., a chocolate bar for $100). Opportunities to earn money are extremely limited. The MC can find stashes of money around his house and collect around $20 per day. Once the MC has $40, he can "gamble" (the casino is not really gambling, it's a memory minigame) to get more money, but once he has $300, the game doesn't allow gambling and the MC has to sell drugs to earn more. This is a contrived way to ensure that players constantly grind for money and don't just spend a couple weeks of in-game time to get as much money as they'll need in the game.

Bugs: 1/5 - This game has been a nightmare of bugs for me. Twice, I ground away for hours and hit a bug that completely stopped progression and finally gave up. There are several character events that are missing dependencies to the character's storyline, for example, Christy's "Nightmare" and "Night Games" events have dialogue related to her not being ready for vaginal sex, but you can get those events for the very first time after MC has had vaginal sex with her. Also, in the case of Night Games, the last two levels of the event aren't even implemented, but it doesn't even make sense to have them after MC and Christy are having sex. There are dozens of dialogue boxes attributed to the wrong character. The opening Splash screen says "We quickly fix bugs." but many of these issues have been known for over a year.

Other:

• There's a crazy quest dependency where MC needs Igor very early in Christy's storyline, but Igor gets kidnapped as part of Mary's storyline, so if players don't start Christy's storyline earlier, they are locked out of progressing with Christy until they almost completely finish with Mary's storyline.
• The ending scene could easily be the hottest scene in the game. However, it has exactly two renders, no animations, and 160 lines of dialogue to click through. What a let-down.
• The existing content hints that there was a ton of planned content that just never made it into the game for whatever reason. This will always leave players feeling that the game is unfinished.

This game is a buggy mess. Quests don't work properly most of the time and I was unable to finish the current content because I was stuck in a renpy error loop. The grammar is poor but I can forgive that because the dev is clearly not a native speaker. The best thing about this game is the art so I would say if you're interested in this game, just download the gallery unlocker.

honestly its a solid game with a good plot, the characters are pretty well rounded with actual personalities unlike other games where they entirely focus on the perviness. the art style is quite unique and easily different from the rest, some scenes are totally amazing but majority of the content is more on the mother/landlord. overall its a solid game that would recommend specially its almost finish, cant wait for the next project of the dev after this.

It's a little sparse on how often you get new sex scenes, but not as bad as other games. Goes pretty quick, but you can get hung up on a few plot points, also there's this one weird bug involving having to give your mom money, sometimes the option pops up, other times it doesn't.

Scenes are hot, but not enough with the younger girls, it's like 50% the mom. All in all pretty solid experience.

One of the few games I actually regret playing which I rate for 1 stars. The only saving grace is the art. On top of that, its a sandbox, so expect clicking everywhere to navigate which is annoying. The story is complete nonsense as of right now along with dealing with a bad translation. It feels like characters only have 2 personalities including the MC, a unlikeable bitch and horny + stupid. My guess is that the writer doesn't have a story planned out, they just write whatever scene they want.

Just download and look at the gallery is all I recommend.

i really liked texic's artwork before (like in 2017-18, even subbed on Patreon), buuuuuuuuuuuuut after playing THIS ...

there's a lot of boring things in life, like watching flies fuck, or doing some menial work for a long-long time. And then it's this 'milf plaza'

The story is extremely shallow, substandard and boooooooring. Art is nice at best, but the content for 3 (!!!!) years of in-progress game is just scarse. And that tells you something.

Optimization, polishing and bugs fixing are just not something present in this project.

I guess the lewd content is pretty much okay, but honestly, you can find dozens of projects here with both decent story and lewds.

This game has very good 2D art. I also really like this game developer, he communicates very well with his audience, I talked to him a couple of times. I don’t really like the sandbox adult games, but here it’s implemented not so badly, although I did find a couple of bugs. The characters are good too. I recommend Milfs Plaza

Milf's Plaza reminds me a little bit summer time saga.
A nice story quest and several conquest
There is a good balance between the game itself and the adult content. I got carried and had fun playing it

Gameplay: 3/5, easy to get lost and occasionally characters will just disappear and become much harder to find.

Plot: 2/5, I played decently far into the plot but it just kept up with the MC is a POS vibe the whole time. He legit cannot man up and deal with his problems properly. When we get the forced quest to steal from the mother, I knew I wouldn't keep up with this game. At least let us know how much the debt is so we can at least understand the severity. Never knowing the amount just makes me believe it's like $5000.

Art: 5/5, fun, unique and consistent style.

Overall: 3/5, an average experience being brought down by the lack of proper story telling and player choice. You could honestly remove the sandbox aspect and make this a full VN and it genuinely would be a better game with less pointless grind.

Decent art but the game itself appears to have little to no direction. The characters are poorly written (possibly better in the writer's native language but I doubt it improves much that way) and the actual gameplay mechanics are awful. Stuff like clicking around a living room to find cash stashed behind plants and photos and then doing it again the next day to find more gets old quick.

The art is good but not exceptional enough to make it worth playing the game. The artist would probably be better served by working on something else.

Watching paint dry BORING is what this one is. Wow what a stinker of a story/game.

Story - 2/10 The usual MC trying for the females in the family stuff, with very little else ( so far anyways and it has been a LONG time in development).

Renders 3/10 - Basic Anime stuff, the sign of the cheap amateur dev.

Animations - 1/10 Simplistic and extremely short animated sex scenes, with no attempt at any sort of realism. Two second sex with no options for any positions or foreplay.

This one has all the signs of a dairy game, the amount of time in development shows that. Large amount of grind to further getting along, makes this one a one time download then a quick deletion game.

Greetings,
Am not gonna lie, the renders, scenes, and plot are really hot and are just spot-on. The characters are well designed, with some nice curves and busty figures, the only step down which I thought was the lack of animations, am not going to compare but we can check out some animations from the summertime saga.
Now if we talk about NTR stuff, it is rather objective.
Some people provide a lot of effort and support to dev, for creating an NTR path, and I totally agree with it, because the world does not revolve just around you. if some other community is providing effort and their support to add an avoidable NTR path, the other community has no right to object.

I will just appreciate the effort, which Dev is putting into this game.
He can go ahead without any wrong decisions. we can neglect the NTR stuff, if we want to, there is a proper NTR disclaimer choice given.


Plot = 5/5
Genre ( Including NTR ) = 5/5
Artwork = 4/5
Animations = 4/5
Erotism = 5/5
Scenes =4/5
Overall = 4/5

WelI, have tried this game and must say that its mini games system is awesome...
I'm also a huge fan of the incest genre and had a really enjoyable experience. I hope you will spend more time developing the plot further.

For a game that has been in development for almost 3 years, this is a disaster.

The content is very shallow. Art is nice, but the amount of content for 3 years of WIP is just not good.

Then, there's a point in the game where you'll be riddled with Ren'py error messages.

If you want to see the scenes, just unlock the gallery, have a quick fap, but don't bother playing it.

I usually tend to play more anime style games in this site, so this was kind of a new experience for me, and i can say that it was pretty much average. Average gameplay, average visuals, average translation, average everything.

There were some moments that i liked more than the rest, some scenes are pretty hot (mainly the ones with the various milfs), others not so much, and the gameplay consist in the classic sandbox experience of clicking, reading, a few pointless minigames and stuff like that, but all in all the game wasn't that bad. Plus points for (optional) NTR.

Game is not finished, but for now i'd say if you like what you see and don't mind a little bit of mindless grinding you just found something to play tonight.

The entourage of Russian reality is beautifully portrayed. The characters are very appealing and the distribution of task sequences is excellent. The daily tasks (eating, washing) are not annoying. The plot leads to interesting twists and turns. The humor is simple and straightforward. And, of course, the drawing is pleasing to the eye.
Highly recommended for passage.
The project keeps coming out!

[ Review for version – 0.8b ]

TL;DR:

MILF’s Plaza is a story about a criminal youth who balances being on probation, wanting to have sex with his housemates and trying to settle a debt to a gang member. I was drawn to the game because of the extremely cute and tender art, but instead played as a horny teenager who spend almost no time being romantic.

The Good:

The art is fantastic, and there are a few ‘animated’ sex scenes that really pop. I love the MILF in this game, and I’m glad most of the content right now is focused on her. I love how the story convey the development of attraction from the women towards the MC.

The Average:

The game has some moments where you grind and run around to fetch stuff, but they don’t last very long. The hints for progression are for the most part fairly understandable. The non-MILF characters don’t have much content yet, but what is there is very good.

The Bad: The translation work towards the end of the current version is very choppy ranging from broken English to just straight up Cyrillic/Russian. What I said was good about women’s development towards the MC is done poorly in the reverse. I didn’t particularly feel like my MC was romantically interested in the women.



Thorough Review:

Story: Competent

It’s a story of a boy put on probation after a failed jewellery theft. He needs to rebuild his relationship with his family and find a way to repay the debt that prompted the theft in the first place. It’s the story of a ex-con trying to get it all (we don’t even know why he is in debt in the first place). As a premise it’s not very exciting – especially for me who do not like roleplaying criminal.

Characters: Good

The MC grates me because he is very self-centred and primarily only looks out for what he wants. He is not irredeemable, but it can be annoying sometimes. All the love interests are great, and I look forward to them being developed in future updates.

Gameplay: Competent

It’s a Ren’Py game. You click, read, click, read. There are a few mini-games that are so-so, and there is a bit of a sandbox to move around it along with a timeslot system.

Visuals: Great!

Especially the character art. Holy shit this style vibes with me. Especially the MILF. She’s a 10/10 character in terms of design.

Summary: Good

It’s a nice game for what it is. It does get rougher towards the end of the current version because it isn’t translated very well. MILF’s Plaza makes good use of humour and the dialogue is good, but littered with translations that are too literal so they don’t make much sense in English – such as your sister ending a conversation with “don’t miss” which doesn’t make sense as a conversation ender in English.

Wishlist:

> More MILF stuff! She’s the main mascot of the game, and I would not be upset if 80% of love interest content was squarely focused on her.

> More MILF gentle femdom. The MILF has moments where she makes it clear that she is the one who sets the pace in the relationship (even though you can push her along). These scenes are very hot, and I like it when women make it clear that it is actually they who are in charge, even when you are trying to run ahead with you dick.

A great example of what an M/S game should be! The art is unique and very nice. The focus is on the mom, and the other characters ' quests don't have to be pursued. There is some grind in the sandbox mode when it comes to money and some quests, but it is not too much, on the contrary, it is just enough to give the player more satisfaction whenever the story is advanced with the mom. The only real negative point that I can bring up is that it is noticable that the game was translated from Russian and the language feels a bit weird sometimes. But the lewd dialogues are still 100% enjoyable.
