Updated from original review on August 9, 2021, when the game was in "abandoned" status.
It may be that I would have lower expectations if the game hadn't been around so long. The funny thing is that Milfy City was actually a stellar example of what porn games were capable of, just 4 or 5 years ago, but the genre has moved on and other developers have really raised the bar. Playing Milfy City today just isn't as exciting, but I'm glad ICSTOR completed it and hope that maybe he'll go on to something new (allegedly he has another game well along in development).
I gave this game 4 stars in 2021 shortly after it was abandoned. I never imagined it would be completed. Now that it is and I've played through it, it's probably 3 or 3.5 stars. On the plus side, ICSTOR's visuals remain strong, even if the overall look is rather dated now. The character models are unique--never seen them anywhere else--and the girls are hot. Sara, Caroline, and Linda are among the sexiest porn game characters anywhere. The finished game is very similar to the last version from a few years ago, but there is quite a bit of new content, too. Some of that new content is quite good. The resolution to the story with the lesbian aunt and her wife was super hot, I thought, and the scenes with Judy, the psychologist, and Lily, Sara's "best friend," escalate nicely.
Some content from the original game was removed or changed significantly, as well. I assume this was done primarily to make the game acceptable for sale on Steam. For example, the mother-daughter neighbors are now just the neighbor woman who wants nothing to do with the MC. There's one brief scene with her but it's hardly worth it at all. One tone shift was made by replacing all references to "school" with "college," presumably to eliminate any doubt that the MC and Sara, in particular, might be underage. While understandable, the word change appears to have been done literally by using the find-and-replace feature in Microsoft Word, as the word "college" is used even when it sounds really awkward. Like Linda will ask the MC "Are you going to college today?" which no one would ever ask. Another change that made me laugh is that the MC is no longer really trying to blackmail Celia. Instead, she asks him to pretend to blackmail her and make her feel she's being coerced, etc., because she enjoys it. "And you better be convincing," she tells him. The problem is that the entire rest of the blackmail plot continues to play out exactly as it had in the original. MC was so convincing it caused Celia to forget it was all an elaborate game, apparently.
Despite this, the MC is still a psycho cat burglar rapist who fondles women in their sleep, then thinks lovingly of them when they're awake. That and several other aspects of the story are contradictory and ultimately nonsensical. The plot and many characters are clearly meant as parody.
The gameplay is a bit frustrating and should have been updated. Most other devs making these kinds of sandbox titles have built in time savers, like fast travel, while Milfy City really looks like a game from 5 or 6 years ago. My biggest frustration was trying to accumulate in-game money. The MC can work small jobs, but mostly must earn money by playing endless rounds of rock-paper-scissors or a memory-style card flipping minigame. The most challenging version of the memory game earned $50 each win but I found it usually impossible to win in the time allotted. So I could usually only manage $25 per win. When a late game quest required me to cough up $1000 to proceed, I was extremely aggravated.
And the game is buggy. Just one example: there is a new nighttime booty call feature, but the only character I was ever able to call was Caroline. Sara and Linda remained grayed out.
Bottom line, despite everything, the game still has some really hot characters and delivers some very erotic scenes. There is a ton of content here for people picking it up for the first time. Getting to that content will occasionally be annoying, but most players should find the effort worthwhile.
