Sooo, because I dont like the rules for reviews here, just some points I want to tell: (cons first, pros next)
- Grind, some more grind and even more grind. Could be worse, but could be a faaaar better experience if there were less of it.
- Fly level.... just wow, fail once at Level 100 and earn reset to 0, forcing you to raise it back manually to at least 20 for some scenes. Absolutely unneccessary, should be changed to 0/1 maybe - worst thing with actual settings: You need to raise the Fly´s level to check some key scenerie. Not using the fly will stop you from progressing, in earlier chapter at least.
- Several "hidden" events that can be skipped but should not be skippable, because you need to make progress here, e.g. Drinks, Breakfast (ch 7/8)
So much for the bad things, if anything mentioned above is a "no go" for you, dont play the game. To the good things:
- Really nice looking renders with several beatiful girls, at least Julia is a true hottie!
- The quality of the renders is rising from chapter to chapter, starting on a good level and getting better!
- Since ch3 a useful galery with hints where to find some missing content and stuff.
- Sandbox with repeatable content that grows with player's progress. ** Dev may place a mouseover-popup to the map's areas that shows if there is any new content in that specific area or not (unseen content)
At least with the newest chapter (8) the game gets a kind of goal to reach. I do not like spoilers so feel free to find out by yourself!
p.s.: There is a "cheat mod" that may help out a little, decreases the amount of grind when used properly. In my oppinion you do not need it when using the inbuild "decrease grind"-function in game settings (upper left corner on map).
I reported many of the 1 Star, hate ratings, where people abuse the rating system for personal attacks on the developer or claim, since my mod for the game don't work, the game must be misfunctioned. I mean c`mon this rating system has basically no legitimation or meaning besides sharing your right of "freedom of speech". And if you ask the support you get the answer: "op pinons are free, even if they contradict your own" what a farce.
Just tell me if you don't care, some of us STILL care about some of the games.
Anyway. Like others said, here we see some work put into it. I like the pro and cons. It shows you don't only see black OR white.
I wanted to add, that personally I like the fly system a lot, it is basically the only "skill related" mini-game in the game.
Pro Tipp: the last picture pauses 1-2 sec longer than the other pictures, so basically if you see a picture stop longer than all others, that's the moment you click.
So it is not like you have to fail. I wish you could not roll back with your mouse. I prefer harder games, with consequences.
I would love to see death ends as well. Everyone seams to hate em, seams not everyone is up for a challenge.
Regarding the mouseover popup, that sounds not so bad, but for me this is part of the puzzle game.
I don’t play this game for its nudity only, no RfR was a challenge and the reward for figuring the next step out was really satisfying for me.
I mean the game was at the start way, way, way harder, so you could say it was intended as a challenge.
Now it`s basically so easy that you can finish a new version in 20min. I don't know how people can still complain, is really beyond me...
But well, people finished some other X Games by "STRG" + clicking right through it.
And wonder now why this game feels different, must be something like that.
Really a shame that some games, try to be actually being a game and not only some flash scenes.
