Ren'Py - My Cute Roommate 2 [v15.06150 Extra] [Astaros3D]

The fighting mechanics (and all the other "minigames" for that matter) are just terrible, which seems to disappear later on in the game..?
The dragged out "sandbox" gameplay is overall not enjoyable and is at times very unintuitive, I personally don't like the fact you are not able to skip through animations and some texts quickly early on, although this gets much better as game progresses and will hopefully be improved further down the line
The more recent animations are stellar (early ones are.. not that great), most of the characters look amazing. The muscular chicks were done dirty, those can be improved by a lot. I don't mind sh*tas usually, this one however was a bit over the top - even for me
Not a whole lot of content all things considered because the gameplay is mostly just clicking all over, which is main reason why I would not recommend jumping into this game now (if it was a VN, content would've lasted maybe 30-45 minutes)

TLDR: Hopefully the dev improves the gameplay down the line, it's the real killer for me personally

Review for My Cute Roommate 2 v1.1.05280:

Summary: Yet another release with broken saves and game-breaking bugs. My recommendation is that players should avoid playing this game until it gets a [completed] tag. Playing updates to this game is never a fun experience. Don't say you weren't warned.

Pros:

• Good renders
• Good animations
• Excellent models
• Better-than-average sandbox
• A few lewd scenes are very erotic

Cons:

• No scene replay functionality.
• Amount of content is really low for a game that's been in development for 3 years.
• Over half of all major updates are so buggy that they're unplayable until a bugfix patch is released, and once a bugfix is released, players have to either replay the entire update or replay the entire game from the beginning.
• Gameplay can be frustrating because sometimes there's no logic for the way things work, and that is compounded by the constant bugs that break the game's intended functionality.

Pure crap.

The story is dumb and the game is unplayable.

There is a hint to help you progress but the hint tells you to do something you can't do and you quickly find yourself blocked in the game.

Do yourself a favor and don't play this game

This is a decent offering that can "get the job done" but it has some design flaws which make it less than ideal and enough bugs to seriously hamper user enjoyment.

MC is another Max with a stupid dick. It's not stupid because it's comically large but because has proportions like a scaled-up pencil. If I must play as someone with an 18" cock that's been mutated into existence then give me a proper monster.

The females models have bimbo bodies and attractive faces. That works for me. There are some unflattering morphs and deformations here and there but overall I am pleased with their presentation.

The story is simple and I like that it doesn't waste my time with a bunch of boring writing and while I appreciate that the sexual encounters come easily, I feel that it could benefit from some repeatables or at least a replay gallery to fill the gaps while grinding for story progression.

There are a ton of animations which is nice but the game is scripted in a way that makes skipping ahead sort of clunky. The game also lacks the ability to rollback in many (though not all) instances. This leads to excessive save-scumming and detracts from my enjoyment. The game various mechanics are OK but don't add to the enjoyment, for me. The dev has thoughtfully included the ability to cheat/skip some of the minigames and I appreciate that.

The UI leaves a lot to be desired. It can be unclear what you are supposed to do and even though there is a task tracker and hints, I often found myself just kind of bumbling around until something happened because many of the tasks are prerequisites for other tasks without their dependencies being shown. Map navigation isn't the greatest but it's not terrible either. Generally, it's easy to figure out where to go for encounters and progression.

Lastly, the bugs. I started fresh with v1.0 Extra and the bugs range from small things like missing media errors to translation/localization issues, tasks not being completed properly (possible soft-lock) and outright crashing to desktop.

I give MCR2 a 3/5 because all the building blocks are there for a good time but it needs a lot of work.

There is way too many bug, tatya stuck on the same scene again & again with photoshoot can't progress.
Ring maid can't progress, tittygram completely empty.
This is why i hate all those game with roaming & not in a VN type, some are really great but most of the time, way too often, they just full of issue if you don't follow a precise order & snoop around.
Why make a open game if snooping around make it broken. . .
Managed to get most of the bug out of the way doing quest one by one in the order they get themself at best but damn its so tedious

Story: is spin off previous npc character, sting by bee mc dick 10X but mc brain is minus 100x and mc story is pathway to lame... and some how female got breast cancer..

Model: pamela anderson clone...

sound/music: is okay..

recommendation" game is not game you playing mc destine lost fight.. boring DICK try hard to be funny..

Before I go to the juicy part of this “game”, since it's a continuation form the previous one, I should warn your ass. First of: You DON'T play the same MC but the other dude who cucked you in the previous setting. However you also still get another NTR scenes with OTHER dudes im not kidding. Missing tag you ask ? Beats me. Last time I checked it was still there.

Anyway. If you had the misfortune to play the previous one you would see the similar characteristics of this game here too as nothing improved. Same dump plot, same dumb characters but with even more absurd scenarios. If I didn't know it better I would say some of them are only in the game because some of the patrons demanded them into the game.
Same old boring grind with the annoying sandbox. But once again the Models are the only selling point here.

Recommend ? Hell nah! Download this only with the gallery unlocker and be done with it. You will thank me for saving you time.

I need to write a review because I LOVE the first game and Girl House is good (besides of the ending) so as of version: 0.9 Extra:

I'll start with the good stuff that is the models of the girls and the animations, that's it, that's the only thing the game gets right.

The bad stuff: nonexistent story, a MONSTROUS DICK because of a bee sting (this cock is even worse than the one in Dreams of Desire), every girl wants to fuck the MC right after they see even a slightest hint of his dick, there's no foreplay nothing.

Basically the game itself sucks, I don't know how the creator managed to make a worse game than the first one but here we are, if this was 1/2 of the first game it would be acceptable but this sucks

My rating for My Cute Roommate 2

For me this game is really awful. It has no interesting story and the MC is a little pervert who wants to fuck every hot girl with his monster cock. And why does he have a monster penis? Because he was masturbating in front of the pc and a huge wasp stung him in his penis. Also, there are some fatal errors in this game. The translations are also not well translated. And the most annoying thing is that my monster cock talks to and wants to fuck everything that has an ass or breasts. And i think the MC is boring and uninteresting. The rendering looks good and the women and girls look good too.

I do not recommend it.

The game has beautiful visuals, that’s all. No interesting gameplay, no interesting plot, the characters are primitive. But all these shortcomings are trivial, the main drawback-is bugs, the game is teeming with bugs! It’s impossible to play normally and enjoy the gameplay, it’s practically unplayable.

if you dont answer the intro right it locks you out of the game. you are blocked from doing anything until you clear the cache and fresh start. its ignorant and if you even paid moneyu it still blocks you no matter what. the stupid thing talking through the whole game is plenty bad enough

Bugs, slow and bad translation.

Sorry to said, this game sucks. So many bugs who crashes the game for no reason.

Tried to play for one hour: Terrible.

Game loads slow.

The translation is not good or not there.

Great Game...one of the elite ones here! some silly issues with grammar and english but largely great, wish the grind was a little more rewarding with slightly more diverse animations but it's a great game nevertheless, hope for more from this publisher

No wonder the game got such low ratings. Tbh, I would give 3 or 4 stars only for renders but beside all bugs, that annoying, unending patreon intro of a talking dick nothing but triggers you at the very beginning.



A free advice: If you wanna write an easy going, poor sex story, make it the MC got a giant dick accidentaly. Plus, if you make almost all female characters sex addict, you won't think about events. Just MC's dick be accidentally exposed in most sensual moments. It's done.



A well deserved lonely star.

Pro
Models looking good
Animations are ok

Negative
Bugs .. many many bugs
Minigames with no other purpose than stretch the playtime
The "Dick" commentator
Updates have barely more than 10 minutes of content

This game was deserving of its 2,5 stars until now where you get interrogated with questions before the game starts. It's all about getting support on Patreon. If you chose that you can't support or don't want to support, the game closes.
When you open the game again you have to apologize before getting the same choices. I assume by promising to support the game you can play the game. I'd rather delete it.

Another trash game from Astaros3D.
Only good thing is some female models.
The dev looks like didn't learn anything from his finished games.
This game is the worst game from him.
Here's advice, don't waste your time with this trash.

I was really hoping this game would improve. The models are good but the rest is not good. The MC acts like a young boy that acts like he is in a different reality. The 'is she my GF' troupe got hold after the 1st time. It is also very buggy with some bad minigames.

I was hoping this would improve things instead of making it worse.

Considering this is the ? 3rd? vn this author has put out, I was expecting better.
Slow transitions, poor graphics, and a really bad story line.

The MC runs around and if someone has sex w him, he then starts asking if they are his girlfriend now.... More or less like in elementary school if a boy talks to a girl or passes a note...then asks if she is now his gf... At the same time he is approached by the cia to take out a terrorist....
The game also suffers from crashes, but maybe they will get it fixed...who knows.

Yeah, trying to guilt trip and bully people into giving you money when they open the game, real fucking classy move.

What manner of sad fucking narcissist made this. Feels like I was messaged by Elliot Rodger. Get fucked.
