VN - Ren'Py - Completed - My New Family [Christmas Special] [Killer7]

To summarize, the game really took off in the beginning , then went bland in the middle and climbed back to the top again.
Pros :
1) Good story..Well implemented and kept simple. Just how i like
2) Scenes well animated..not just a 2 picture loop.
3) The girls seem likeable

That being said, the Cons:
1) Too many unwanted characters.. Which prolong the game
2) Bad camera angles during sex scenes.. Most scenes have the camera behind the players back blocking the girls view.
3) No uniformity in the individual story progression.. For example ,Sandra's story just took off, Lucy's story was stagnating so bad to the point I lost interest.

THE GOOD: has great emotion in its story by the time i got close to the end of the current version i didnt even care much about the sex scenes. It had a very good amount of playtime keeping your interested in playing.

THE MEH: the sex scenes became bland quick (suggest adding opion to switch poses and speed) . the facial features of most of the girls could use some touching up alot of them remind me of the game IMVU.

THE BAD: nothing as of yet

FINAL WORDS: all around good VN made me feel like i was reading a pick your own adventure book and with some more polish and time this game can become something even more amazing

Decided to review, so here I go....

The Good.
- Nice guy MC, always nice to have a nice guy MC. He doesn't do any of the creeper MC stuff, which is a great change considering almost all incest MC's are creepers.
- Several of the girls are very sweet and likable. One of them is a cat-girl, which I think is adorable.
- A lot of content, I haven't replayed in a while but I'd imagine it'd be a few hours at least.
- Nice renders.
- Reliable update times and size. Not many devs manage to have monthly releases with the quantity of content this one does, quite impressive.

The Bad
- I feel like this game fell into the trap a lot of harem games fall into, too many girls and repetitiveness, and I think it advances too quickly. I'll talk about each below.
- Too many girls: The game is called "My New Family" but there are simply too many characters outside of the main cast to really focus on that family as much as they should be (Main cast I consider to be MC's 2 original sisters and mom) and a few of those characters just seem to be rather pointless. These characters often have events which seem to be sort of random, in-between the main-casts stories. It's got a " On to the next one" vibe to it., you do one girls event, and then you go to another girls totally un-related event.
- Repetitiveness: This game is a long game, but you do a lot of the same thing over and over again. Wake up, go to bed, eat breakfast, watch TV etc. A lot of filler events, which is fine, but I'd be nice if it weren't so....predictable?
- Advances too quickly: I think a big part of this is because of issue #1, but this game seems complete already. MC has already built a harem of basically every girl in the game, they all love him and everything is going great. Pretty much all the conflicts are resolved quickly. This is a character driven game, but in order to have that you need good character development, but a combination of conflicts resolving so fast + the number of LI's, character development advances quickly. Some of the girls have longer CD, but a lot of them have little or hardly none.

TLDR: It's a solid romantic harem game, but falls into a lot of the traps of harem games, still enjoyable though. 4 stars.

Really sweet game for a game where you fuck pretty much every woman in town. There are choices but i'm not sure why you would choose not to fuck all the girls. The scenes can be hit or miss but there are some really great ones. This is the feel good porn game, Wrote this review about 2 years ago and since that time a game that had the potential to be arousing and fun has turned into a boring slog with the most painfully unarousing and vanilla sex imaginable. Any attempts to spice up the game, are met with shrill complaints by the game's fans. For a game with no real compelling narrative and a lack of any real tension, the sex and relationships need to be interesting and engaging, they no longer are in this game so i would no longer recommend it, though there are some good scenes here and there if you feel like muddling through.

This game is huge!

There is so much content, the story is very long and well written! The characters (though not all) have personality and are fun. I do love the main girls and I enjoy the interactions and the choices!

If you love incest romance stories, than this is for you! The animations are nice and the buildup is hot!
Just the nice-guy main character is a weakness, for the most time....

Best game ever... i dont know what i will do when story eventually end. Its bring to me so much feels and helping me tough times - im not even kidding! Every girl is unique in some way and story between them and mc is connected. I wish all the best for dev and just want to say thank you for such wonderful game!

10/10

Although the Dev does put out a lot of content, I am sorry this story/game is just Boring.
The Graphic renders are cheap looking and repetitive and so is the story. Many have already commented with the same opinion of course.

The sex scenes are some of the worst i have ever seen, they are so quick and lacking in any quality renders or animations. Animations especially, that is what really makes or breaks a story/game. it's a Put it in and 3 or 4 motion's later BAM all done sex is over, BORING and UNIMAGINATIVE.
The only reason that this story/game does have the rating it has is because of the amount of content that is put out. But that doesn't make it good.

If the Dev put effort into making better renders and animations, and making the writing and story more interesting, it would deserve the rating, but that really isn't the case is it.

It feels more like he is just throwing cheap stuff together and expecting it to come out as higher quality.

I started playing this game when it first was released to the public, and it has a rich and interesting story so far, i find myself keep redoing the story line multiple times because it is that good, Also the character models are really good as well. One thing i would like to note is that i have seen a couple of typo error's but that doesn't bother me seeing has this is still in development, and that is to be expected keep up the great work "Killer7" i am in love with this game <3

I love everything about this game. The characters are all really great, I like the effort being put into the story as it's quite lengthy so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.

I just can't get enough of this game. My New Family has what every AVN game should have. Good story, renders, animations and all characters are so lovable. Updates are fast and the added content great. I see the developer is nice and active too. Redheads are my weakness but here I get to have 3. Damn I feel good

Not really a con for me is that some models have way to big tits for my taste (I like them skinny and redhead ). Anyway, I highly recommend this game to anyone who love AVN. If you really enjoy the game, don't forget to support the developer if you can (I just did).

A small preface first: I'd give this 3,5 stars if I could, but I'd say 3 seems fair and it could easily be a 4 if you're really into the art style, so 3/5 for me means decent fun, but nothing too out of the ordinary.

One think I like about this VN is that it has no major drama, nobody is sick, nobody is dying, nobody that really matters is dead, you just have a nice little, albeit ridiculously convenient story about a man who finds his lost family and the love he always desired. The characters are likeable and unique for the most part, some seem a bit more similar than others, but for me it's still ok. The grandmother is a bit of an oddball and for the most part I'm not really sure what to make of her.

One thing that sadly found its way into this game is repetitiveness, the day almost always starts with the gingers and a shower and it almost always ends with some pillowtalk between Lucy and the MC. I don't mind that in general, but it can become a bit boring even if you like that kind of thing. Another thing that seems a bit much and I can't really believe that I say that in a porn game is sex, it feels like it's basically sex scene after sex scene after sex scene with bit of story in between, mostly because there are just so many characters that the MC is involved with, but you can overdo it a bit, even if you mean well and want to deliver something good.

The last thing I want to mention is that at this point (0.13) it seems to offer a lot of content. The settings for the scenes seem rather simple compared to some other games, but this way you can get more done in a shorter amount of time and this is a good thing in my books.
I haven't read the thread, so maybe I missed a few things, but I think it would improve the game a bit more if the player had an idea of where the game is supposed to go, a few landmarks if you want. For me it feels like I'm just going with the flow, but I have no idea if the game will be done in 2 updates or in 20.

I used to be a big fan of this game. The first 4-5 updates, I was really looking forward to this.
Then my interest (at first very) slowly waned. It began to feel really repetitive and I found myself skipping more and more of the content related to the characters I didn't like so much.

Now that the MC is with all his sisters, his cousin, his mom and aunt, it's just not interesting anymore.

The grandma is a weird character, jumping between the dev trying to make her look sympathetic to being incredibly obnoxious and annoying and the wishy-washy way in which the MC reacts to that is also not exactly endearing.

At first there were also things that kept it interesting like making the bully see light or turning the table on the boss, but then it was like she had lost all will and just became a slave and dominating the boss isn't as much fun as it could be.

I don't want to badmouth the game, if you want sweet, romantic vanilla this game is absolutely perfect, but for me, even with incest it's just become too bland.
I need some conflict, some seduction, I need high stakes and at least the possibility of something really bad happening for the MC to overcome, at least in the long run.
Sadly, all of this is missing in "My New Family."

Again, it isn't a bad game and I don't dislike it, there are many cute and erotic characters in it.
I love all three sisters and the cousin, many others are very likeable as well.
The beginning is absolutely great, but it just fizzles out at some point and the introduction of new characters doesn't make up for that loss of intensity and interest.

If only the arc of suspence would have kept up I would have given it a four or five stars, honestly, up until a few updates ago, it would have been at least a four for me.

My favorite vn so far, I like the characters have their own characteristics and I really like the storyline, I don't know what else to say but this is highly recommended.
keep up good work dev

(sorry for my bad english)

I like the game to a degree but it was probably better off just forcing Sandra on to us.
I tried the route without her and you're pretty much just watching tv or laying down in bed
while the dev tells you that you should've picked Sandra and then cuts off because he said alternate scenes were not worth it.

So I went with Sandra but some choices from other girls require that you also do it with Sandra. I like some of the girls but not all and the fact that I have to be with one to get to others is kind of a grind.

The story is interesting enough to play but I have to give it 2 stars based on the abrupt end non Sandra route and the fact that she is tied too much into other girl's paths. If she is that big to the story it's ok to force her on us so you don't waste so much time on a unfinished alternative route.

Game is decent but could be much better, it's filled with so much useless text that I just started spamming through to the next sex scene by chapter 3. Every day is just MC talking to the girls about how much they love each other. It gets really old after a while. If the dev would cut all the useless dialogue this game would be 5/5 but as it stands it's almost unbearable to try and read through the same shit worded differently over and over. TRIM THE FAT!

Story: 5/5 The best harem route ever made, it actually has a twisted logic to it thats believable. The inter character dialogue is great, story is touching, and will make you stop and appreciate the characters on several occasions.

Art: 3/5 Standard 3D screenshot stuff, but cute models.

Sound: Sorry couldn't tell ya, I play everything on mute like a savage.

Gameplay: To be honest, there isnt any, its 99% kinetic. Only choices you get are "Continue story with this character" or "ignore them", at least on the path I'm on (harem).

This is my favourite game of all time. And I mean out of all games that I have ever played (RPGs, Racing, Action, etc). I am replaying it for the fourth time right now (finally going to go for the full harem).
There are issues that I don't like in it however:
MC appears to be a know it all about life and relationships, but he only had one relationship before and, from his own story, his life experiences are very limited.

But I ignore that because the story itself is amazing. Each character has their own life, backstory and personality. Even though I am playing it for the fourth time now I still get affected by the stories they tell. It definitely is A must play.

A very well written and animated story!

The story follows a young man reuniting with his family which leads to meeting many beautifully designed characters.

Each one has a distinct and unique personality and connecting with each one has a romance path tied to them that is moving and engaging.

It's literally a Harem theme park!

Each animation is wonderfully done and ads depth to each encounter.

Well Done! will enjoy watching this story continue!
