Ren'Py - Abandoned - NS-Evolution [v0.3.9.2 Hotfix 3] [Peter_Leach]

Enormous potential, terrible mechanics.
Can't improve max libido, dick goes soft all the time.
It feels like there should be something more you can do with the women with all those "domination" and "romance" points, but I haven't found any use for them.

Honestly, you should probably just ditch all the management with gauges and add more content. The milfs are great, animations are good, the camera movements make them great. But you can't really enjoy them because the deck is heavily stacked against you. Character cums too fast, and then can't get hard. Also all the girls have the same preferences. Go slow at first, medium in the middle, hard at the end. Which is fine, but the game makes it sound like they're all unique snowflakes, while the only real difference is whether they'll let you hit it raw or not, or whether they like anal (one does, and anal doesn't work - doesn't raise their pleasure). I had to cheat, because the girls pay next to nothing, and just surviving and keeping the stats from tanking takes money. One fuck gets you like 3/4 days's worth - which you're gonna need to get your libido back anyway. It's kinda stupid.

The only real way to satisfy them is to cheat and pick a position even when the game tells you you're done (AND/or use that one cheat mod in the thread, which eventually bricked my save somehow, and now the character is permanently impotent). And even then once you make them cum 5 or 6 times and they shut it down saying they just can't go on anymore, they will still give you 4 stars. What.

And what's the point of the stars anyway? I didn't get the impression it accomplished anything.

The whole dating aspect also is just trial and error or save-scumming - especially since you need to get laid before the 3rd date for the game's goal/challenge, and there is no information on what kind of behaviour they'd like until you try it. Which is fine, I still enjoyed it to a degree. Idk, the encounters (sex) are hot, getting the girls in your bed is also great, everything else feels like it's HEAVILY hindering the game. Atm it's like you've only got a box of matches or some pocket lint and you're somehow supposed to mcgyver some fuck out of it. And even then once you do, there isn't really any depth or reward to it, the money's measly, and there's no relationship to work towards or increasing degree of depravity or any significant behaviour change.

I don't mean to sound like an asshole. There's something good undearneath all the parts that make it feel like an uphill chore, and it made me bust a fat nut.

I don't really post on this forum (just lurking), nor do I review games. I just felt I needed to with this one.

First of we can start with the bad.
- Grind in this game is really bad. You need to grind a lot of stats to be able to actually progress.
- Some animations in some scenes look a bit weird
- Really no story to speak of

But the good is really good though.
- The models are actually amazing. They look how you would imagine most 40+ year old women would look, unlike in other games where some random mom, who has a son of 18+ years old looks like she's 30... at most. Obviously this is also up for debate, depending on your preferences.
- Animations are actually quite long and not just a "back and forth", slide in, slide out, and have a fair amount of motion and variety.
- You can progress and unlock certain animations and things you can do with time, as not all women want everything all the time. Also, same pose has different animations depending on the level oh horniness of the woman, for a lack of a better word.

So why 5 stars? Surely the grind alone should knock off a star or two. Well, mostly because I think the animations and models are so good that the grind is a mild annoyance. You can see that what matters about this (or most other porn games, probably) is that the sex scenes are really, really well done. The grind can easily be tweaked. Other things can be adjusted. I think that the game is the best where it matters.

EDIT: One other thing. Animations are grainy (or low res), which may seem like it detracts from the experience. To me, at least, this helps in making the game and the women seem much more realistic. Not sure whether that was an intentional call or a "happy accident", but it turned out to be good.

If u are looking for a game with mature female chars that doesnt look like aged supermodels, give this game a try.
But be aware: The oldest lady in this game looks old (and scary in some animations^^)!
Atm 4 "models" between 40-60. Some Chars have a few pounds too much, what is nice, and there are bushes ingame.

The lewd scenes are all animated and long, plus MC have controll what happend.
Theres music and voice in scenes. Ok only the Uuhh, Aaaah, Ooohhh but it is consistent imho.
One downside is that u see its not "High Res" and that in a few anims some bodyparts have a strange behavior.
But nevertheless nice to watch and some animations are real hot.

U cannt do everything with ur partner in a scene because some like it or not.
And when shes into it u must evole it or need to get her know better.
Sometimes they do something that u cant controll because they want something different. (Changed scenes)

The story is atm not really existant.
Its a story bout a man who wants... *no spoiler here*^^
Atm only F-Buddys.

Eating, sleeping, training, make money.
This is a quiet awfull part atm.
U grind ur way through lewd scenes in the story. But if u are not a min/maxer it could be interesting.

"But why give u 5 stars?"
Because it's very entertaining in its way, have extraordinary models, u cant do everything with 'em.

Its an early stage of the game, lets look where this path leads.
The "life simulation" is crap....but with this base it could one heck of a game.

A fear is, that this game gets over the top in it size, because 4 scenes are now over 2 GB in down.

Review as of v0.3.8.2f

It really has an interesting mechanic. It's not your typical power sex fantasy where every girl you fuck easily climax and that's what I like about this. You have to work your way if you want girls to climax. You have libido, energy, stamina, erection, and climax to manage and each sexual position will change their parameters differently.

And this would make a great game but the thing is that this game is rough and unpolished. Aside from the English grammar, the game is set up to be grindy at the very start. You just can't get past the first story arc with that 40 year old MILF without extending your stamina first. You start around at 40 stamina and I find that having at least 80 stamina and high libido is a must to get the first part and even then it is still very hard. The objective is to make her climax in one session to progress through the content is tough. Every cardio workout to increase your stamina only gives you 0.5 so if we do the math that's 80 boring repetition and when it's multiplied with the amount of clicks you have to do then it is much of a grind. It doesn't sit well with me that we are locked out of the content just because of some arbitrary grind.

Interesting gameplay but the grind is not worth it. It's easily cheated but if you have a game that needs modifying then it just speaks for how bad the base game design is. It just befuddles me how a flawed game should have a stellar review when it still has ways to improved and just shows how people will settle for mediocrity. Still, here's to high hopes for the game.

Real masterpiece and one of the best games here so far. Simple story, lot of perfect animations with perfect mechanics, and especially absolutely sexy milfs - the most important is, that they look like a real milfs and not like a plastic dolls. The game has a great potential to be one of the best of its kind. Looking forward for the next updates!

Tem alguns bugs, mas gostei da mecânica do jogo. Os gráficos não são os melhores, mas penso que o importante é conseguir conquistar as mulheres. Um bom “mod” ajudaria porque não é fácil conseguir que todos os parâmetros estejam suficientemente altos. De qualquer forma irei estar atento a novos desenvolvimentos.

Obrigado pela partilha.

It has some bugs, but I liked the game mechanics. The graphics aren't the best, but I think the important thing is to be able to win over women. A good “mod” would help because it's not easy to get all the parameters high enough. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for new developments.
