VN - Ren'Py - Oppai Odyssey [v0.4.3C] [Cryoxxx]

so good. my only regret is playing this before its complete. so much story left.. and not enough sybil scenes hahah. this needs more reviews. its easily in my top 3 next to eternum and once in a a lifetime. I only wish that some scenes were more hardcore but it does seem like most of the VN's arent too hardcore.

Fucking love this game. Let's start with the obvious. The girls are gorgeous, and the cast, diversified. Something lacking in the vast majority of HS2 games (and AVN's in general). The animations are fantastic. No cookie cutter bullshit here. They're inventive, dynamic, and always a ton of fun. The environments are immersive, and the story is engaging. Lore for days if you can peel your eyes off the tits for a minute.
Another thing I love, is the distinct personalities of each character. No one girl feels like another. They each have their own charms, and their own annoyances. It's not only a testament to the creativity, but the skill and care of the dev to create such distinct personalities. That's not even including all of the background and side characters. It's marvelous, is what it is. Not sure what else can be said. Looking forward to more adventures with Cap and the crew.

v0.4.3C - One of the best Sci Fi AVNs available. Great, communicative dev.
This is the closest to a Mass Effect AVN we can get. Likeable LIs together with an interesting overarching plot.

The renders are very good and it has some of the smoothest animations of any game i've tried, couple with very well done lewds.

If I had to mention something negative, it's the most common complaint you see in other reviews: The MC is a bit inconsistent and often kind of a douche, especially to one of the main LIs.

You can also kinda tell that Nyx (big titted, green haired, powerfull space elf) is the dev's favourite. Not that I mind, since she's the best LI in the game (and any VN I played, really) and has two separate routes. Honestly, if Cryo decided to make a game with just Nyx as a LI, I'd throw even more money at him.

Anyway, go try it out, it's more than worth it. We'll bang, ok?

An excellent VN game that elevated itself from other poor, underdeveloped R18 3dcg games. It has a diverse set of characters designed beautifully that don't look like some same-face failed plastic surgery, along with charming personalities and elaborate relationships. The background scenes are numerous and nicely created so that it doesn't look like the same wasteland or desert with a few trees here and there. Lastly, the game's topped with a captivating story with finely rendered animated scenes and constantly updated, just makes you want to read more. Honestly just what I want from a VN.

v0.4.3C

I like the render quality, dialogue and everything is amazing. And the designs on the females are *chef kiss*

The only real issue i have is the protagonist, his personality is too bipolar, I choose mostly dominant/badass dialogue options yet at some points the MC acts as if i've only been doing Good guy options..... i'll clarify in a spoiler below.

No good game for 2min fast fappers. But one of the best Ren'Py games ever - with lots of really great storytelling. You will find enough content for a whole blockbuster movie there, lots of revealing plots and sidestories - in a unique sci-fi universe. You will find lots of of hot scenes - and especially a real great depiction of a wonderful femdom and TPE/FLR story and such - without stupid brutality, without stupid exploitation. But with a demanding, but taotally caring domme - if you choose to walk that path ingame.

Can be a bit repetitive at some times (especially in sandbox mode) but this game does have so many potentials, real great work.
And it is really worth every Cent of Support.

Let me you tell ya', okay? I'm not usually one for 3DCG, but this actually pretty well made, including the models, textures, and animations

The story has a few plot holes and could be a bit more serious at times, but I think it's generally serviceable. A few things get to me like supposedly having the tech for FTL but not basic security or AI, or these people have studied three years just for this mission but fail to do simple things like sticking together while in unknown or hostile territory

Nyx is hands down bestgirl and if you like gentle femdom, you'll love her, and I totally simp for her. She really carries the cast, imo, and I can't really recall many characters like her in any other hgames, which is a real shame. Also I'm not giving this 5/5 just because Mommy Nyx wants me to and any rumors to the contrary are false and slanderous as I am an unbiased and unmanipulatable reviewer

It started out great with having choices and being able to pick who you want to have a relationship/sex with but then the idiotic plots stars where your on a spaceship and a doc created a gas that should help the crew being away from earth and it happens to have a side effect to increse lust in people....
Its seen multiple times before in AVNs and its just a idotic excuse to force LIs on the player and i dont like it.

When you keep turning down LIs because you got absolutly no interrest in her and then it ends out with you fucking everyone anyway game just becomes a pure fuckfest/porn game, no romance no relationship build-up which it claims on page one about the game, there simply isent any when you fuck everyone left and right without building any kind of friendship or relationship.

It even has a system for affection points and lust points, but fuck me if i know why its there when it does absolutly nothing, having 0 points will still result in MC fucking who ever.

What makes it even more weird is that after being forced to fuck some of the most ugly LIs you get options again to controle your lust which dosent make any kind of sense when you couldent controle anything before, story feels like a mess, and when you have a favorit you cant even stay faithfull since its will be a forced harem.

Game is also mostly focusing on a single fetish, big and huge tits which is something that is the biggest turn-off to me and i simply dont want to see them at all, so when your forced to fuck a huge tittet bimbo i lost all interrest in the game, even more so since i constantly turned her down from day 1.

Virgins scenes are points and shitty, no pain no blood no nothing its just pure pleasure just like any other normal sex scene, not sure why they put a virgin tag in there.

I picked sandbox gameplay since it promissed the most choices in the game, but yeah it just dosent deliver on that.

Girls look pretty decent alot uses the same face with diffent hair and such so they dont really feel unique.

Animations are about average.

Music is averge just the standard background stuff nothing special.

When a game fails to deliver what they promiss and claim the game to be i cant justify giving it a high rating, and this fails in to many ways like no romance no friendship build up no relationship build just stright to fucking its pointless, broken relationship system that does nothing.
How and Why this game has gotten such a high rating i dont understand.

This game feels like the perfect game for this genre.

Even without the erotic scenes the game has a story that makes you want to keep playing, the pacing of the game is excellent.
The different characters are unique, have some personality and offer everything you could dream ofin a sci-fi space fantasy world, there also is a variety of fetishes and some choices that matter which is appreciated.
The sandbox has a perfect hint system, so it is fun and there is no grinding, one of the few cases where the sandbox environment really enhance the gameplay experience.

There is lots of content, I recommend trying this one!

The story is great and very rich it covers space exploration and fantasy, furthermore it unravels with satisfying pacing -- nothing feels dragged out. The characters are all quite unique and realistic, because they all offer their own flavour and are well built. The sex scenes are really detailed, hot and recently have all been very well made both written and animated. Overall a very good experience playing and definitely worth your time spending time to follow the story.

Game met above expectations. If you enjoyed Projekt Passion, then this would be an easy recommend.

I played the game in VN mode, and the game at times felt disjointed at times early on in the game. Then the game's writing improves significantly as the game goes on. The pacing and plot melds well together. Characters are well-written and models for scenes are great.

OO, is one of the best Adult games I had played so far. What I love about this game is the story, you're a captain of a spaceship, you travel through space, discover and explore planets. Then you...
Oh,I spoiled the game too much. Just download the game and play it. You'll see. You'll love it as well, that's my prediction. Enjoy the game. Cheer.

Awesome game 10/10, a starred rating
- An amazing story that's well told complete with humor drama and tragedy
- Outstanding character models complete with great outfits and clothing
- Characters have lots of personality as well are unique and well written
- Good animations and great sex scenes

Overall an amazing game, very worth while playthrough. Space games are the best and this is the best in the genre, Sybil is the best girl.

Short Review

The game is very inconsistent. The dev is just writing w/e comes to mind and chases trends. I fully expect the dev to put in sharing, futa, and furry in a future update at this rate. The MC went from a badass to a asshole as the game goes on. The game is a sandbox but there is no stat or money grinding which is a plus. Unfortunately, you will have to tap skip time a lot just to get progress the story.

The sex scenes themselves are great but its not enough to carry the game. I wouldn't bother getting invested into the story and I'd probably just check out the gallery. You won't be missing much.

A very well written story with lovable characters. I got invested really fast and got attached to all characters. However as stated in a previous review, some characters feel more biased than others. So far it hasn't hindered any gameplay or choice for me but too much of this might lead to reduced feeling of control in the future. Therefore, the Developer should consider minimalizing this bias. Nevertheless, I'm planning on supporting this game when i get the chance becauseso far it has been such an unique experience.

Ok time to wake the dev up a bit.

I had a beef with the last update, and I have a bigger one this time around. I have and and will most likely be a huge supporter of this game, simply because until now i have loved the story and direction (I am a sucker for sci-fi).

That being said, I do NOT like the way the dev is writing going forward. We just concluded the "Cluster" arc, and to be honest it was terrible. The way that the dev writes the MC's feelings for Dragon Queen are clearly way more biased than his feelings for the other girls, and most recently, Lym.

I am not going to spoil here aside to say that the way he has treated Lym in the last two updates is appalling at best. They were meant to go to space as partners in everything, and they already became intimate lovers. So ... why? What a dick. How Noel is not only fine with him fucking her "servants" in front of her, but even giving him a "brofist" at the same time? Not in her character. She is shy, timid, and supposedly inexperienced in matters of intimacy, yet she "wants to have fun" with her servants without any reservations? Character changes give me whiplash recently.

So all in all dropping it two stars. Keep your characters consistent, write a better story, and if you even start with the NTR crap that was hinted at between Lym and that creepy commander guy ... Im out.

TL;DR Above average models, but with a story that is clearly winging it.
I really like the models especially considering many games have sub-par art and want to leave it at that. However, it's kind of obvious that there two possibilities either there was no game plan or outline, or the outline for the story had many things amended to it that it's no longer an outline. Too many times the story find character motivations suddenly change for no reason no transition other than probably the "plot". A good example of this is the MC & Lym even if you choose to say you're going to be "partners" rather than follow a strict chain of command you get the MC deciding to lie and hide things from her to her for bogus reasons "like protecting her". Now I could give more examples here, but we'd be getting into spoilers so I'll stop and say it's MEH.

Game was decent, the story is alright and you don't have to skip everything.
Sandbox mode works in half of the cases, until a vn part of story kicks in and then it recharges.
Scenes are alright, charactes don't feel like clones of each other and have variety of personalities.

This game is just wildly inconsistent and maybe the dev themselves have no idea where to head for the direction of this game.

Renders - above average with recent updates being slightly better than earlier version. Some female models are nicely built some are kind of off. Many custom space theme assets and aliens and even alien LI (dragons and furry) which may not be everyone's cup of tea. Sex scenes are fine, some dom scenes with the witch are extremely hot. Animations are barebone but serves their purposes, and there are plenty of them.

Gameplay - this is where I think the game shoot itself in the foot. Earlier versions of the game are strictly sandbox and you need to navigate around the ship, interact with each girls to progress the storyline. Which was fine, because it wasn't anything grindy and you always get rewarded with nice scenes and dialogues with each girl. However the recent update scarp this feature altogether and becomes a full episodic vn mode with 0 sandbox element. Maybe this is just temporary and purely plot related since they got off the ship, but this change in game pacing is kind of frustrating to say the least.

Writing - I have no idea what is the story trying to tell. Characters are inconsistent and often will break personalities to fit the flow of the storyline; expositions and explanatory dialogues severely flood the scripts which significantly reduce one's interest in keeping up with the story. Often I just find myself skipping dialogue so I don't fall asleep reading the chunky paragraphs. Again if the fragmented story telling from the earlier sandbox mode is kept intact then maybe the plot will be clearer. There I can choose whoever I wish to interact with, follow their story until I cannot progress further, then switch to another person. But the recent updates are just one big episode of people talking to each other trying to explain their thoughts and expose the plot to the audience, instead of act out naturally to tell an actually interesting story, like every good vn should do. Really really subpar writing.

Overall, just grab yourself the gallery unlocker and go for the sex scenes because the core gameplay and story isn't anything worthwhile - especially when they are costing you multiple hours to slog through.

The description should really be "...as you traverse the mysteries of the universe and the nefarious plots of the USF, and fuck absolutely everything." That would create more accurate expectations of the game's sexual decisions.
Before the creepy scene in Noel's manor, I'd probably be giving this 3 stars. I'll probably continue this game in the future; it's not irredeemable, but I have to knock off a couple stars for ethical reasons. The biggest is the lack of consistent consent. The worst is the scene with Nyx and the prisoner - that's just straight up sexual assault. The scenes in Noel's manor aren't much better. It seems like the servants are just sex slaves, which makes everything that happens extremely unethical; slaves cannot give consent. Maybe they're free people forced into servitude due to their poverty, but then, as their employer, Noel still can't be making sexual requests of them. I can't think of a way that anything in those scenes is ethical. (Don't think you can avoid the problem by silently invoking "alien culture." If they have different standards of consent, that needs to be actively mentioned.) A few of the sex scenes with the main girls should have clearer consent too.
The other big problem is the breast size. Nearly all the boobs range from "very large" to "ridiculously large", and I prefer a slightly more natural range. That wouldn't be a problem if it was recognized as unrealistic. Instead, the writing gives the impression that DD breasts are the norm, not the sexy exception; what the fuck is Lym doing feeling insecure about her breast size? And don't call Sybil's breasts "tiny" when they're at most a little below average. When you perpetuate the idea that only enourmous breasts are normal, you're doing everyone a disservice. It matters; why do you think that like 80% of female pornstars end up getting boobjobs? Because they've been given a distorted idea of "normal".
With ethics out of the way, here's the rest of my review. Do note that I really struggle to write positive stuff, but this game does have positives. Without the previous complaints, I'd be giving this game 3 or even 4 stars:
the good: the writing is mostly decent, the girls have actual personalities, and the overall plot is interesting enough. The sex scene animation is decent, and I like that it's in first person.
The bad (because I'm much better at complaining than praising):
Some of the sex scene writing is poor. Don't use euphemisms like "love-cave", it's weird and not nearly as sexy as more direct words.
Also, why is there no actual scene when "the shuttle to gregoria prime quickly transforms into a hot, steamy, flying fuckpod"? That's unprofessional.
There should be more options to not have sex. Not everyone wants to seduce everyone around them while secretly plotting to incorporate them into a harem. With Noel and Dr. Clermont, it seems like it's just sex at first, so that's ok. But with Lym and Sybil, the MC acts like he's starting a relationship with them while they're naked, and then just ignores it all the next day. I'm not opposed to harems, but I feel like the MC is making false promises and therefore being an asshole.
The almost complete lack of choice is a problem. Some stories can be told without choices, but given all the strange stuff and complex relationships in this one, I think it really needs choice. I don't just mean sexual choice, but also more choice in things like whether you tell Lym that her sister is doing secret important stuff, and that she told you not to trust the Admiral.
The gallery is incomplete. I feel like it's missing scenes, and one with Dr. Clermont is repeated twice
Let us skip wierd giant scaly dick alien sex scene. That is sooooo not my fetish, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
You don't need to describe every woman as "beautiful". Just let us look and decide.
Dr. Clermont should have left the basic vitals unaltered. They're going to notice if heartrate doesn't correlate to missions. And Dr. Clermont's rationale for deactivating the tracker should be a little better explained. The way she says it, it doesn't make her seem trustworthy at all. She could say something like "They aren't just to monitor your health, they're to determine how to hurt you. I took an oath to do no harm, and it's clear that that's what these trackers are for."
If you're going to use magical interspecies stuff where aliens can get impregnated by humans, don't invoke science/reality by talking about DNA. Not ever. Keep it just space magic.
Similarly, The drone description of the protectorate is, at best, silly. Don't get into the details of technology if it's just space magic.
