Unity - Completed - Paradise Lust [v1.1.5c] [Flexible Media]

So, I am not a good rating person. I am just not excellent at it. I am giving the game 5 Stars so it moves up to around 4.5-4.7 Because that's how good it is in my opinion. It isn't a straight 5 it has minor flaws, but a lot of good things that outweigh the minor bad things.
1 The characters are pretty much all different and have different traits and likes. I found Tamara/Olga to be a bit under-written, if you will. She didn't have as much felt back round and interaction as the others. But a side from that the game is really fun and the Chars grow on you.
2. the renders are a mix of cute Type characters to Beautiful in the xxx scenes. The Animations are decent so not mind blowing but fun to watch and a lot of verity depending on the girl and type of her likes.
3 Story the story is decent and isn't the most bland. The game also doesn't take itself to serious, and makes jokes about itself.
4. You could even say there are a few side punches at the Elites and politics in the game, and doing so kind of to both the left and right side. Like the MC criticizing stupid aspects of Capitalism, and being lectured on the good aspects of it by a second Side Character. So this game has more then you would think.

Overall I spent around 30-35 hours and i was always hooked and always thought ... just another 30mins.. So give it a try I hope you like it as much as i did.

Game is woefully in love with pointless fetch quests with miles of banal dialogue to fill the space between sex scenes. The writing is plentiful and completely devoid of charm. Characters will just vomit out factoids about radio technology or gaming culture on and on. Even holding Ctrl to skip the whole time I played took forever to get through this fuckin tome. And then why am I playing it in the first place? I cant relate to the characters if Im not reading the story, and I cant read the story without getting bored.

The women are beautiful but also kinda too similar to each other. The sex is vanilla and the animations used are a little too unpolished to make up for the shortcomings in all the other areas. If it was sexier, or better written, or had some kind of interesting gameplay hook then these problems would not be so glaring but here we are. There are much better games worth your time.

If you like this style of game (visually) - I think this is 5 of 5 easy - Lovely scenes and evolving story. So happy for a Follow up Part 2 as this has room for so much more. Enjoing the approch vs. all the Renpy VN games (as much as there are some good ones there too) This reminded me of all Larry Leisure Suit games.

Story 1/5
I couldent really get hooked on the story, MC is out sailing, storm happens, boats end up on a island, then you find a few girls where the first 2 are lesbians/BI and you find them playing with one another, then they send MC out to find some shit while they stay behind to have some sex, yep great game so far right?.... so thats 2 girls i couldent care less about out of the starting 3.... i dont care much for lesbian stuff unless MC is taking part then its fine, but other then that it feels more like the start of a NTR game then anything else when LIs are having a sexual relationship behind MCs back.

What feels even more idiotic is when one of the two girls tells MC she isent gay and MC now starts talking her into being gay? what? and this keeps on going to force a 3-some on you at some point which you might not want, i cant really stand the 3rd person talking from one of them but forced to be with her as well....

To make matters worse MC is pretty much just a submissive servant that does whatever hes told, even when Karen and yes shes a Karen and the dude comes up with the idea of them running the place making everyone else work for them including MC to earn chips as currency MC just accepts it.... like the submissive good boy MC is....so the dude and Karen does 0 work but holds all the power? why? its idiotic and i just hate brainless MCs, like who wouldent want a true Karen as a boss? ....just no....but MC thinks "maybe Karen isent so bad...."

You can probely see where its leading, kinetic story where MC has to fuck everyone including those you hate or just dont like, its pointless and boring and extremly idiotic since you have a relationship system but it means fuck all since your forced to gain points to progress storylines and fuck em all, its just not my thing and why even have a system if its pointless and cant keep scores low, its 0 freedom, all forced LIs, mindless fuckfest game.
And if your wondering then yes the idiotic quests are linked so you cant skip a girl that way either, might as well slap a kinetic tag on to warn people.

When game wanted me to get closer to the bitch Karen thats when i stopped playing, so yeah i dident make it far into the game really, i hate forced LIs it ruins the hole game when you have to be nice to one you hate.

Girls 2/5
They are mostly not my type at all, theres a few nice ones but when everyone is forced it just ruins any fun getting to there with the few you like.

Animations 2/5
They just arent that good, some times MCs dick is to big for the girl so it looks like half hes dick is in her other half out just looks weird.

Music 3/5
Standard background stuff, nothing special.

Choices 0/5
There arent any, fuck all girls like it or not, pointless and boring, game would have been a million times better i you could say no.

Sandbox 1/5
Its mostly just running around map, theres no real feeling of freedom since if you try something that arent the thing your supposed to do for a quest, MC just says "i can do that later" which gets a bit annoing that you cant even explore anyting or do anything outside questlines.
The worst part is the quests are linked so you cant progress untill you finished with what game wants you to, so in other words pure kinetic and to force LIs on you.
Mini games are boring and you just sit and wait untill the timer fills up to skip them, just a waste of time and shouldent have a timer to skip its stupid.

One of my favorites of all time. The girls are gorgeous and hot. Game is complete with a sequel currently in development.

Gameplay can be a bit grindy and repetitive though.

It's definitely worth a try. Hoping the sequel will be just as good if not better.

Very solid game. Well written. Well paced.

For a game with a sandbox style format, it has minimal grinding and much of what you grind is interesting (the fishing and bar tending minigames for money grinding are pretty fun, and the chat grinding for relationship points is a cool version of that concept, with lots of different questions to ask the girls).

Hot scenes are pretty hot and pretty well written. The overall story is solidly developed. The anti-capitalist rants get a little boring, but whatever. The girls had well developed and differentiated personalities. The cultural details of the different girls were really well done.

Lots of good content. Well executed. Definitely worth my time to play.

Paradise Lust is a game where you play as everyone's favourite errand boy on tropical island filled with beautiful ladies.

Seriously, you're doing everything in this game: build houses, bridges and gardens, dismantle electronics, fix some stuff, pick up flowers, catch fish and many other things. Many, many fetch quests and a lot of grind. This is not really interesting. What's worse, the rewards were getting for all this work are not satisfying. There are 13 girls in the game, but only 55 sex scenes. That's just not enough. One of the girls didn't even had any new scene past 50 relationship until recent update. There are far more just basic pictures with girls we're getting on our phone than actual sex scenes with them. Only 3 threesomes scenes. Whats funny here is that there are two girls which are pretty close with each other, they even explicitly say in the dialogue they're a "package deal" but guess what? No scene with two of them together. The cast is solid, but ultimately many girls feel pretty generic like: typical italian lady, typical mexican lady, typical irish lady or asian gamer girl. Game ends pretty abruptly (after very boring line of fetch quests) and we dont get any nice end scene or anything. We have 13 girls, they know about each other and are fine with sharing, yet we don't get any harem scene at all. With this many girls there should be crazy amount of group scenes and big harem scenes. It feels like at some point developer come up with a brilliant idea: to make a sequel instead of adding more sexy content here. And thanks to that, we're doing all this work and get very little in return. Game is too long with its "story", grind and fetch quests and at the end it just gets boring.

The art style is pretty nice, both characters and locations are pretty nice looking. Its a nice change after all those DAZ3D games. But i can't say the same about animations. Many times they look very unnatural, very robotic. Many times we see something which is clearly not a human movement. Sex scenes overall are not bad but could be better. There are some repeatable sex scenes after reaching requaried relationship level with the girls, but they can be pretty immersion breaking when you have girl naked but when you choose position she has clothes on cuz she had them when you saw that scene for the first time in the story. That's just lazy. Music is pretty nice i think.

Overall Paradise Lust is that type of game which gets worse the more you play it. There is a decent amount of things to do here but most of is a chore, where you constantly have to collect some bamboos, buy something from the catalog, grind points with girls. We're getting many photo rewards for some repeatable things and for playing Woodle. This is nice at the beginning but later on you won't even look on those pictures. It would be far better if like half of those photo rewards were brand new sex scenes instead. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad of a sandbox style game, if only the actual adult content wasn't pretty disappointing and not rewarding. This is 40 hours long game, it would be much better if we had less pointless talking and grinding and more actual sex. Less chore, more sex. Wasted potential.

I honestly can't remember when or what version I started playing this , but i've seriously enjoyed most of the updates since.
Admittedly some of the "Get X amount of Y for Z quest" might become somewhat repetitive, but the flowers and fish are more rare than the bamboo or bananas, which is good.

The whole $EX chip idea is... well, intriguing., but sometimes pretty annoying. I'll admit to having used alternative methods to get a certain amount of those, so I might've avoided some of the grinding, but considering how many games it took me ingame to complete it, that might've been doable.

The whole night and morning interactions to progress most of the stories and start a lot of quests is good, but a way to invite someone from the entire list without visiting them directly, to the jacuzzi / pool / go directly to someone's room might be appreciated, although I understand the coding might be difficult.

The variety of characters is pretty interesting as well.

Gameplay:
Harem Sandbox
So, it's a catch'em all kind of game. It's pretty much simple, you follow the quests, grab various items to advance the story, raise stats with the various girls, and lewd scenes will happen.

Story:
Silly porn. Lost in a paradise island with a bunch of top-models eager for sex. Well, you'll have to find a way out of the island, which will require to find and add each girl to your harem. It's funny, but it becomes quite boring. Especially the dialogues that are stretched to a point that they are no more funny at all.

Graphics/Animation:
Graphics are pretty good. But it's also very repetitive.

Overall impression:
While the premise was quite funny to play, I ended up being bored to the point I had no more interest to finish the game.

I'll have to say what RandyPhoenix said, but with more emphasis. This is a grindfest, boring as dying in a desert. Most of the time you'll be scrolling cringey pseudo-story just to get a retarded blowjob or fuck. Some CGs are really good (and animated!), but most are terrible copy-pastes with just hair color change, and some GFX are outright terrible (mangled feet and hands, retard faces, you name it). The "minigames" are mostly abysmal and kindergarten-level (thanfully there's a skip... after 30 seconds!), the "story" makes no sense whatsoever, the harem idea gets burned by lack female character diversity (you'll get, e.g. but literally, a Texas blonde tomboy mechanic, a black pseudo-cheerleader geek tomboy EE, a Canadian beaver tomboy athlete, an eastern game geek camwhore... see the pattern? And yeah, I really wanted to like this game, because I effing like tomboys, but those are just soulless cardboard cutouts, sadly. I tried, I actually went through the entire game and all achievements... and it was certainly not worth it, being filled mostly by boring repetition of inane tasks (gather fish, gather bananas, gather coconuts, gather plants, win Wordle 100 times... LITERALLY)

I mean, when it started, I'd give it 4/5. After a couple of hours, 3/5. After getting all the harem girls, 2/5... after suffering to the ending, it's 1/5, nothing can give me back the time wasted here, it's not LSL7, it's LSL-1: Boring And Ugly Deadface Protagonist Bones Cutout Girls On A Paradise Island

This game does a lot of things well. Animated, 2d art, lots of content, serviceable gameplay, relatively bug free.

So why the middling score? To put it simply, writing. The unnecessarily long dialogue segments in this game reek of reddit addiction. And the characters beyond their physical appearance are largely off-putting, if not downright unlikeable.

Right off the bat the game makes the harem protagonist feel like a third wheel, a lubricant for someone else's relationship. And shortly after there's even a character designed to be a Karen literally called Karen. In a DATING sim. Cause that's who guys fantasize about dating. Karens.

If you are a compulsive redditor, this game may be for you. If not, you will probably be disappointed.

I really like this game. The characters are likeable and there isn't too much of a grind to get items for story progression.

You can also re-watch the H scenes but they are non-interactive beyond choosing what variation of pussy/anal you want at the moment. They are also pretty jank and you will notice it after a few hours. But they put enough effort in adding a lot of unique scenes for every character that it can be overlooked.

The only issue I have is that this game expects you to 100% complete it, so be prepared to spend a few weeks if you like the game. You can't just pick one or more waifus you like and escape the island. You have to become "soulmates" by the end of the game with everyone to progress the story.

It really doesn't respect your time with the jank minigames either that wont let you select things until some tiny piece of debris is removed above the current layer. But there is a skip timer instead of allowing us to just buy an item to skip them entirely. Fishing is done by rapidly clicking when the "!" appears near the fish, you don't reel it in like the game tells you to from the story and tutorial.

Just finished playing. And I mean finished, all achievements and everything. That got a bit grindy in the end but that's more down to me not planning ahead I guess. Overall the game is fun, some of the characters are gorgeous, some are hilarious, some are... just there.
Love the humor and art style and I weirdly enjoyed the colouring mini-game, I would happily play a whole game full of just colouring just to chill out...
Overall a very enjoyable experience.

So why only 4 stars?
- Some of the dialog gets way too long-winded and you just end up clicking through. Same with repeating scenes, some are way too long and start to get annoying.
- Far too much political ranting. I play to relax and get away from political BS. It really took me out of the game too many times.
- The ending feels very "deus ex machina", for months nothing much happens and then all of a sudden . That just felt rushed.

Having said that, looking forward to part 2!

played in small doses and it was great - lots of content
grinding affection and minigames are a miss but can be skipped with cheats
i liked mastermind/word minigame though
be warned mc is ultimate wuss all game and its off putting - but with overall quality still a 5 star game

This game is really good, works on mobile no problem, the arts not bad either.

My only complaint is very nit picky but the "Hide" button for dialog might be too big because i accidentally hit it all the time

A good game.
Better than average, but not great though.

A lot of sexy characters.
Arts and animations are pleasant.
Gameplay interactions are different.
Overall there are many different gameplay events.
Multiple types of minigames are featured, they are okay, but the best part about them - they can be skipped.

Moving across the map is a bit janky, quick access menu would've been great to have. Going to the map window each time becomes tedious at some point.
Grinding and repetitiveness might get too boring.
Sandbox is not really executed well, here you must play by the book, step by step to progress anything, you cannot just start where you'd like yourself.

I'd say - 7/10.
Better than most games out there.

(Game is in v1.1.0K during this review)

art's good, animations are okay. Resource grinding is a pain (5 clicks to go to location, 3 clicks to get resource, 3 more to go to sleep, repeat, do the whole thing over a couple dozen times).

At some point the sex scenes just... end? I didn't reach the ending because it felt like I'd been playing for at least 3 hours without a single new h-scene.

Review of v1.1.0k

A great 2D adventure game.

The story is interesting. There are many women (13 !) with different personalities and tastes.
Graphics and the animations are correct. BGM are catchy.
The game mechanics are good. You have to earn money to buy new items and unlock situations.
Puzzles are original and varied.
There are a lot of collectibles (posters, wallpapers, thotfolio, replay scenes).
No bugs noticed.

Two slight regrets:
- You can't get the ladies pregnant.
- A few more group scenes would have been nice.

Highly recommended.

So after about 215 in game days, I finally made it to the end of this game.
Phew, this was a long journey and I'm conflicted. The game starts very well, with limited number of characters where each has a shallow personality which tries to be a bit deeper, but imo it doesn't manage to do it because it doesn't flow naturally through the game but through specific "dramatic" scenes.
Few points:
+ the renders and art style is nice.
+ the animations mostly okay, but when pushing to high speed they become messy and not fun to look at.
+ nice addition to skip mini-games, or else it would be a nightmare

The main negative point imo is how long the game is and the amount of characters it has. As you progress, you are presented with new characters, which means you are having exponentially more meaningless dialogue to read. The characters chit chat so much and elaborate extensively on stuff that could be said in 2 lines... To the end of the game, I didn't have anymore patience to read it all. So honestly, I have no idea how the game ended because I couldn't read it anymore.

Loved the painting mini-game, makes me want to buy a lewd coloring book! Wished there were more pictures to paint.

Great art style and variety in the love interests, each with their own unique personalities and not just brain-dead bimbos.

Cons: Too many repetitive fetch quests and somewhat of a grind getting each love interest to a 100 points.
