Ren'Py - Completed - Personal Trainer [v1.1.2] [Domiek]

-------- └(・-・)┘ --------

The game as a whole is good, but I have mixed feelings...

On one hand, I liked the girls and their stories, admittedly déjà vu, but effective.
I liked the humorous referenced dialogues, they are certainly very stupid sometimes, but for me it works.
The visuals are quite correct and there are animations but of fluctuating qualities.

And on the other hand, the trigger event is badly dosed and it is for me the biggest flaw of the game. Too much time wasted having to click in every place and every hour to get clues, it's a bit tiring.

In terms of rating, with a simpler trigger event and longer sex scenes, I would have given it a 4. But the game being a bit too redundant, I'm going with a 3 (because it's not possible to give 3.5).

I still recommend it and since criticism is easier than practice, I want to say thank you and congratulations to Domiek for his work.

It's good game overall, but it also seem like it was finished in a hurry with some of the characters not getting enough love. I mean. it's pretty obvious from differences in amount of scenes, and also from descriptions in hint scren, that they'll stick to their old routines like last event didn't happen. So yeah, definitelly feels like some kind of closure is missing, but still it was fun to play.

At first this game was pretty good. i like some girls and others weren't my type as with all games but the ones i did like were pretty well written especially the cousin. However, this game feels very incomplete. Most of the characters don't feel as though they've been concluded. the most we really get is two of them feeling as though its been the end of their progression and the rest just felt like, "hey we dont have anymore content but we just want to put a completed tag here so unlucky." This game had alot of potential especially with some of the storylines but it just fell flat really. Humor was great at some parts and honestly some of the one off fucks were better than the main characters and that was saying a lot.


tldr; wasted potential making a complete game feel very incomplete with bad storylines and questionable choices for the main females compared to side ones.

What's here is really good, but it must be made clear that this game is NOT COMPLETE. The dev gave up on it, and in game messages allege that there was more to come, but apparently there is not. So go into this game with clear eyes; you will see good art, girls that run the gamut from tight young bodies to sagging milfs, good fun writing, and some good routing and game design concepts that don't get in the way of gameplay. There are also fetishes that that do something for my something really hard, like big ole nipples, pregnancy, public nudity and public sex. But I'm knocking off one star since it's not complete (and thus not fully reviewable) and two for the lying and pretending that it's done.

Doesn't get much better than this.
Witty, funny, entertaining dialogue, great animations and a great range of hot girls to have fun with.
the only thing missing is a little sound, and this could be hands down one of the best games on this site

[Played when complete, v.1.0 but before the current 1.1.2 rework]

Sorry but I just don't get it. This game didn't work for me at any level, I don't like the story, the characters, the graphics are weird (even if I recognize they're not "bad", it's just like there's something uncanny, anyway it's something I could ignore if the rest of the game worked) and the gameplay was too boring, absurdly grindy (and I'm not again grinding in games, but in this case it seemed too much)... Sadly I don't get why this game is so high in votes, I guess I just didn't connect with it.

Anyway, when so many people did don't take my review as a way to discourage you from trying, it's not a way to judge those who enjoyed it or their taste (I wish I'd enjoy it), mostly as a way to don't feel alone if after trying it you feel the same.

This game is average actually. It tries to give you something different but it doesn't. To me it was a little tedious to play it, specially because the only good character takes time to unlock the plot.

The plot is simple but weird. I know it's a sex game, but there's some scenes that defy reality. Girls topless for no reason, people arguing for character dick.

To me the only excelent character was the cousin. She's a good romance plot, nice sex scenes, nice personality. I really identified with her.

Most models are fantastic, while other models are absolutely not my taste. I know woman aren't perfect like most models and most of the games use them and this is surreal, but some of characters in this game are really ugly and no sense.

Beginning animations are poor, but dev prob. learned a lot during this game development because animations improved a lot.


PROS
- Good animations
- Excellent one character plot , the rest is medium
- Good renders, but could improve

CONS
- Plot is really really simple
- A little boring
- Does not deliver anything new or different.
- Half characters are not interesting at all.

A really solid game that had a lot of potential, sadly the Completed tag is a mislead and the story just abruptly ends at one point cutting multiple stories off completely and leaving some with no story at all.

The animations are meh aside from a few but the storytelling is solid even if it is unfinished.

This game is absolutely hilarious. It's very rare to laugh and fap at the same time but this game managed to do just that! There's plenty of sex scenes with good animations and the story is compelling and keeps your attention. Didn't have any issues I could think of great game!

I enjoyed this game until it got to the point where I was no longer invested in it.
That happened pretty quickly.
The art is good, the premise is nice, the cousin is sexy, but... I was just not enthused nor excited to keep grinding the scenes...

I could easily go into so much detail, mark it as 1-2 stars, but I'm not really gonna bother... just bored with it is all.

TLDR: very enjoyable overall experience (4.5/5.0)

pros:
+ no grind whatsoever
+ great characters and models
+ nice writing with good cheesy humor
+ a lot of different scenes
+ wonderful beginnings and middle parts of girl's stories

cons:
- no endings to any main storylines

This is now one of my favorite games. There's no grind at all when you play this game, which is a really big plus in my opinion. Each character had really good sex scenes and satisfying endings. Overall, the game was really easy to progress through and very satisfying to play.

Personal Trainer started out promising as the stories were funny and the twists were cool (I liked the Amy and Jenna stories the most). The final update felt abrupt and flat, thus bringing the whole project down a star. I still enjoyed most of the journey, thus I rated it four stars.

Top to bottom great game for what it was trying to be. The ending might fall for a few people but the dev was never hiding the fact this was to get his own dev skills off the ground. If you want genuine humor and a lot of sex, this is the game you should play.

Three words: Sophie BEST GIRL. Okay so I think that the overall game is pretty crazy. It seems like a slice of life which I generally find really boring. I think that a lot of the characters are down right ugly or just to boring to follow what is going on with them. In my opinion the only really interesting girls are basically sophie, dani, and amy. And, the only good looking girls are well sophie and dani. No offence to amy just not my type.

I think where this game fails really badly is that the story isn't honestly that great. In some sense you could say that it doesn't even really develop. Just slice of life moments happen and then you get an ending. I am not saying you don't end up with anyone just that it feels more like a bunch of pieces and thrown together rather then a story flow. Which can turn a lot of people away.

So I would say that this games go-to is basicalyl its characters and more specifically sophie, dani, or amy. Its worth playing imho 100%.

idk if it's just me but this game is damn broken. The plot is so difficult to follow. There would be skipping of scenes which was very weird. Some girls are fantastic, while other models are absolutely disgusting. Not one for me

A generally good game, but unfortunately it starts well and ends with a lot of flaws.
The characters are interestingly modelled, each with their own distinctive features, which is a nice touch in today's world of homogeneous character modelling. The characters have their own personalities and their personalities change as the plot progresses.
However, the plot is a little too weak and the characters are not connected well enough. A stronger connection between the characters would logically add many more multiplayer scenes, and there is really a lot of potential here to dig deeper. There are many key plot points that are left unresolved later on, such as Cousin's job, the handling of his ex-wife, and not even a final ending is given. (Could there be a reason for my poor playthrough and option choices too?)
Overall, a bit of a shame, this game could have been so much better than it is.

Huge potential wasted. This game is technically "completed" but it definitely feels more like "abandoned" game.

Game starts rather good with a good premise. After being cheated on main character starts working in women only gym as personal trainer. There we can meet with a few womens dealing with their own problems. MC as a very caring man wants to help overcome their problems. And well, he's basically helping them with sex because of course sex resolves any problems and drama in life. The main problem here is lack of content. Out of 9 girls in the game, i would say maybe 3 of them are somewhat completed. Rest barely have any content and/or doesn't have any kind of conclusion/ending. This is not very happy go lucky type of game, even "completed" girls may have some drama moments and bittersweet endings but no ending at all is just not acceptable. The overall writing and dialogues are fine for the most part, but MC sometimes says some really odd and honestly not appropriate stuffs. Like, he is trying too much to be funny at times when being funny is not a best option. I was rolling my eyes few times and honestly wanted to slap MC a couple of times.

The renders quality is not bad and it becomes better later in the game (the same goes for animations) but honestly sex scenes are not that good. They're too simple, too short, not exciting and because of all that, they're not very rewarding. The girls however looks very good. They have different body types with some nice details. They look realistic which is not that common in this types of games. There is no sound, no music in the game so that's not a good thing.

Overall game started on rather high note, showed a lot of potential for a interesting sandbox type game but developer just couldn't fill it with enough content. 10 hours of playtime for sandbox game is not much. It's really a shame...

Renders: 5/5
The renders are great.
Animations: 3/5
Average animations but it's the most difficult (technically) thing to do properly and the vast majority of games have bad animations.
Story: 3/5
The main story is bad, another gym trainer. But some arcs are fun (e.g. Hikori's one), stupid but fun.
Gameplay: 3/5
No grinding but quite repetitive. Becomes boring and irritating towards the end.

I'm conflicted about this game, the art and the renders are actually really good in my opinion, but the writing is usually really bad and the stupid political jokes the author shoehorns in are annoying rather than comical. There's something good here but the execution I think is off, if the characters were a bit more fleshed out and if there was less time management I think it could be something fun and interesting, but as it is right now, its just ok if you're looking for porn, anything else I doubt you'll find.
