    PRIMAL×HEARTS is a "by the book" VN, that is backed up by a proper budget. There's nothing bad, amazing or different here, it's traditional all the way, but that's exactly what they were going for, a safe bet rom-com, with cute girls, and Marmalade sweetness. You get exactly what you expect, and for many that's the entire point.

    Positive:
    - It's the standard formula with no deviations - VN's usually have more than "1 typing", but this is a straight-up "moege", that exists solely to entertain you.
    - High production values - Art style is good (visually appealing title), voice acting is solid, robust OST, lots of options/accessibility, and the writing doesn't "rock the boat". The technical side of things is important too, and this VN delivers on those parameters.
    - Decent comedy and slice of life - Same principle really, everything works, and PRIMAL×HEARTS is good for a laugh, having wholesome moments, or watching a group of friends.
    - More H-scenes than usual - And they look good for 2014. If you like "vanilla and pure love", this should work very well.

    Negative:
    - They never heard of taking risks. I can't think of a single element, that can separate this VN, from all the others following the same formula. You got the budget, try something different once in a while (They didn't change their ways since this one, btw).

    Score: PRIMAL×HEARTS is a 7/10 and a good VN, mostly because of production values. This is a solid title for a beginner, since it allows you to see what a long traditional VN has to offer. Let's assume you are specifically looking for more of the same (cute girls, routes, comedy, slice of life, high school setting) PRIMAL×HEARTS fits the bill and does a competent job.

    Definitely top tier light heart romance comedy visual novel.

    Common route alone got this game the 5 stars rating from me. The drama and the character building are so on point by the time you reach the point of choosing the character, you might have fallen in love with the entire casts (including Gomyo and Mizanori)

    The actual character route though is quite weak plot wise in my opinion, making use of a lot of common tropes such as

    In term of routes, Yuzuki < Sera < Haruhi < Hana. I especially dislike Yuzuki route because it's Sera's route, but worse.

    The H scenes are long and good, but sometimes they don't make too much sense context wise (the couples are in the middle of the drama but can't keep their hands away from themselves). Side stories that open after a route clear are basically additional H-scenes.

    Final note is definitely about the seemingly cut heroine that we all deserves but didn't get.

    Alright Bois and Grills It's Review Time.

    Primal Hearts is an A+ tier Romance novel, The setting might be your cliché transfer student story but with a unique twist, I like the MC quite a bit he is not your average wimpy simpy MC usaully found in this kind of VNs. He might seems annoying at the beginning with his playboy persona but that vanishes quite quickly and he became quite likeable, all the girls are cute and likeable as well, the art style is gorgeous, music is ok.

    hscenes are (y)

    The only complain I have is that the best girl
