This is a game that I've contemplated reviewing for quite a while, but I wasn't sure how to rate it.
Some things worked really well for me, the humour, the story in general (while it meandered a bit at the start, it quickly turned into a nice space opera)...
The character models were fine, even if there is only one body type, and the faces look pretty similar as well, tbh. it took me a while to keep the brunette girl from the redhead . Sex scenes also weren't bad, but also not great.
TL;DR, I wasn't sure wether I should give it 3 stars or 5 and somehow the compromise 4 also didn't seem so good either.
But with the start of the new season, there is no denying anymore that this is a great VN.
It has great visuals, lots of models and settings, there are some really long and well done animations in it and while I still think some positions look a bit hard to pull off, even with the MC having a large cock, the sex scenes overall have become quite good. (though I won't lie, it could still do with a little more variation to spice it up, so far we have only had straight vanilla sex, no kinks, no RP, no threesomes (though, don't hold me on that, maybe there was a threesome, if so then it didn't really stick in my mind)...
But what makes this one stand out are two things, the grandiose space opera setting, with its mixture of Star Wars, Lovecraft and Firefly. Which slowly build up, until it has reached new heights in the last few updates.
The other thing is the humour, sure it's silly, sometimes a bit infantile, but just that fe. we have this ultra-cool MC, who also constantly shows that he doesn't take himself so serious, that there are completely ridiculous side characters and that more often than not the humour also comes from visuals and expressions (which is a pretty hard thing to pull off in a rendered VN), that the story can switch on a bit from ridiculous goofiness to tragedy, all that makes this a joy to watch, read and play.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying it is perfect, the things I mentioned above mostly still stand, but overall the game does so much right that the game clearly deserves a five-star rating, especially considering how much it has on many of the games here, rocking similar ratings.
There are games that are literally nothing but "you're so hot, please fuck me" where every woman is a humongously-breast equipped bimbo, who instantly wants to fuck the MC, with broken English and two-second loop animations repeated endlessly who get that rating and compared to those, Projekt Passion is classic literature or a Shakespeare play.
