So honestly this game is a 1 for me, but I don't really think that's a fair rating so I'm going with 3 as a compromise.
I know nothing about Rick and Morty. I've heard good things, my friends all love it, but every trailer I ever saw looked awful to me. All of the preceding two sentences also applies to Adventure Time, and one day I gave into peer pressure and watched one episode of Adventure Time (main character met some vampire girl). I hated it. HATED it. Couldn't find a single redeeming thing about it. So, all of that is to say that I don't trust my friends' opinions on shows and have never watched a single episode of Rick and Morty and never plan to.
But, I did decide to give this game a try. I did not care for it at all. I found the writing confusing and unfunny, I found the characters grating and annoying, and I found the sex scenes wholly unsexy.
"But Bugbear32! Of course you aren't going to like the game if you haven't ever seen the show!" And that's a fair counterpoint and exactly why I am rating the game a 3 instead of a 1. I will also point out that I have never seen a single episode of Danny Phantom, Kim Possible, Fairly Oddparents, Loud House, and a number of other shows, all of which have h-games based on them that I have enjoyed despite my unfamiliarity with the source material. And that is the reason that I am leaving a rating at all. Because it is possible to make good h-games based on existing properties that can be enjoyed by a wider audience.
