I must say that for a game about a bestselling author, the writing is surprisingly bad...
In the reviews I read comments about a 'well-written story', 'fantastic renders' and 'awesome characters'. so naturally I went in with high expectations. But after playing the game all I can think is: "Huh... what? Did we play the same game?"
First of all the story: it's not the worst plot I ever read but everything is just so painfully cliche! You start in a bar, meet a girl, and of course she immediately wants to suck your dick. Why? 'Just for fun' (and because she's a slut like pretty much all the women in the game). The next 4 girls you meet are your students, and sure enough, they all fall madly in love with you at first sight. You even befriend one of them on the first day of class and are invited to their birthday party (I mean, come on! Was this written by the creators of iCarly?)
There is no build-up, no sense of achievement. It's clear from the first moment that all the female characters want to fuck you, and the only thing you have to do to make that happen, is click through some uninspired and rushed dialogue.
Second are the renders. If this game was created in 2016 I'd say it looked pretty good. But for a game in 2020 it looks average at best. Many of the renders were used before in other games. On top of that they are low quality, with very little detail, empty walls, no decorations, etc.
The models objectively look fairly hot, but they are also very standard and unoriginal. Facial expressions are strange and overdone. There wasn't a single model that I fell in love with. They all look like (and act like) your average porn game bimbo. I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't give a rat's ass, but I personally didn't find any unique aspects that made me want to continue this game.
So overall... Anyone who watched the tv-series Californication? Well, this feels like a low-budget porn parody of that show. If you're into that setting and don't care about the quality you should give this game a try. But otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.
