    I absolutely love this game! one of the best on this site, and it keeps getting new updates with new content, which is awesome!
    The art is both good and new and interesting, the gameplay is very fun and i love the sci-fy aspects. it has good plot as well as good " plot"!

    Kept me sleepless, marathoning it every time new content arrived!
    has a good number of interesting and fun systems and mechanics, without being overcomplicated mess, ensuring you are enterntained and have veriety of activities and options but arent drowning in them.


    Its the kind of game i love, and hits both my sweet spot for what i want to see in a game and for what i want to see in smut!

    5/5 For the gameplay elements and the story. Fixing up your ship and mining, smuggling and taking on bounties is fun as is the whole crafting sexbots mechanic. One of the best actual games on the site with loads of possibilities to expand it.

    For me the main improvements need to be made on the porn side. The models look good but we need more fleshed out scenes with creampies and moneyshots. Balls deep anal is always a winner too lol threesomes foursomes lesbos orgies all that.....

    Just dropped the game.

    Where should I start...

    From the start, gameplay appears to be quite simple, a little grindy, but still entertaining. It goes to mining, selling minerals, buying upgrades for the ship, and slowly subduing your only humanoid teammate.

    But at some point, balance just...wrecks.

    The planet which is said to be the source of AI Cores is guarded so heavily, that you'll need at least 9 Cores already, for best available Shield, Torpedo Launcher and Cannon. That's one shit of a balance.

    The scenes...looked promising when I just began the game.
    When I started to advance the companion scenes, I was spirited up, hoping that it's just first scenes, and then it would be better. But what I got then - mid animation with almost no sound effects - no moans or grunts, only quiet plapping sound (and even this wasn't used much). And it's a shame, cuz 3D models here are hot as hell.

    And even if I wanted to proceed further to test other scenes - another problem (alongside balance) crippled me.

    Scenes achievements are tediously...time-ineffective to get.

    When I wanted to get the Sex scene with first companion, I couldn't do this for a 15 days trying different actions. That was, until I opened the manual, and figured out, that I need to recruit hacker companion, and advance her storyline. I did it, yeah, but after getting the Sex scene - again, almost nothing changed - no even hints for further progressing. I opened the guide again, and it told me...that I need yet ANOTHER companion to advance.

    I decided to ignore that companion, and try to romance hacker. She gave me a quest to build a 2-3 generation military bot.
    For this I had to farm robot crates for about a hour. I created bot, read for another 10 minutes plot-related text, and HELL YEAH - she offered me a favor.
    I got all exited...until found out that it's only a handjob scene. And animations were on the same quality level. As well as sound design.

    I don't know, maybe I dropped it on 15% of completion, and towards the end all animation/sound effects will be much better, maybe animations will be easier to get, and space battle balance will be more reasonable, but I'm not intended to continue.
    It's the only game yet, that forced me to grind for a handjob scene.

    Pretty amazing game, especially compared to the trash that washes up on f95, which is why I'm still giving it 5 stars instead of a more deserved 4... but I digress. Honestly, it's faster to just list what's bad about the game, which isn't much.

    It unfortunately requires much more grinding than one might expect, partially at least due to the nature of how the game developed (ie, mining mini-game came first, uncomplicated grind that is basically dropped by second half of the game). Plus, the space combat part can be weirdly unbalanced (one required mission is so hard, dev literally had to release a strategy guide to beat it to allow story advance). Lastly (a more personal gripe), the chat options clearly cycle through a limited number of options without sometimes dropping options as stats change, so you'll still be hearing about the fat guy taking a space walk sans space suit even by the end of the game... but there are still a lot of chat options, since like half are connected to specific repeatable scenes; the options per scene still cycle, which gets quite tedious once you read a few and they repeat.

    But beyond those few issues, the rest of the game is 10/10, maybe even 11/10, even if some of the art is arguably recycled from dev's previous game! Am definitely a fan of this interpretation of a management game, so perhaps I'm biased about some of the UI design for cargo management. Also interesting how the game didn't just devolve into a brothel game.

    This is a great game, it's not just clicking, it's about fighting, upgrades, puzzles. Nice graphics, lots of items and assets. Interesting story. And sexy girls. There's really a lot of work behind it.

    This is a fun and well made game with sexy characters, well paced game play, funny story, the creator is active and does a lot to make great games. Looking forward to seeing how progress of this game and the creator will be.

    The UI:s and how you interact in the world need a major rehaul. It is not a Nancy Drew game from the 90:s, there is no need to make the game difficult with bad design.

    It is a good idea, but the execution is really sloppy. The scenes are sloppy.

    The intro should not be explaining bad game design, just make it better and go for story instead. Most players will only see the first 5 minutes, make them count.

    Bottom line with this game is that its well made, and overall quite good, but the sex content is DEEPLY unsatisfying.

    The game sits in a pretty strange place. Its one of those games where there's a lot of gameplay in between lewd scenes. Often this is a detriment, but the gameplay is actually kinda fun in this one. So playing through, it seems like its shaping up to be a great game. The thing is though, that you'll go like 1-2 hours at least between any actual sex scene happening, and the MOST you'll get is a 2 frame loop and it ends.

    What makes it even more frustrating is that the setup and context for sex content is good, and the game looks great, so it seems like with just a bit more effort these scenes could be really great. Literally just a few more images for each scene instead of the absolute bare minimum and this game would be great.

    But nope, and the game feels like a frustrating waste of time as a result.

    This is a rather impressive game in many ways.
    However, I find that while it is quite the marathon of a game, the immediate rewards are lackihng too much to wish to run the whole length.

    Plot: 4/5
    Setting: 4/5
    Characters: 3/5
    Models: 3/5
    Sounds: 5/5
    Music: 5/5
    Non-sex Animations: 3/5
    Sex Animations: 2/5
    Sex: 2/5
    Fetish Variety: 1/5
    Sex Frequency: 1/5

    Be warned that this game is a long one. Even massively cheating as best I can, it has beena few sessions of playing and I'm still not halfway through it.
    Unfortunately this made me re-evaluate my time and I have decided to drop this, as I could be doing a lot more things that are more enjoyable.

    I don't have a strong recommendation in either direction. If you like slow paced space games, this may be a good one for you.

    Simply one of the best games around here. And I mean GAME! The sex content isn't even central. Game with an actual gameplay and story.
    It's not that much of a completed game despite the tag, lots of content still waiting to be implemented. But 5 stars well deserved nonetheless!

    A very long and fun sandbox game. There are RPG mechanics especially regarding trading. Nice graphics, funny and parodic story with a real ending. I liked it and I recommend it. It was developed in less than two years, congratulations, that's how the work has to be done.

    Amazing work, the game is expansive and engaging with a ton of content and minigames that add to the overall story. Rare that a porn game pulls you in and makes you interested in the world and narrative but this game has it.

    The game is fun, the design is unique, and the story is entertaining.

    I can't give it 5 or 4 stars because there are very few sex scenes in proportion to the effort and time it takes to get to them. I'm not kidding when I tell you it took me 3 hours to get my first handjob. Not all the crew members have scenes, and most of the erotic content is just images, not animations.

    In my opinion, the game could have more erotic animations featuring the protagonist to make the long gameplay more bearable.

    The game has the makings of a good corruption game, but does not achieve a satisfying conclusion. It starts off very strong with lots of things to do to advance the Lis and game, but it falls off dramatically less than halfway through. I'm sure you've played a sandbox game that just leaves you just passing days waiting with nothing to do, and only one storyline to advance. There's a lot of grind, which may even be desirable in a corruption game, but it just doesn't pay off here.

    Another NSFW game failing at wanting too much.

    I really wanted to like the game: I love space / sci-fi worlds, the game is complete (big plus!) and the images do look good.

    However, 2-3 hours into the game without having seen a single lewd scene and being stuck with only one LI around the MC, I realized that the game requires big amount of grind in order to progress.

    The only mission I had was to travel to a new found anomaly in the space. My current engine doesn't allow me to go there, so I have to buy a better one. The problem: That thing costs 500k. You earn around 20-30k a day. This means I'd have to fly more than 20 times to asteroid areas, play the farming "mini game" - which is boring as fuck since you just place your line and hit space on static images - fly back, land my ship in the spacestation, sell all the individual material from 6 different tabs, go to sleep, wake up, schedule the next day, take off again, fly to the asteroids.. repeat.. 20 or 30 times.

    This means the game simply doesn't respect the players time. There are also like 8 different sub-systems in your ship and tons of different materials to farm in space.

    And that's unfortunately where so many NSFW games fail: The devs forget they're making porn games. Everything else is just a framework to make the porn feel fantastic, not the other way around.

    If I want to spend hours in space farming asteroids and trading materials on space stations, I would actually play No Man's Sky or Elite Dangerous. In these games I can fly my spaceship in POV in space with fantastic music and graphics and 10000x times better gameplay.

    If you, as a dev, create an NSFW game, the sex part is your strength! Don't try to contest with fully blown games. Don't overcomplicate your systems. Don't make people grind hours for nothing.

    Judging by the visuals, if the dev ditched all the unnecessary clumsy grind and focused on fun little hot events all over the ship and wherever the crew goes, this game could've been really great.

    You want the player to find 2-3 parts for their ship to improve? Write a mission around it! Put some story in it. Let the MC encounter hot lewd scenes in the meanwhile, then just tell through the story how they install it and next mission! The simulation part and menu diving is such a waste.

    Finally something that deserves to call itself a game.

    Space Journey X at its core is a perfectly decent and serviceable game. Nothing groundbreaking, but a game I ended up quite enjoying. You get a real sense of progression and becoming stronger in this game as you upgrade your ship, upgrade your relationships with your crew and earn more money. This sense of progression and scale also applies to the different galaxies you visit. The world-building is also done quite well.
    The story is also very straightforward, with your main objective being clear from the very start and the necessary substeps revealing themselves upon encountering them. I also found the minigames enjoyable and engaging enough, especially ship combat. There are also several points in which you can decide to pursue a certain goal in several different ways, which gives you a very nice illusion of choice (I don't know if the choices have actual consequences but to me, while playing, they felt like they did.

    As for the sexy stuff, I liked the style and characters in general, however, the actual sex scenes were not animated particularly well and are thus the only thing I would have as a point of criticism. What is commendable, however, is how well-paced the character progression is. The way different characters are introduced at different points in the game makes it so that there is a quite steady stream of new and different sex scenes for you to encounter while basically just playing the game. There are no real draughts of gameplay in which you only progress the main story, or you only progress a character's story because you will most likely end up doing both simultaneously. The sex scenes are also not all just stacked near the end of the game, but, as I said, well dispersed throughout the progress of the game,

    So, if you sum all of this up this has been a fun experience to the point that I actually went and supported the developers. For me this is one of the best games on this site.

    Best Erotic game in Sci-Fi genre.

    This game absolute masterpiece if you are looking for actual game with adult content. You got great gameplay, ship management, nice crewmembers. Some hidden quests. Also game is completed and seriously polished. You can finish it, put it on the shelf and live happily after.

    The major downside is amount of porn and really simple animation. Also there are zero romance between crewmembers that spent almost a year in one ship.

    Must play game. Play it right now before it become very outdated.

    Hi, while I don't think the game deserves 5/5 (amazing game) (game of the decades) review (I have a pretty high standard, if you can forgive me) but I do think what's in it (and the enjoyment I spent playing it) made with effort so much that it at least warrants a review/feedback :) .

    The Gameplay :
    The gameplay is quite extensive and made with much more depth than most porn games you could find, and I do think it's one of the strongest element of the game.
    It has a decent enough in-game economy with ship's parts system and what not, but I do think some elements from the game could be fleshed more for better experiences (bots systems are not fun at all, battle system is just weird with unlimited movement)

    The Writing :
    I think this is the main weakest point of the game, and I do think writing should be the most important of any story, its the engine that drives the game forward, the game currently lacks it, sure the player have many "side quests" like peeping their crew or making them wearing revealing clothes, but in bigger picture, while the players is making money, nothing is really going on.
    The writing is what separates the good from the greats.

    The Sex Scene :
    The game currently lacks character development enough to deepen the sex scene, it has the biggest pitfall most adult games fall into : treating characters as checkboxes for sex scenes. I don't want a repeated handjob scene with a character I don't care/know nothing about (I'm not that young anymore), I want some interactions with them, to know more about them, whether to sympathize/downright hate them, the writing and the sex scenes complement each other.

    TLDR: what's inside the game is currently good enough/made with effort enough that warrants an enjoyment from a gameplay or two, but with more polish it could be way better, going forward I suggest the developer put more effort in the writing to put their work to the higher level, good luck dev, and have a nice one.
