Subverse (V0.5)
DO NOT SUPPORT STUDIO FLOW
It sucks that I really can't recommend this game, after 4 content patches, but each update has generally left me feeling more and more disillusioned with the whole project. The latest update hit, it crashed before I got to any sex scenes and I was too bored to load it back up to get further.
PROS
DISLIKES/HATES
H-Scenes
I wanted to mostly discuss the sex seperately, chances are if you backed their project or are interested in doing so, you already know the general quality of studioFOW animations and that general visual and audio quality remains in whats on display here, albeit it mostly in six second loops. Taste itself is subjective though, and the style of interaction they've used for the few scenes that do involve interaction isn't one I'm fond of, the common flash game "3 speed and fuck" setting. With the exclusion of perhaps two scenes, none of the sex shown so far wouldn't make it past the pre game warm up of my intended use for it, and the likelihood of me opening this game for lewd purposes are next to zero.

PROS
- Voice acting is superb, Celestina and Erark are a joy to see pop up.
- The waifus are interesting in both design and personality
- The writing is for the most part is so bad, its like a hilariously bad movie
- The game is very pretty in places.
DISLIKES/HATES
- The action gameplay is incredibly samey, often times I'm more dissapointed that yet another wave is coming than I am excited for more combat.
- The sex scenes vary wildly in quality and are far too disconnected from the rest of the game, you will never play it with your dick in your hand or even sporting a semi, and can make the combat sections seem even more tedious when you're also here for the porn in the porn game.
- The universe lore itself is so disconnected from the game, often you'll have two pages of lore to read on a planet before a mission telling you how noone has ever been there or the whole planet is quarrentined or a friggin god lives theres and noone can survive and then you're just in a ground combat mission, fighting unrelated enemies who have as much purpose being there as you, in a background that doesn't represent anything to do with the lore dump you might as well have not read.
- The secondary systems feel pointless and not engaging, the previous update bought new upgrades for your ship that we're affordable immediately after two patches of nothing to spend on and felt completely unnoticable once bought. The new rhythm minigame is the most basic rhythm section I have ever seen in a game, a tutorial for babys first rhythm game and STILL doesn't feel synced to the exact same never changing 4 beat pattern, the dating is ridiculously barebones right now, just a resource dump, the ability to replay old missions doesn't excite me when the thought of playing the new ones doesn't excite me and the gallery poser tool is so basic that only the most ehtusiastic of screenshot enthusiasts will find more than a couple minutes one time look around in.
- Lots of loading screens
