I came back after 3 years to give this one another go as I had hopium this game will surprise me in v1.0. In the end, I was pleasantly... disappointed. I am changing my review from decent to sub-par. They didn't even bother to improve and add upon the existing game mechanics. It's like "Hey! Let's just ignore the game's foundation and add more fluff pieces!"
The Devotion Quests are meh, most of the erotic scenes are still outside of the story, character interaction is still minimum outside of the main plot, ground combat is braindead X-COM, space combat is repetitive chore, ship upgrades are literal tiny 5% number boost, loading screens almost everywhere even talking to crewmates, the writing is god awful cringey, and there is ZERO actual exploration(all of the extra planets are just text boxes).
I like the FuccBot idea as a fresh fun spin on rogue AI, I like the character designs(Demi, Killison, and Elaisha), the voice actors clearly had fun, and there is a decent foundation of world-building. But it is damaged by uninspired combat, dissonance between inside and outside of main plot, tone-deaf writing, lacklustre upgrade and reward system, vapid lack of exploration in a sci-fi adventure, and an abundance of loading screens.
I actually had more fun with Starfield with/without mods because at least I can physically pretend that I am in a sci-fi setting and interact within its limited space. The best I can describe this game is a glorified VN. It makes a parody of Mass Effect and its famous romance gameplay, yet they put little to no effort onto why Mass Effect's romance and companion system is beloved. I am sorry if I sound harsh, but this was a porn game that propped itself up as the "first" AAA high production game by its own developers. I am thoroughly disappointed.
