Ren'Py - Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5597] [Kompas Productions]

The best 2DCG game I've played on this site, an excellent and refreshing experience.
Pros :
- Divers cast of characters with their own twists
- Solid storyline
- Beautiful animations and art
Cons :
- A bit too much grinding with the minigames

Really the best project among all 2d games.

• Game Benefits:

1. The drawing is really good and looks like a cartoon
2. animation is made for every 18+ scene in the game and it pleases, tired of looking at static pictures in other projects
3. The game has a lot of Easter eggs or references to famous personalities, you can even fuck someone
4. Although the genre itself is ordinary (Weak student becomes macho) But here it is done very well, you have to study, train and earn money. You see progress.
5. The plot is well done. We need to find out what happened to father (It would seem trite but interesting). side quests are just as good as the main quest.
6. There are a LOT of characters in the game. Almost all of your fetishes are here (gilfs, milfs, shemales, there's even a gay one in the game, but he's for fun and you can't interact with him sexually (yet)
7. I can only say one thing about fetishes: check for yourself a lot of different ones, you can’t go wrong
8. Entertainment: Want to go fishing? OK
   Do you want to study? OK
   Do you want to find a treasure? OK
   Do you want to participate in rap battles? OK
   Want to deliver pizza? OK
   Do you want to fuck the teacher? OK
   Shake your muscles? OK
9. Community: Lots of people supporting and translating the game (best fans) Lots of fan art and mods

• Game disadvantages:

1. Rumor has it that we will master Mars before this game is over. It's really long term.Although updates come out and interesting, but very rarely

Outstanding art, story, and characters. They've been in a bit of a content drought as they work on a major tech update, but they've gotten out a few things here and there. It is honestly a bit of a drag how long the current tech update is taking; though. Hopefully when it is done, we'll see far faster updates going forward. Overall, it's an outstanding game for this genre.

"This Game Is Really Good and Well Made but Still Have Some Big Flaws"

Imagine if you play a game where the main focus is a phat ass and all the girl's main attraction is their ass but there's no doggystyle let alone anal scene in it, that's what I got with this game but for booba. The art is so good all those delicious big booba made me droll and I absolutely enjoy my time when I play this game and has a couple of my favorite girls (all are the milfs btw) but when I start to think, especially after I play Amazon (Nacchuushou) games, I just realized, where the fuck is the titfuck? (I think there are only one or two scenes of it maybe) why we ain't eating those delicious mommy milkers left and right? (I think only one scene with the mom) and that was just such a big letdown. Granted, you'll still enjoy this game regardless but this really sticks in my mind. You don't play porn games for the plot but this game has some nice routes every now and then.
Now I don't bother checking all those never-ending pre-patch updates and would only check it again in the next 3 years so there might be some booba-focused scenes added, or not.

Rating Distribution:

+1 Obligatory
+1 Booba
+1 Delicious MILFs
+1 Lots of Good Fuck Scenes
+1 Absolute Banger Mods
+1 Actual Baby Making Sex on Some of the Girls and MILFs (Don’t Know How Much Is Due to the Naughty Mod)

-1 Really Lacking on the I Do Things to Booba Department

-0 Development Is a Total Slug

dont play this game without cheat mode ON ! -- i like the game but HATE the mini games -- the mini games will destroy your keyboard and mouse without the cheat mode on -- HOW ?? you have to tap your space bar or click your left mouse button like a million times a second to win the mini games -- by the end of this game your spacebar key or left mouse button is gone --
so have the cheat mode ON !!!

At first, I was pretty confused and slightly annoyed by the Game because I did not know what to do sometimes, but after some time I really started to like it. It is really well-made, and you can see that a lot of passion was involved in the development of the Game. The first thing that caught my eyes was the very impressive Artwork. Every Character has their own Kinks and personalities. The Storyline is excellent and has lots of great moments and Sidequests that you don't see in other Games.
The Sex Scenes are really good. Some could be longer or have more options, but all in all are very well-made. This Game has so much to offer, which is incredibly impressive.
The Story Guidance can be really confusing without a Walkthrough. I started without a walkthrough and was really confused on what to do next. In some examples the Main Character says I should visit Person A and when I talk to her nothing happens when it turned out that it took 2-3 Days or a whole week for it to work.
Also, the hints the Characters give you are sometimes hard to understand and can make the Story playtime longer than you want. That's why I would recommend using the Walkthrough on Summertimesagawiki. There are a few sidequests that I couldn't do like Person E did not want to follow me to the Graveyard which didn't make much sense and I still don't know if there is a solution or if it's going to be added in an update!?
I for example had done stories pretty mixed, which then made the story not make sense in some instances. For example, when I fucked Person A who is in my house I can't fuck her when she is watching TV, or she can only do foreplay or gets very defensive, but when I am at her barn I can fuck her.
The Mini-games are pretty good, but can feel too grindy and can get pretty boring. Money Cheat would be recommended. With the issues aside, it's a great Game and one of the best of its genre, I would definitely recommend it.

Pros:

Great/Fun Storyline
Great Artwork
Fun Sidequests
Lots of great characters
Sex Scenes are pretty good

Cons:
The Story Guidance can be really confusing without a Walkthrough.
Making Money can feel too grindy.
Minigames can be pretty annoying without cheats on.
Rating:4/5

Don't play this game. I've tried it long ago and I deeply regret. Ever since, every other games on F95 can't suffer the comparaison. Great graphics, tons of contents, huge amount of choices... Playing this game is choosing to enjoy far less the others available.
The only default that I could find is the waiting between two updates, which is quite understandable since it always brings more things to do and, therefore, takes time.

i gotta say i dont really do reviews on games on here but as my first one i have to give it to summertime, ive played so many versions of this game since 2016 and honestly has to be the best hentai game yet at least for me again its not complete but the content that is in the last build i played was awesome so far i think eve is my fav route in the game then probs the bully without spoiling anything i do hope for maybe a more slow progress before sex and whatever else but thats just me i love slow burn sorry if this review did have a shit ton of grammar issues i was about to sleep and just wanted to drop a review on this game.

Why only two stars ?
This game is good, nice art work. Good/Fun storyline,
Yet there is a Major Problem with this game for some players.
I choose to play this game because
there is a setting where the mini games are suppose to be Skip-able.
Due to some damage to eyes and the right hand this is the mode that I chose.
But the fact is that in that in this game mode ,
ONLY SOME MINI GAMES ARE SKIP-ABLE !!
This has lead to some routs becoming unplay-able due to
Mini-games on other routes (Mainly Pizza route)

Note: I will rate 5 for games that I think are worth the download (even if incomplete or imperfect) and 1 for games that I think are not worth wasting time (although in my text I talk about their positive aspects).

Maybe THE BEST VN I've ever played! Better perhaps even than Beeing a Dik. Although we can't compare, as one is cartoonish and hand-drawn and the other 3DCG more realistic. There is a main story, about the Russian mafia murdering your father, but most of the time it's you, a teenager living with an older woman and her daughter, and living with your neighbors, students and high school teachers. We have this mix of STORY and sandbox (where you can repeat events). In this environment, we have the classic situations, where you see the girl taking a shower in the bathroom, rub your penis on the MILF who is cleaning the house, and where you go trying to have sex with them. The game has almost no music, but you get so immersed in the situations that you almost don't notice it. Art is unique. The animations are good, and because they are hand-drawn, they look more organic than most 3DCG animations that look like dolls.

You fuck pretty much every woman you know. But for me the highlight is the most popular girl in school, Roxxy, who you find out she's a poor girl with failing parents. The writing is good in that sense, giving things a greater complexity (and also has social criticism and parody with known politicians).

The only flaws: useless minigames. little variety of options during the sex scenes (although we can control the speed). the low amount of frames in some animations. the little aesthetic variety of the girls: despite the game being inclusive (we have Brazilian, Korean, black woman, Russian etc) many have the same face that I don't know how to identify the ethnicity, mostly brunette women. I also thought it was bad for a side story about a woman who sells cheese made from her own breast milk (quite absurd and takes you out of the game). The end of the game, we have the outcome of this arc about the death of your father. However, the game has several side stories.

Finally gave it a solid go at the famous summertime, after completing 2 girls and being halfway through many others I get why people like this game, the characters are great and you legit feel for them in their problems and wish to give them a hand. The quest line for each character is very interesting, creative, and unique, a very important characteristic for VNs like this.
That being said, the porn part is overall weak, with what appears to be the usual problem of "too many girls, too few quality" this game has forty girls to unlock in the cookie jar main menu button, and you feel the lack of sex scenes or more kinky stuff with the girls you grinded so much for it. I believe the game would be much better if there were fewer characters but more focused content. Also, the art is not great, specially in the porn scenes, where it should be. Good game, but not excelent.

A very sweet game that does the 2D artstyle justice with both great animations and an amazing, yet unique look. One of the very first games I ever played on this site and still to this day one of the very best in terms of the amount of content and how free you are to pursue whichever path in the game you want to take.

Not sure when the full release will be completed, but if you are new to this game I reckon your best call would be to wait for that as it seems to not be very far behind. If not you still have loads of content to go through already in the game.

A very charming game with some minor flaws. Let's talk about the good things first. The art style is amazing. Each character has a unique look. Normally, I'm not into comic style games, but Summertime Saga manages to be both cute and sexy. My only complaint is that some of the girls' tits are too massive. But that's just my personal preference.

The story is a bit on the "meh" side. It starts great, but gets lost in too many side paths. I like the writing, even though the MC lacks personality. Most other characters are stereotypes which is fine, because it's an adult game and not a Dostojewskij novel. I especially love Roxxy and Eve, they're portrayed in a respectful, thoughtful manner. On the other hand, I detest the decision to integrate Trump into this game, because it prevents the game from being timeless. Not a wise choice by the devs imho.

There is grinding in this game, I highly recommend using the Naughty Mod. You really don't miss anything if you decide to skip the stat / money grind. Overall, the game is designed very well. The map is informative and nice to look at. Navigation is easy and quick. The hint system also works fairly well. There's some adventure logic at times, so stay clear if you don't like that. It's not really a game to fap to, even though it turns into non-stop sex after a while.

Development is slow, but the game is basically finished. There are only some side characters without a storyline. I really hope I live to see an Annie update in my life.

okay so finished with the current content 20.14 except the choose get a girlfriend path for erik.
the game is great with lots of scenes and lots of girls.
the incest patch wasnt the smartest honestly.
the story is great but i feel like it should have ended really with the end of part 3 because what is next? we don't even have any characters that we didn't fuck yet .
the story is pretty much at a good point to end it with a few 3somes and 4somes and orgies or something.
but lets see what will happen next.
anyway Great job developer and thanks <3 .

Best game on this site in my humble opinion. Fun story, simple gameplay, memorable characters and scenarios. Well worth a try! I have replayed this game quite a few times and have not gotten tired yet.

This is the best 2D game. I wish they made it in 3D as well.
5 stars for each and every detail.
The plot is the best and the development is spot on. You don't get bored and each character is unique. I would love to see them in 3D .
This is the most popular game and it deserves it.
Monica's is the best forbidden relationship in all of the games that's currently available.

The best vn in the world, it just have it all, to me it's the one that started all, if you wanna play a novel where you can do whatever this is the one for you.

renders 5/5

plot 5/5

animations 4.5/5

overall 4.83 / 5

It is the oldest and the most famous game in adult industry i remember playing this game when its first released it have some memories with me the story is original have alot of charecters and paths some great scenes i really recomend playing it

Been the best Adult game since it came out, and it still is. The only issue is the speed it's being developed at. But that's not an issue unless you're stupid enough to pay for it like 10 bucks a month. You can easily just give one time donation if you're really invested.

That said, it's by far the most consistent on graphics, UI and writing standpoint. It doesn't really stand out as amazing in any of those, aside from the graphics. But that's purely in the sense that it has a clear visual design, and it sticks to it. Whether you LIKE the cartoony look or not, you have to admit that it is much superior to the generic 3D render that's the mainstay of Adult games.

So, in all respects it stands out from the pack. The top billed "being a dik" for example has pretensions of being well written, but actually tends to fall on its face if you just start to just reading the pure text, and the graphics on it are extremely generic 3D renders.

I'm mentioning this only as a comparison because it is currently the top rated game on this site, which blows my mind when compared to Summertime Saga.

This is a five star game, despite its flaws. The animations are some of the best you will see of Western 2D. It is a slow burn game initially, but thats meant to be part of the fun - a fantastic erotic build-up culminating in lewd.

The game has become influential because of its financial success, and is a great entry point into lewd games. I found myself comparing it to others, as if it was a benchmark in terms of quality and competence.

Might not be for everyone, due to the grind (grind sounds terrible, but thats the fault of bad games that really do grind), but its well written, engaging. Really a great example of a lewd game where the world is as interesting as the sex.
