TLDR: The 1 star review below me is dumb: They didn't save the game, paid attention to game hints to avoid softlocks, or played through the later acrs with better art and thus missed a loop to allow completing ALL sidequests.
Here is how I portrayed myself as the Chad, and them the Soyjack:
Alright, I wasn't planning on leaving a review yet, but since
someone left a half baked 1 star review
Apea0 here is mine:
I played the game on two different instances, maybe at 2017/2018, and another one since 2021/2022 until now when I rediscovered it. Hence why I'm qualified enough to shed some light on some of the biassed criticisms here.
First time I was... well, no use glossing over it, taken a bit back due the art style. That coupled with playing early on the morning, and having exhaustion from uni lead me to the objective error of saying "nah, not worth it." and forgetting about it eventually.
Now, let me tell you about what happens when you endure the first 5-10 minutes and ACTUALLY play.
absolute peak game
The game has a few solid points, which I will try to summarize here from experience and some very very on point comments I have read over time on this forum:
-T
he art grows on you. Really, 90% sure it will. It stops looking bizarre and like a child drawing, you end up liking it and hanging it on the fridge. Also, if you don't, the art gets a
SERIOUS upgrade after some arcs, just check the itch.io page <https://weirdworld.itch.io/superhuman> for the gorgeous pics, which leads me to...

Game arcs and content! Even if you read fast (I do) It still takes
A LOT of time to navigate all the game, maybe 10h from start to the end of 0.996 (up until now, more coming on its way

)It has a bit of "beginner" arc, where you navigate the serious change of the MC acquiring his powers and causing minor mischief (If you want to, of course), it pivots then to the... surge of "problems", let's call it like that, and a first glance at the serious players and powers at play on this worldbuilding (sadly not the MC... yet), and then proceeds to the
big guns, where the MC begins to do a lil' more than trolling on its uni and actually partakes in an uphill war escalation with enough room to allow the player to still shape (heh...) its character. Which reminds me of...

I LOVE THE SIDE CHARACTERS! I LOVE that ranging from the random ass NPC you fuck on one scene and then banishes from the game forever, to the companions to the
almost canon... love interest are unique. They don't hang around idly without visible change and room temperature IQ waiting for you to interact, they have a great and unique characterization, backstory, motives, hopes and dreams, grudges and
peak battles where the MC is nowhere to protect his little friends, oh no, they get serious screen time and I love it too. And not just the girls, the characters you can't have romantic relationships (Most of the male cast) also get this good treatment. And they also get...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-
Sex scenes for everyone (in the audience)! Have you ever wanted to goon to morally questionable content?
(Probably, this is F95 after all...) well... You can here too!!! There are
SO MANY sex scenes, some people here just gloss over them on later acts to get straight to the plot. Beautiful. Also, the most... eh... "bizarre" content is absolutely optional!
Only 1 vanilla sex scene is mandatory, then you're free to do as you please

Also, do you like to be a completionist? because...

Walkthrough and game hints! A pair of fans (Will add names later, sorry!) maintain a curated and up to date walkthrough accessible on this very same page. It may not be fool proof as demonstrated by
someone, but it's clear and easy enough to follow and avoid sofltlocking yourself, which you can avoid entirely by JUST FUCKING SAVING THE GAME, DAMN IT!
...
Anyways! Don't want to download a .pdf from F95? Okie doki! just pay attention to the
several warning 4th wall breaks around the first arcs of the game when you're told
"Hey, champ, did you train enough? Make sure to train or you will get softlocked!" I never softlocked myself and I read fast... Also, at the end of one arc
you may enter a voluntary loop to finish all side quests! So, unless you're
someone, you won't miss any content avoiding softlocks! Oh, am I missing some shitty point? Okey, let's talk about the...

Malleable, yet unique on its own MC. The MC has a bit of backstory you can't change obviously, but beyond his name, surname, hero persona and allegiances,
the player can shape its morality and how characters perceive him, ranging from borderline psychopathic, uncaring and appalling, to empathetic (as much as considering his difficult childhood and trauma he's able to), warm and charming. The MC is not a big talker on its own, but with a lil' of player imput, he can sweet talk, solve crimes, wipe the competition on debates... AND
if you give your PC to your brother and he starts playing the opposite than you like an ass (killing innocent people, being a jerk, jumping to action without a plan and acting dumb...)
you won't feel the MC split narratively. Characters (usually) remember the MC's actions in context and sometimes point inconsistencies, but you don't feel playing "Edgy Superhuman" vs "Good boy Superhuman" gamecontent wise.
The game accounts for nearly everything you can think of other VN fail at portraying and making the MC feel human: The MC can have a strike of inspiration, yet be otherwise dumb. He can be absolutely a monster yet have a moment of warmth and remorse from his mistakes
, and all other personality combinations (In reverse too) you can think of! Mc's base "shrug" personality is always there, and what the players adds into the story is always a pluss, hardly ever an unresolved bug-branching inconsistency like other VNs. I found myself really comfortable and liking both the base MC and the one I shaped myself.
There are
way more good points, but sadly, I need to go do my own stuff. I will likely come later and grammar-check and fill in some gaps. Maybe even add some minor criticism of my own (not dropping from 5/5 stars though).
My advice? Play the game until the Frat party, 30-60' depending how fast you read. If you no longer care about the old art style and you feel invested on the story and manage to pull through the "party"... You will know if the game is for you, or not.
Cheers!
