Well, that's a tricky question to answer.
I really like the game a lot, and so do a lot of folks who's been playing this game for a while, but it will all depend on what you're looking for in the game.
If you're looking for any of the following aspects in this game, then I'd say don't waste time, and look elsewhere, cause the game clearly won't be for you:
- Girls jumping on you the first chance they get (or too quickly as some zone game do)
- Incest
- Netorare (NTR. Player character's LI cheats on player character. This is separate from Netori [cuckolding someone]. Too many people confuse between the two and think they're the same)
However, if you're looking for any of the following, I'd say the game may be up your alley:
- An engaging story which ranges from heartwarming moments, to laughs, to dark/tragic stories
- Solid characterization of characters, whether it's the LIs or others, where our MC develops relationship with them over time
- Expansive mafia world with rich lore, a.k.a. DeLuca-verse, heh.
Most people who like the camp (including myself) are obviously in the latter camp.
So, as I said in the beginning, depends on what you're looking for.

Just out of curiosity: what engine games do you prefer in general. For me it is something like
RPGM: too engulfed in some half assed combat system which isn't fun and doesn't help the story, always playing more or less the same. Also tons of time consuming running around and navigating a larger than necessary map.
Unity/Unreal: devs tend to be too enamored with the possibilities of the engine, forgetting about story and decent gameplay, so it becomes a tech demo
Flash: simple point and click games, with little content
Other: either try to emulate RenPy (mostly incompletely) or fall under Unity/Unreal. Tend to lack any comfort elements like speeding up/skipping read text, simple UI hide, etc.
Note that this is mostly a problem of the dev not the engine. I have played RPGM games with actually interesting and engaging gameplay (after all I like RPGs) or ignoring the whole RPG/running part completely. A few of my favorite games are done in Unity. And even some of the clicks in Flash are fun. But it is a general impression that games tend to go this way, to play to the strengths of the engine, and when it comes to creating an engaging AVN story (sandbox or no), RenPy seems to have them most often.
Please note that I do NOT subscribe to any "Uh, RPGM is shit, why don't people do it in RenPy" arguments you find in some threads, if the game is good, it is good, if it is bad it is bad, no matter the engine.

Generally, I tend to agree.
Also many Unity games are very similar to a Ren'Py game.
You forgot the whole html/Twine group here.
Also for me, it often looks like, I made 10 maps, now I need to show and us them, with a lot of get & fetch quest over the whole 10 maps. Often for me, if you can port a RPGM engine game without cutting nearly anything out of it to the Ren'Py engine, then perhaps you wouldn't need the features of RPGM in the first place and perhaps the Ren'Py engine would have been the more straightforward choice.
For Unreal it in my case often a no game, simple because my poteato don't like Unreal at all.
Also many Unity games are very similar to a Ren'Py game.
Often, not always. Same could be said for Java games.
Or saves and rollback and so on.
You forgot the whole html/Twine group here.
I see more issue with (mis-)use of the engine and missing of a (good) game concept in general as well as lacking skill. If you're skilled, you can use the engine you like and do the things you want, even if the engine per se isn't made for them. But if you're a lacking those skilled, it won't go well and you better stick with the engines designed purpose...

Oh yeah, HTML games. Best with "Real Porn". The not at all lazy slideshow of bad quality porn I couldn't find elsewhere on the net.

Well, I gave it a try but the lack and simplicity of choices is a big turn off for me. And If I was reading the dialogs before, I found myself skipping it now more and more.

To each is own or sumthing like that. But I find it facinating what goes goes into these dialogs and the story. I may skip through the next time I want to change something but it was great the first time>
i didnt read it since 0.5 and its sad no new content with Luna she is by far the best caracter for me =( hope to see her a lot more in the future....

So I'm finally playing the update and I'm surprised by Triaquaedam.
Did we ever had an answer as to why the event is the same even in the Friendship route ?

Aw what a cute bug
*cough* Er I mean ; okay then. I guess it'll be fixed with season 2, then ?
Edit : Holy shit, that ending.... well now I'm also waiting for season 2 to know if Gracie will be okay... she's one of the main LI and integral to the plot but I'm still worried

As well you should ! Hope is a sociopath on a good day and a psychopath on all the others ! Killing of a Main Li midgame is what he refers to as 'Monday'.Aw what a cute bug

However...I have in on good authority that, just as Gracie is about to take her final breath, with the entire family standing around her bed in tears, Cynthia will make her first appearance. It's little known yet, but just as Cordia can move faster than bullets and Serpent never misses a shot, Cynthia is commonly known as the 'Lady of space and time' (YES, Andrzej Sapkowski totally ripped Hope of, lawsuit pending), so she will travel back in time to just before Gracie getting shot, moves her out of the way, only to return wondering what the fuck she's doing in an empty hospital room.
Cautious estimates predict Hope winning 4-5 Hornies at the next Pr0ncademy Awards just for this one scene alone. Movie right sales are still being negotiated with Keanu Reeves being the frontrunner to play the MC. 2023 man ... what a time to be alive !

Well I hope Bison -er- Hope will refrain from his psychciopath tendencies this time
And good luck to him in the court with Sapkowski. The guy hates video games, so VN should be less than dried shitstain to him, that old geezer.
Brazzers, eat your heat out ; this is the future of pr0n.
As long as Gracie is OK and Keanu is involved, the money will flow.
When the main character starts having sex with the main girls, he better not be infertile like pornhwa main characters.

It's not meant to be played with Joiplay/Android, since that's not supported by the dev.
Game has no issues when played normally on pc (as it was intended), and pretty much all bugs/issues it had before with pc has been quashed.
