Longtime lurker here having my first ever post be a review.
So, I have played plenty of these games, including Driftys classic IMHO LoF, and I gotta say the potential is here for this to be another great one. I only give it a 4 star due to the fact we are still fairly early on and it seems premature to say "All-time great" over something where we have just a few chapters thus far.
The positives: A large amount of characters and not only that but I care about basically all of them and want to know more about them. The MC is hilarious, plenty of funny bits (much like his previous work) and I love the little Easter eggs referring to his prior work as well as other creators work, really helps make those of us who have played a decent amount of these feel like it's truly a small world after all/all in the same universe and makes one dream about potential crossovers The renders are diverse enough that there is something for everyone in terms of what attracts you, it's not just 'All females have tits the size of small cars' which is a pet peeve of mine. The minimal (in comparison to most) amount of sex scenes are not even noticed due to how the amount of dialogue and world-building is entertaining and engrossing, in some games that can feel like a grind but I would spend a few hours on this and there would be 1-2 sex/nude scenes and it wasn't an issue at all. At the end of the game so far, I just found myself going "Oh man, I need to know what's next". Grammar and spelling is spot-on, the dialogue comes off very natural and human. Sound effects are great, and the music is varied enough that I don't feel the need to just mute the music, as in most games I find myself playing on mute.
The negatives: The MC, while he is as entertaining and relatively harmless as the MC in LoF, does look a lot older than he should, but that's a minor quibble. As is the fact that we see a few features on the phone which even 2 chapters in don't seem accessible at all, but this game is still early on in the process, I just wish there wouldn't be anything shown which you can't do anything with til it actually is a playable part. For as many contacts as you have. there are VERY FEW texts and calls, you look in all but like 2 people and it's always "So sad, no messages"; that is maybe the biggest negative for me thus far as I do like the communication aspect of these genre of games, having lots of chatting really further engrosses you into the world and the shoes of your character and how it is so far does hurt the immersion aspect, I've barely used the phone except to check on tasks as it seems everything else on it might as well have an 'under construction' sign for how little you have any use of it (from wallpaper to the social media site to aforementioned texts and
. The perks and stats also seem pointless at this stage, but like other issues it could just be that we aren't far enough into the game yet for it to make actual differences.
Overall, I'm pretty hooked on this game. If it's anything like the developers previous one I'm expecting to go on an emotional roller coaster and want to legitimately have the endgame with any number of the ladies. I hope that it keeps all options open with the women and doesn't fall into that trope of you did one thing wrong and you are permanently screwed in terms of ever having any sexy times with them. Can't wait to see the next chapter, it's always a good sign when you have a million questions and ideas about what is coming next.
