Unreal Engine - Wild Life [v2025-06-27 Full] [Adeptus Steve]

EDIT:
I had to rewrite this review as of april 2024 as many changes have happen since:

Now i see the story is being worked and at a good paced (even while they continue to put out their regular bug fixes and new animations. Even faster than most games here on F95 so this is EVEN BETTER). I'm giving this 5 stars simply because of the sex mini game animation combined with the amount of animation (especially in the sex mini games) combined with the graphics. The story is a bonus at this point and it's coming along. Once you have a good computer and understand how to use lighting and depth of field to create that truly cinematic look, it takes this game to a whole different level and makes this the best in the business.

Personally i run the reshade app to get a custom DOF, film grain and a letterbox border. I run wildlife on 4k on almost all highest possible graphic settings at about 30-40 fps and it looks like an animated move you would go to the theatres to watch (minus the porn aspect lol)

Devs, in the future if you think the "game" part of this is not going to happen, then focus on making this the best animation viewer with the sex MINI GAMES, sandbox editor, the ability to make custom animations, and also optimizing the game so others can get into it.

5/5

some of the best animations i had ever seen- Three years ago...
in 2023 tech and engines are slowly evolving, and Wild life has been in a mess of development for what feels like YEARS, with little to no Chunk of decent progress being made to have it resemble an actual game.

i played this over 3 years ago, and played it recently. the optimisation is horrendously bad, so is the bugs. the progress has come a SMIDGE since a few years back, but its still esentially a pose simulator, meaning heres characters, spawn em in, test the animations. sure you have a proof of demo concept of the narrative theyre writing, but the progress is so horribly slow, that the tech is gonna evolve before the content of this game does. which means theyre gonna switch engines, and start again.

development is all over the place. it is. this has been in development for the longest of time, and yet the content and features really havent reflected that, nor has the optimisation itself either. i run on an i5 8600k 32gb ddr4 ram and an rtx 4060, so theres no excuse. this game does however succeed on having you take over whomever, and explore a vast amounts of taboo kinks with lion dudes, cow ladies, goat dudes. and even some m/m (which is lacking btw, all characters should be able to interact during scenes)...

it seems like theyre focusing on the very minimum and short term rather than actually making this a game. if you want a quick fap and got a decent pc, this could be for you. but if youre expecting an actual GAME, its not. its an animation viewer with a cast of characters, and an empty map to explore. and on the side a proof concept demo featuring very dull and basic dialogue quests.

this could be great, it could. but the dev team are all over the place and clearly have no idea how to pull this into being an actual functioning game. the time is been, and the content available. thats why its two stars. optimisation this bad, this far into DEVELOPMENT.... NO EXCUSES. laziness.

carnal instinct does what this tries to do SO MUCH BETTER. better optimised too, and resembles games like conan exiles type gameplay. development is long winded, but theyre still communicative with their players. go to carnal instinct. this is likely to be left in the state its in for how long its been in development for

With almost an AAA budget and nearing the 5 year development mark, you'd expect more more than an animation viewer. At least the animations are good, because everything else is extremely lacking, with no real care in development as bugs from 2 years ago have still not been fixed.

If you wonder how to describe Wild Life well my friend its the Star citizen of Adult Games. Big promises, Insane Future Visions, Very Interesting and promising looks and Gameplay but... then you realise those are just render trailers or promises made and you actually download the game just to find a unfinished game in very long development that at the current state is very far from what it is promised to be. So ill give this a VERY carefull and Hopeful 4 Stars. I watched this game for a long time but its not going anywhere for now come back in 3 years maybe they then have moved on from the show room and 1 mission gameplay and actually managed to create a superb Eroge game like promised.. well or you will see a Abandonded tag. Lets hope for the best

1st of, I'm sorry to say this...
in this new version, with the same settings those gave me minimum 40 fps in the UE4 version with almost top quality visuals, I don't even get to move with a kind of Tomb Raider 2 (the original) graphics, in a pretty empty environment nontheless...

in one word: unplayable

cant save.
worste optimization.
2 hr gameplay no one sex scene.
bigest emty map i see. but 1 star for good look amination in sandbox.
without save\ load its unplayble.
followed character stuck in rocks

I don't know the point of writing a review when we already have these many, but ohwell.
I applaud the effort and consistency of the team making this game, but at the end of the day it's just, boring. Sound design is great, but the girls all have bodies that are pretty much the same. Also the furry only stuff is just eye rolling. Some how it still manages to hold a very vanilla feel. Also noodle dicks, this is not the next step up in 3d sex animations. Guys have noodle dicks that just curve however.

I keep coming back to give the animations a look for like an hour to see if anything's above board and it's not. I think monster massage actually handles it's animations better come to think of it.

The game has been in development for a long time. I saw her for the first time in 2017. A lot of progress has been made during this time.
This is a great game that is definitely worth paying attention to. One of the best 3d games of the genre.

Positive:

• A huge number of high-quality sex animations with the possibility of a little interactivity in them.

• A large number of different characters with excellent detail.

• Perfectly crafted furry characters. They are not all gay as is usually accepted. Female individuals that is.

• Powerful level and character editor. You can create scenes from ready-made objects or build something of your own. The character editor includes the ability to change skin texture, color, makeup, hairstyles and clothes.

• A big open and beautiful world without loading between its parts. Now (10/08/2023) it doesn't look like it should.

• Very good graphics and details of objects and the world. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5.

Disadvantages:

• Poor optimization.

• There are only 2 playable characters in the story mode (Max and Maya).

• It is unclear what kind of gameplay the developers offer. Is this a wild world survival game or a romantic adventure?

very well made game! chatted with one of the developers thru their discord and they were very kind, gave many inputs for their future updates. Would defintely buy this game when it comes out or if its free here I will support thru patreon. Much love to this game hope to see it to its fullest

Very good game, defiantly something to look up to when making your own game. Great and plentiful animations. Good graphics, the only thing is the gameplay is a bit clunky. but that does not matter much since no one plays 18+ games for the gameplay.

This is a review for the U4 version of this game


This is NOT a game, this is a scene poser akin to Honey Select or other illusion titles, wild life trades the customization and freedom in creating your character from an illusion game for the BEST animations and giggle physics in a porn game period, you won't find anything better out there, this is it, this is the peak of Animated porn, you will only get better content by learning blender and making your own Porn.

the "game" features monsters both female and male, a tentacle monster and Futanaris, and of course the classic male and female all of them can engage in sex with each other with multiple animations including group sex, you can move the camera, change the pacing, use a First person perspective, use slow motion, change between vaginal and anal and some specific animations have variants, you can change the skin texture, hair, muscle level, boobs, butt, thighs and balls (why?) and some other small things like makeup, eye and skin color, creatures ALSO have customization you can change the fur of all the animals and some other features, combining all of this gives you Thousands of options to fullfill whatever needs you may have at the time, you will not find anything better for this type of thing, but I must reinstate this is NOT a videogame, gameplay, storie, features, combat and whatever else devs promise in their patreon are marginal at best, while this may anger a lot of people hence the rating of this game i personally got what i was looking for.

The biggest complain in this game is that you can't have a character with flat chest

Wild Life - A Creative Playground That Divides Players

Wild Life is a challenging game to review due to its niche appeal and unique development goals. The player community is often divided, with some loving the game and others left disappointed. To help you understand what you're in for, here's a breakdown of the game's pluses and minuses.

Positives:

1. Creative freedom: Wild Life offers a robust editor filled with assets and tools, allowing you to unleash your creativity and build whatever you want.
2. Unique sandbox experience: This game provides a different kind of sandbox mode, where you have the freedom to create your own story and gameplay instead of relying on a pre-built experience.
3. Potential for growth: As you explore and experiment, you might be amazed by the possibilities and learn to love Wild Life for what it is.

Negatives:

1. Lack of guidance: New players might be confused by the empty map, expecting a more traditional sandbox game with a storyline and gameplay to guide them.
2. High system requirements: The game demands a powerful system with a strong single-core processor, a modern graphics card compatible with Unreal Engine 5, and enough VRAM.
3. Bugs and issues: You might run into game-breaking bugs that could hamper your experience.
4. Limited character customization: Don't expect an extensive library of clothes and appearance options like you can find in Illusion games, for example.

In conclusion, your enjoyment of Wild Life will largely depend on your expectations and willingness to embrace your creative side, as well as how well you can run the game on your computer (if at all). If you're looking for a typical gaming experience with gameplay, story, and sex, you might be disappointed. However, if you dive into its sandbox and explore the creative possibilities, you may find yourself loving the game despite its shortcomings.

Taking all these factors into account I decided that I can't rate Wild Life as 5 star Excellent but instead a 4 star Good is fair. It may not be perfect, but it's an intriguing and unique experience that has the potential to captivate those willing to give it a chance. Also, don't forget that the game is a work in progress in constant development. The developers are engaging with the community via their discord server and eventually there will be a story with gameplay.

The game is undergoing some serious changes, it seems. The gameplay part of it is now pretty much empty. There's a new map, which is completely empty, whereas before there was a village with a short quest.
The adult part, on the other hand, is slowly improving - more poses, animations and stuff. I still think this is one of the best porn games because personally, I don't need a rich story with crazy quests and deep lore. I have many other games that are made to enjoy the story. Here, I wank and go about my business.

Wow i expected something more than just an empty world after 6 years of development...
Let me start by saying that i tried the game back in 2019 and its still in the same fken stage just in another place.(New map)
There are alot of sex scenes and nice looking models but that's just it. Apparently there is some hook mechanics and combat system in the works but its just for show atm.
No story no mechanics no voices no nothing.
Comparing this to Skyblivion for example makes this "game" look like a joke. Skyblivion is a fan made remake that started a year earlier than this and its gonna release in 2025. This "game" on the other hand is in an indefinite development apparently. Just by looking the "what's new" you can see the devs focus more on the sex animations and CLOTHES rather than mechanics,story or even fken simple buildings. The only mechanic that is good is the flying one but im not sure if the devs made it or if was in the UE store and they just used it.
Honestly dont even try it. There's literally nothing to see other than the sex scenes. If u wanna see sex scenes you'd be better of installing Skyrim and some sex mods.
My last thought is that the devs are afraid of upsetting the patreons by stop doing their request (which are obviously more sex scenes and outfit requests) and cant focus on the baseline game, either that or they're pulling a Star Citizen.

The current version is quite unstable. Many issues and bugs are found with the new U5 engine, quality has plummeted significantly, framerate has decreased, graphics are worse overall, the stability of the game and files has taken a hit, and the U5 engine appears to heavily tax even higher end super PC's. The new UI and body posing system does not function as intended, the new systems are not very user friendly compared to the old systems, and scenes are less controllable and customizable as compared to previous versions. Sandbox custom files are corrupted by the new current version upon loading and ruin all previously saved data, files, and maps, this needs to be addressed ASAP.

While I applaud the devs for trying to move towards the newer system and implement new aspects to the game, the old U4 engine appeared to function vastly greater as far as stability and playability and the old systems, UI, and aspects of the game were overall much more user friendly and functional for what the game needed. I hope the devs can resolve these issues and game breaking bugs moving forward, but if not maybe rolling back to U4 will benefit this game best. I'm hoping for the best.

Animations are good, textures and meshs, amazing. Still, some stock assets are to be found here and there but that's okay for now.

Something that isn't okay is that the game is in developement for 6 years ongoing, they make more than a million a year in patreonmoney alone and still, the game lacks substantial elements to this very day. There's no plot, no story no gameplay itself. It's just a gallery of scenes and a 'somewhat' working prop/housing designer for you to run around and create smaller cells for you to view the animations in. That what we have, again, isn't bad, quite the opposite, but the time it took and all the stuff they haven't even started working on, obviously, makes this the new Star Citizen of porn games. All the promises, but nothing happening.

They started re-working the old free map 3 times, we are currently in the third cycle. The last time, the map featured a lot of somewhat fleshed out and interesting stuff to explore. since about they started over, year or so, the map is basically empty, unfinished and 'pre-alpha' looking. But, instead of working on this much needed map, they think its better to work on areas to show a few eastereggs and 'possible' future gimmicks.........

The final question, why does it take them so long for so little?
The answer is the same. Over and over again. Because there are too many dumb cows out there, ruining it. People are greedy, that will never change. But if you even make them have an easier time being greedy, you get what you deserve, i'd say.

seems to have shocking little content in a terrible sandbox for having so many views. Have only played the start area of the game but did not see any means of progression or a non awkward manner of posing characters.

Well done SIR. Out of the many devs who usually flake out of a project, you're of the very few, who have been more consistent than even most AAA titles.. i hope like hell you'll continue with the bleeding edge development i've been seeing.. your UI friendliness is among the best out there, if not the best. Honestly, i'd dare say you're beginning to rival VaM. Keep it up bro!

WHATS WITH THESE 1 or 5 STAR REVIEWS?!
You'll very quickly notice every single negative review is saying:
There's no story, there's no content, or something along these lines.

Then you'll notice anyone with a brain bring up that it's a DEMO, IN-DEVELOPMENT game.

Okay so why are people raving over this amazing game? What's up about it? It's surely not just really good animations right?
CORRECT!

SANDBOX!
So this game(demo), in its current state has an insanely high level of freedom currently in its SANDBOX mode! You can create high quality scenes if you know your way around building with given shapes and textures, as well as pre-created decorations and architecture you can easily select in the sandbox menu.
It doesn't end there, the level of freedom is essentially infinite, as you can even import your own 3d models and use them as buildings and props/decorations for your SCENE.
The lighting is entirely customizable, and you can create any effect you can imagine light wise with a bit of skill.
After decorating an area, or before if you want. You can add sex poses and animations. Allowing you to create videos, screenshots, or gifs of what you created and share it or put it in your fap vault and lock it up for yourself.
IT DOESN'T EVEN END THERE! You can also use many different EVENT-SYSTEM devices implemented in the sandbox, allowing some skilled people to even create their own interactable story games or games within a sandbox and share it! (Though I will admit the people who figure the EVENT-SYSTEM on here, are the same redstone addicts from Minecraft).

Okay, so what about the GAME GAME??
The only downside really! And it's entirely fair to have this, as it's simply IN-DEVELOPMENT, you can check all of the progress which is PUBLIC ON PATREON. They aren't hiding a single thing about their progress and will even answer questions you have in the official or UNOFFICAL discord when they have the chance! INCREDIBLE!
The game is said to be a story driven action adventure RPG game, that's a big claim! From what I've seen though, IT WILL take a while, but it's definitely coming along based on development posts!

TLDR
If you're into sandbox and entire freedom, such as minecraft creative mode, but with sexy scenes and such. THIS GAME IS GREAT FOR YOU.

If you're only here for a story, COME BACK ANOTHER TIME, it's not here yet at all, it's in development!

Wild Life is the game with the best animations out there - they're so fluid and well executed, but then, unfortunately, that's the only selling point of the game yet.

The developers don't quite know where they want to go with this game after all these years. Beasts? Humans? Sandbox Engine? Story? Open World? They try to accomplish all in the same time, which leads to various issues:

1. Beast content does cockblock great human content each update. Time "wasted" on some cows or little demons having sex will lead to fewer human content which'd speak to a way larger audience. Also, there is this 200kg guy with green skin that looks like puke - don't enjoy watching this guy with 5 fat rings having sex? Well, you're again missing out on a lot of content since lots of animations are hardlocked on him.

2. The Sandbox is great, but it's also clumsy in the same time. There are so many things that desperately scream for quality of life updates, such as cameras automatically getting names and possess functions so you don't need to type it in 100 times for 100 cams. Fade in / out should also be a tick box between cameras, instead now you need to deploy a fade out event, give it a name, give it a trigger, add cams and so on, and it doesn't even work properly if you hide the UI. Which means if you want to enjoy your custom sex scenes with fades between, you have to have the UI in the picture all the time.

3. Story? Open World? Maps? Well, they've been working on this for years, yet there's nothing. I think they're rebuilding the world map now for the third time. They should decide whether they want to create a sandbox game or a story game, but both in the same time doesn't go well. Also the performance is really worse if you go into the demo village, laggy as hell on a modern high end machine.

4. Lack of content. Each update (2 months) comes with 5 new sex scenes or so and some bugfixes. That's not enough, especially not considering the fact that they get 100.000€ a month through Patreon. With this money you could easily bang out 50 new sex scenes every two months while there's still TONS of money for all the other stuff.

That's because they're not good at setting priorities, so instead they went to do a motion capture session in order to create some funny dances and fortnite-y like emojis for the ingame characters, while everyone is waiting for new sex scenes and sandbox features. Like.. did you even think for a minute about how to spend your budget and time? Things like that should be on the very end of the list at this stage of development.

If they don't start to set a straight focus, prioritize things and then finish that core game before they add more features or niche stuff like beasts, this game isn't going anywhere in the near future.
