VN - Ren'Py - Young Again [S2 Ch. 8 Public] [Zargon_games]

I really liked the romance progression in this game, it was slow but felt natural so it made sense.
The renders start off as average but improve quite a bit in the later updates so they are good looking however the animations are pretty basic, especially compared to some newer games, i wish the game would improve in that regard.
I didn't expect to like the old guy with a new body plot but it ended up being a pretty wholesome story (for an incest game) thanks to a well written MC.

Very Good game, enjoyed the sister being a redhead as that's my preferred type, story does a good job of creating the good guy harem setting where you are just a pussy magnet by simply being a nice person even if it's for some selfish reasoning plot wise. Does a good job of assuaging guilt a player might feel this way. Makes you feel like if you are a good person in real life then you will be swimming in pussy. And it isn't entirely wrong about that, but it takes a special type of nice guy to get that and most "nice guys" aren't this type of nice guy. The story is pretty kinky, I wish the best story line didn't involve fucking a fat old lady as that's not my kink. I do like that the gf has to get skinny before anything happens between you tho, I just wish the results were a little more visible in the character model, as she does get thinner but she always feels visually as a fat girl in a slim girl body, I think it'd take some tinkering with the belly area and the cheeks of the face to remove these artifacts of fat-girl-ness from her model. Otherwise the game is pretty good, models could be a little better but the story has cohesion and the game is pretty well made so I'm not docking it any points. I'm looking foward to updates. Keep em cummin!

Was curious about this one after reading some reviews and overall i enjoyed it.

The setting is very interesting with that father reincarnating in the body of a young piece of shit and fixing the various issues he left behind for his family and doing the same for the family he reincarnated into by being a good guy instead of what the asshole the previous owner of the body was.

The MC is rather likeable as he means well most of the time (though some of his inner dialogue may be sometime immature for his real age and sometime facepalm inducing like when out of the blue he oogle his daughter like some casual pervert).

The various characters are overall well wrote , out of a couple of them like the son that is wrote as a cartoony idiot.

All in all it is a good AVN, some wholesome part (the father getting his wife a new husband, helping his daughter getting past her issues or getting his son back on track) are delivering a lot of feel good while some immature ones are just annoying to go through.
would rate 3.5 if the system allowed it as it's close to a good 4 but some of the dialogues and thoughts of the MC drag it down a bit.

Version: [Season 2 - Ch. 4]

In 'Young Again' we get to play as a middle aged man that died and got another chance at life by some diety, he comes back as a young guy but has to do two things - make sure his asshole son is less of an asshole, and that his daughter loses weight.

Well... as one would assume, story isn't really the strong point here, a pretty tired setting and very mediocre execution, the whole 'missions from the diety' things at least provides an excuse to stick around MC's old family, and getting his daughter to lose some weight so she becomes a tiny bit more fuckable for MC.
The dialogues are pretty bad, another case of 'no one actually talks like that', very immersion breaking and made me start skipping at some point.
No worries about missing anything interesting though, as the characters are very shallow, uninteresting, and only exists to fulfil their role in MC's life. there is no character growth and all pretty much every written word is a pointless conversation about nothing important, or an escalating imitation of sexual tention and sexual acts.

The truly unfortunate part is there's absolutely no payoff.
The models are... alright, MC's daughter looks pretty bad and actually kind of dumb (something about her eyes?) and yah, once again, pretty mediocre.
The scenes are VERY short which is a problem as I had to read/skip a whole bunch of text to get to them.

Overall 'Young Again' had some charm to it, I'm alright with the setting and liked some of the characters, but as the characters kept speaking, as the story kept progressing, the charm worn off and overall I found 'Young Again' unsatisfying.
The more I thought about it, I had to drop the original score I intended to give it (3) to 2.
Feel free to give it a shot if you like the setting and the models, and don't mind a mediocre story and bad writing.

This game made me more fully realize that the rating system needs increments. I didn't want to give this a 3, so I gave it a 4 even though it's more like a 3.5.

I like this game a lot, but the inconsistent writing and the mediocre animations are what keep me from rating it higher. There's a lot of potential here, though, and I still recommend that people experience this game for themselves. The music is a real high point, and the story is quirky but fun.

A banal and very boring plot. I literally fell asleep while flipping through this VN. Two-dimensional characters, none of whom are capable of arousing a sense of empathy. The only thing that saves this VN is the graphics - we see ordinary people, not handsome, not ugly, the kind we meet in subway, in supermarkets, etc. Now I finally got to chapter 11. I decided to finish the first season (how many chapters are left?), although in my native language there is a good saying about this:
If you don't want to shit, don't torment your ass (Не хочешь срать - не мучай жопу).
And another thing - on F95 you can find VN and games with a much more interesting plot, with more interesting characters, whose evolution is really interesting to watch. I prefer unhurried, slow plot development, it gives the author a chance to create a really interesting piece of writing. You might wonder if I'm asking too much of a porn game. The answer is that if you want to watch porn, download porn reels or porn comics, (there's a lot of porn torrent - trackers), they will satisfy your needs.
So, only 2.5 points out of 5. One point I added for the graphics.

Everything about this game is mid. Story, characters, visuals, sound.

But I love it.

I couldn't put my finger on why. Maybe Ruby? I just enjoyed every moment, despite reservations over the quality of the writing, and how off-putting Zoe's face was in the first lewd. There's a great deal of "heart" in the game. I can tell the developer is having a lot of fun and that bleeds over to the reader.

I don't understand how I can be so disappointed in how banal the execution of the central premise is (The movie, '17 Again' has a similar plot, but has way more interesting and dramatic events), and yet so satisfied while playing.

I'm guessing this will make it a YMMV game, if it gets its hooks in, then you'll have a good time, otherwise you might be quite bored.

I'm up to the beginning of Chapter 6, and I've been at this game off and on for hours.

It's good stuff so far. Most of the girls are incredibly cute, the script is really fun, and the MC and their love interests are very likable. Very glad that I played this today! I'll come back once I'm given some time to miss this game!

Let's see, what can I say that's contructive?

I don't know if you've already fixed this, but try to make Emmas back as attractive as her front. From the front she's really cute, from the back not so much.

Also, I posted a bunch of pics on page 148.

Edit: Also, AIF games points this out: Love the concept. A new way to have some of the same themes.

An excellent game. The story, the gameplay, and the artwork all are up to the mark. Enjoying the game very much. I would recommend others to try the game at least once. Good job developer. Keep up the good work and waiting eagerly for the following chapters to come.

Review for Season 2 CH 2

There will be a bit of complaining in the spoiler section, but overall I rate the game 4 stars.
Graphically it's okay, the characters are "probably" well written because I can't hide the fact that I clicked through some of the dialogues as I'm not completely interested in characters like the old family or the new mother etc.
Big plus for being able to reject girls well almost all of them.


This part of the review contains spoilers and complaints because of which I will not give a max rating.

Renders -
Honest representation of older women, Not busty perfect milfs.
Reasonable renders overall, a fat girl and ugly woman even!

Dialogue -
Engaging, a little cliche at times. Yet making satisfactory character development
Feels natural. Very little Player agency.

Satisfaction -
Good, reforming a Bully making amends and shows how much being a good looking dude
Allowed almost impunity from bad behavior. Still a good development making everyone life better.

Fetishes -
Yes, Ruby, ruby,ruby (ah-ah-ah)
Do ya do ya
Know what your doing, doing to me
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

It's not the best thing in the world but it's quite enjoyable, it has ok renders, good writing and no too wordy and engaging characters. its ok, It has its bad things like the sex scenes not being very good but that's all

overall it has a very lighthearted vibe with heartwarming moments, so yeah it's a cool game.

This is a nice little adult VN. Solid visuals, decently written with a cast of engaging characters and impactful choices that is only not a 5 star game because the porn up to this point isn't particularly arousing.
The narrative isn't super original but it's handled competently and the characters are all well done and engaging. I cared enough about the story and characters to want to see where it was going regardless of the adult content and that's not something i can say about a lot of these games
Overall the visuals are nice, the renders are clean and the environments are simple but effective enough in conveying a sense of place and immersion for the scenes. The models are solid too with Ruby being especially pleasing visually. The animations are average and frankly don't add a ton to the scenes imo, but they also aren't a deterrent.
There are a good number of choices and paths and it's nice to be able to choose who you want to have a relationship with.
The only real downside is that the porn itself isn't super arousing. There are a few good scenes and the dev appears to be trying to incorporate some kinkier stuff. Part of the issue stems from the narrative itself.
The MC simultaneously isn't the son and brother of two of the love interests, that takes a bit of the bite out of the incest angle for people that are into it.
The game is also a bit of a slow burn for the major relationships too so it's possible there is more kinkiness in store for them.
Overall it's an adult VN well worth playing especially for people looking for more of a romantic feel.
Recommended for pretty much everyone except for people who are just looking for depraved smut to wank to (not that there is anything wrong with that, that's just not this)

Young Again is a well-written and enjoyable VN that is a bit on the short side. It does put a twist on a commonly used plot device of becoming a young person again. Instead on going back in time, you take the life of a young person whose life you saved.

I like the characters in this game. It focuses on four main love interests and they all have a decent amount of content for them. They're all unique, each having their own unique look and personality. There are a few side girls that have their own content but it feels more tacked on to fulfill the promise that all adult games have of getting to bang every girl you see. All the content is also well-written. Nothing feels like it's progressing too fast and the scenes are very hot.

It doesn't take very long to go through both "seasons" of the game. There's 16 total chapters currently and some are shorter than others. Young Again doesn't have a lot of choices that feel meaningful. It would take two playthroughs to see all the content and even on your first you probably won't miss much. The reason I'm giving this a 4 instead of 5 is because there's nothing that blows you away when you play it. It just a very solid game that I'd recommend if you haven't played, especially if you're into incest.

(Played to Season 2, Episode 2)

Don't skip this one! This is a really enjoyable game with really great writing and complex characters. This does not look to be a harem game, so multiple playthroughs will be required to see all the content.

Pros:

• Great writing!
• Unique, lively, and relatable characters
• Good quality renders
• Diverse, optional sexual kinks will appeal to many (see tags)
• Choices matter
• Heartwarming at times (in an adult VN!?)

Cons:

• Somewhat predictable events
• No story refresher/summary (with exception of season 1 recap)
• MC personality change too easily accepted?

Reviewed Version: S2C2

Yeah it's pretty good. Nice renders, okay story, cute writing. I didn't skip dialogue in this game.
Sex scenes are animated.

My biggest criticism is the choice of music. Imo it undermines any sense of eroticism in the sex scenes, which are sometimes also a bit short and don't have a lot of buildup.

Would recommend.

Normal renders and sex scenes. While the premise of the story is interesting, but i am not sure where the story is going.
But at least this game has a soul. Overall, quite a cute story and characters.

It's not the most original game, but it has an enjoyable story and diverse female characters with kinda realistic bodies, which is often rare in this genre. There are a few shortcomings tho, like a somewhat incoherent story and a mediocrely executed redemption plot for the main character (the younger one, but oldman wasn't saint either), who was probably an asshole before he died. Overall, I like it and I'm looking forward to further development of the story.

Good cast, pretty good writing, good visuals. Ruby, Emma and Anna are my favourites. I'm not into the stuff where they're sleeping or the watersports stuff, but I'm sure the people that appeals to are having a great time.

I'm looking forward to more from this dev. Thanks for making it.

Amazing game in my opinion. but i also have some things that i would love to see, but yea.
Well story wise, its slow in the beginning but after like15 min (intro thing) its getting my curiosity.
models look nice (well, some ) and to be fair, i can't wait for the upcoming development. i really like this game
