Being a DIK: Season 1 & 2 + Acting Lessons Bundle

They are both visual novels, excellent and exciting stories. I really recommend both. Being a DiK is not finished yet but it's on a path to become one of my favorites!

Sorry for stating the obvious in title, but it is important to keep that in mind at all times. Won't get into holy crusade about morality of porn content here, except to state - if I had to choose between graphic sex and graphic violence my take is: "Make love, not war!" I noticed this game on sale and it had some unusually positive reviews which intrigued me. Didn't expect much, and I am not much into visual novel format, as I saw a few too many who weren't worth a shit, and some which were downright repulsive. With BaD, I was pleasantly surprised. And with writing, no less! Now, remember the title of this review. Story and direction won't win any literary awards, but for being what it is, it is freaking miracle! It is hilarious, witty, warm, sometimes even touching and dramatic and clearly wondrously diverse and pleasant to go through it. Story and characters make sense, and have more depth and soul than seems fair for such a title. Yes, everybody is depicted rather revealing overall, and there are some turns of events which raise an eyebrow, but read the title. I have never seen porn written so well. If I had to compare it to something, it would have to be an "American Pie" movie series which share somewhat similar humor, theme and spirit. Other thing that catches the eye are details. Gosh, every little peace fits perfectly in its place for a reason, from interface (which is great) to little story nuances and graphic details. There are a lot of minigames, which are ever innovative and fun and work well together to break that boring visual novel thing. It is obvious it was a work of talented individuals who put lot of love into this project. Other than that, BaD has decent but not stellar graphic. Character and clothes design is superb and detailed as everything else, if a little plastic. Didn't even care for porn (it's ok)- Music is great but won't be everybody’s cup of tea. It captures the spirit just fine. Give it a try. I'm looking forward to next season!

...then don't play it.

I have been following this game for a long, long time. This game is fantastic! There is a lot of thought behind the story, the characters, the UI, the mini-games, the smartphone content, the free roams and the design of the game, and everything around it. The animations are perfect, and the renders and superb! The soundtrack is also excellent. If you haven't played any AVNs before and this is your first. You made the best choice you can make. This is a perfect game. Do yourself a favor and buy this game. It is worth every penny.

I disovered Acting Lessons out of curiosity and because it had been recommended by a friend, for the story mainly (or that's what he said). At first I was surprised as this is some sort of "fap" game, but at the end I could only agree with my friend ; The story and characters personalities are what make this game great. Then I tried Being a DIK, and I must say the overall quality has greatly increased. Characters, animations, humor, story, Music (great, great music ! The only game with Cyberpunk where I searched some titles on Youtube to listen to them on my own) : I have hundreds of games of many different types, and this one is one of my favorites, and the Rolls Royce of the genre. Therefore it is so sad to read all of those supidly (WOKE-type, I would say) bad reviews, these games do not deserve them.
